I hope so too, means I can replace it with a Polar Star drop in HPA box :P

I ordered the 240 from Eeyore, beyond excited to see it. I'm not much of a gun tech yet but I'll post my impressions when I have it. From what I hear (and I'm hoping it's true, haha) the quality is quite alright. One negative I've heard is the silver part of the feed tray is made of monkey metal, so we'll see how long that part lasts.

Thanks again Tom.

Polar Star beat you to it. They had one on Saturday here in Maryland (they are out of Delaware) in an E1 M240B. They tweaked it and could only get 70 rps out of it (no typo there.) They can hold the trigger down and empty the entire box mag. They said the kit will retail for $650 USD.

By the way I was on the opposite team as the Polar Star guys, so it wasn't pretty for us!

I don't understand this MEGA rounds per second,why don't you guys
buy a super soaker or garden hose?The rate of fire for a C6 is 650to
1000rpm or at max 16rps.

From my understanding, polarstar can be tuned to the RPS you want, meaning you can up it or down it

They were there to test the setup and push it to the breaking point, but it didn't break.

Redwolf says "The weapon alone comes in at around 7 kg / 16 lbs but fully loaded with magazine, battery and BBs it skyrockets to a supermassive 10 kg / 22lbs. A combination of that weight with its length of 125cm / 49 Inches clearly makes it one of the most hardcore skirmishable support weapons in Airsoft. "

so yer it actually is pretty decent to skirmish/ milsim with but even so, running around with that thing gets tiring and i think mounting it on top of a truck would be cool though :P

[Double Tapper]

The real deal comes in at 11KG,and if you have a spare barrel 3KG
200rnds link 5KG =19KGS. Even without the spare barrel,that is still
16KGs.

As for the rps,some ppl want to play speed ball and not airsoft

I think I'll look into the inokatsu one.

[EagleDriver]

I will have to weigh mine with battery and BBs, but I use a Sky Lipo 4000 MAh 7.4v 25C and have taken off the front rail and heat shield. The rail unit alone weighs 1/2 pound.

I love you!

Thanks for the beautiful information.

when you say kit, do you mean the drop in HPA box, or the box pre-installed into the 240?

If its the pre- installed, do you know if they have plans to sell the drop in box separately (for obvious importation into Canada reasons :P )

I have been waiting on the polar star HPA boxes for a few months now - I am VERY excited see them finally hitting the market soon.

Drop in kit only with air rig and everything.

Fuck yeahhhhh

Thats a bit on the higher side then I was expecting though , but its air rig too.... GREAT DEAL!

What size tank?

Have they updated their website with all this info?

EDIT

While poking around google, I found this eagle driver....... I hate you :P

Echo1 M240 Bravo (FN MAG) - Zero In - Airsoft Forums

Did that MOSFET come already installed by echo 1?

I wish it was a 240B but we don't have a sample yet. We were running a CA M249 on Saturday.

BTW, this is where we maxed out:
