Cybergun x FN M249 MINIMI “Featherweight” Airsoft Machine Gun (M249 E2 / 400 FPS / Performance Package)

Lightweight Squad Automatic Firepower with Performance Upgrades Built In

Take command of the battlefield with the Cybergun x FN M249 MINIMI “Featherweight” Airsoft Machine Gun – Performance Package. Officially licensed by FN Herstal, this modern support weapon combines authentic styling with cutting-edge performance upgrades, giving players a lightweight, reliable, and highly effective Light Machine Gun (LMG) that’s ready to dominate outdoor games, MilSim events, and support gunner roles.

Unlike traditional full-metal M249 replicas that can weigh over 15 lbs, the M249 Featherweight utilizes a rugged fiber-reinforced nylon polymer construction, reducing the weight to approximately 8 lbs without sacrificing durability. This allows players to move faster, react quicker, and carry the rifle comfortably throughout an entire day of gameplay.

The Performance Package takes things even further by including factory-installed premium upgrades such as an EMG CNC Rotary Hop-Up Unit, 4UAD 4UANTUM Bucking, and a Lambda Precision Inner Barrel, dramatically improving accuracy, consistency, and effective range right out of the box.

If you’re looking for one of the best-performing support weapons available without immediately investing in aftermarket upgrades, the M249 Featherweight Performance Package delivers exceptional value.
