A&K MK43 AEG Airsoft LMG (Black)
[O14A00][05251 / IU-MK43-NB / AKAEGMK43]
New to airsoft? Here are some safety tips for airsoft guns that we recommend following.
Descriptions:
The M60 Machine gun has seen service with the United states Military since 1957 and is most famous for its use by G.I.s in the Vietnam War. Since that time it has been adapted for use all over the world with countries like Australia, Columbia, Taiwan, and South Korea. Although there are numerous newer designs that are in use with the military the M60 has seen combat in the Gulf War, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
The MK43 has been modified from the original M60 design in order to update its capabilities for modern combat. The standard hand guard and receiver cover of the M60 has been replaced with a vertical fore grip hand guard. In addition the barrel has been shortened and the bi-pod has been attached to the receiver for more stability.
The A&K MK43 is an excellent example of A&K's ability to step up and put together a great gun. It is built almost entirely out of metal and A&K added to the realism with their auto winding magazine that only turns on when the trigger is pulled. Another great touch added to this gun is the rate of fire controller, this gun can be adjusted to shoot anywhere from 12-20 BBs per second. This M60 is an excellent addition for collectors or anyone looking for a support machine gun.

I got this gun discounted for $275, but even at $330, this is still a good value. The rate of fire knob works wonderfully and the fore grip is a nice touch. I tend to switch hand position from the grip to the receiver when my hand is tired, so this attachment is nice. I had to get it returned once for a cracked stock, and even my second gun is a little tight on the center, getting the gearbox out not quite as easy as it should be. The front sight on my gun is a bit crooked, but fixing it just requires adjusting the outer barrel. Just take it out and put it in right. Super easy. The carry handle works just fine, just make sure to tighten the screws on it once in a while; they tend to come loose. The box on the left side can be a bit awkward, but I have long arms, so it's not a big problem for me. Overall, a good bang for your buck if you're looking for an LMG.
Pros:
-Shoulder rest
-fore grip
-rate of fire knob
-built in bipod
-functioning carry handle
Cons:
-placement of ammo box
-crooked front sight
-gearbox a bit difficult to pull out
-had to get replacement (see info)
This gun is really nice when it works, has a great rate of fire and decent range if you know how to work a hop up, however the wiring and trigger system is a night mare I'm on my third trigger switch with this gun. Basically what happens is your gun will never stop firing when you pull the trigger, I've replaced it myself and had it done by a local shop and both times within a few months of it being replaced it happens again. Oh and the safety doesn't work very well.
Pros:
It would be great in every way except for the trigger being a piece of shit
Cons:
Trigger

I love this gun. Spits out a wall of call your freaking hits. Excellent feel in hand and just gives you a sense of invincibility.

Gearbox
I plugged in a Lipo battery to it and for the first 5 seconds it shot really fast, then is when extremely slow, and I was wondering either how to fix this, or if I should just get a new gearbox, and if the latter, which gearbox?

Staff Answer:
Airsoft GI does not recommend using springs higher than an M120 in any gun without extensive upgrades, as doing so may create excess tension within the gearbox. 3532 days ago 0

Staff Answer:
Like most other AEGs, compression components such as the cylinder, cylinder head, piston head, nozzle, and bucking can be upgraded to better compression and raise FPS. The second option would be to install a more powerful spring, though compression components may be more beneficial. 3570 days ago 1
