Cybergun FN Licensed M249 MINIMI “Featherweight” Para – Lightweight LMG, Heavyweight Performance
Bring sustained suppressive fire to the field without the back-breaking weight. The Cybergun FN Licensed M249 MINIMI “Featherweight” (Para) combines legendary M249 styling and functionality with a modern, lightweight design—giving you belt-fed presence and real battlefield utility in a manageable package. Fully licensed by FN Herstal, this Airsoft LMG delivers authentic ergonomics, flexible magazine options, and a performance-focused internal build for reliable full-auto dominance.
Featherweight, battle-ready design
Unlike full-metal box-weight LMGs, the Featherweight Para uses a fiber-reinforced nylon polymer receiver, handguard, top cover, stock and bipod to cut overall mass while retaining exceptional strength. At roughly 8 lbs (3.7 kg) without magazine, it’s far easier to carry, shoulder, and maneuver—perfect for long milsim days, vehicle ops, or squad LMG roles where mobility matters.
Licensed realism and modular compatibility
This is an officially FN Herstal licensed replica—your support helps the original designer. The chassis is also compatible with most A&K and A&K-clone metal M249 components, simplifying upgrades and repairs. The side-mounted feed tray and receiver styling faithfully reproduce the Minimi look while allowing you to use common AEG parts when needed.
Smart internals for real performance
Under the hood is a Version 2 metal gearbox optimized for lightweight LMG duty. Features include an aluminum alloy gearbox shell, 8mm metal bushings, sintered steel 18:1 gearset, aluminum cylinder, polycarbonate tappet plate and piston, high-compression polycarbonate piston head and cylinder head, lightweight polycarbonate nozzle, and a quick-change spring guide. These internals are lipoly-ready and Tokyo Marui M4-system compatible for straightforward tunes and repairs.
Electronic trigger & MOSFET efficiency
The M249 Featherweight comes equipped with an electronic trigger and inline MOSFET, improving electrical efficiency, protecting trigger contacts, and delivering a faster, cleaner trigger response. The MOSFET helps the gun reliably cycle at higher ROF and enhances battery/motor longevity during heavy sustained fire.
Versatile magazine options — includes 1500rd sack mag
This package ships with a 300-round M4-style AEG mag and a 1500-round tan sack magazine (pressure-switch activated electric winding). The sack mag is the perfect balance between capacity and maneuverability — far less bulky than a 2500-round box while still delivering massive sustained firepower. The M249 also accepts most M4/M16 AEG mags and many A&K drum/box options, giving you flexibility in loadout choices.
Precision & control
A rotary dial hop-up gives fast, precise adjustments to tailor trajectory and accuracy for different BB weights and engagement ranges. The aluminum alloy barrel assembly with metal locking mechanism helps maintain consistency and accuracy under sustained fire.
