Tokyo Marui MK46 Mod. 0 Next Generation Lightweight Machine Gun

Price: $1,359.99

Airsoft machine guns have always come with a premium price tag as they require more materials to make and since they are not as popular as some other models, they are usually made in lower quantities, all are reasons why even entry-level machine guns are more expensive than other entry-level airsoft guns. However, Tokyo Marui has taken the machine gun concept to the next level, or Generation if you may with the MK46 Mod 0. The MK46 is a special designation given to this particular LMG which is based on an M249. What makes this gun special is its electric recoil system, the likes unseen in other airsoft machine guns. Using a dedicated weight that moves back and forth as the gun is fired, offers recoil that is noticeably strong than any other electric recoil system found in electric airsoft guns. In addition to this, the MK46 also requires the user to operate it semi-realistically during reloads. Needing to do this makes using machine guns more fun compared to just pouring large amounts of BBs into its electric box mag and pulling the trigger! Also contributing to its price tag is its packaging. Tokyo Marui always pays close attention to how you receive their products and the MK46 Mod. 0 is probably the coolest one they did. It comes with a really outstanding carry case that is sure to be a great conversation starter and a head-turner.

This ability ensures you as the shooter can dominate any engagement no matter in close quarters or at intermediate distances.
