Though I will admit, the huge orange tip is a turn off.... easy fix though

I wouldn't buy one. I'm a HUGE fan of the Browning machine guns (M2 is my favorite gun) but not for $950. I'm very happy to see this though, as it may be a sign that more companies will come out with a more affordable version *ahem Echo 1 ahem*
Yeah, make the barrel a little longer and drop the price, and I'm sold.

Yeah I'd never pay $950 for a stock airsoft gun but I'm just happy to see that there's one that might have potential. I wonder if Killbucket will have competition...

Saw this a few hours ago, looks sweet. I still want an MG42 that doesn't cost almost 2 grand though over this thing.

Agreed. I actually want the G&P Masada more than anything on earth at the moment

Now that is sexy, but the orange is a turn off.
@ilft99 Look into the Shoei MG42. Gas powered by an external system, hard blowback, very realistic. Oh, wait, that's $2,000.... oops, haha
I wish GHK would make a RPK GBB-R.

Yeah i've known about the Shoei version for awhile but yeah $2000 is more money then i can pay for right now while being in college. There's another MG42 that just came out and it's an AEG, but again it's $2000 as well. Kinda hoping Echo 1 makes one but if not i'm planning on getting the real deal at some point anyway.
Anyhow on topic here's a video of the M1919 shooting if no one has gone to Youtube yet. Oh and it looks like this Viva Arms company has an MG34 as well. And here is Viva Arms website as well. They make a two Sten guns which now makes their name ring a bell since i remember seeing a Viva Sten awhile ago.

Hahaha look at how much "Rhino Airsoft exaggerated on the FPS!! Unless they did some upgrades, the VIVA website states it as 290-310 FPS.
And so I'm guessing these come LiPo ready?? I REALLY want one now, if only there's a bigger magaziine available....

Maybe Rhino Airsoft tests their guns with *gag* .12g BB's.... or some weird rare Chinese lightweight BB that's less than .12g

I don't know about Li-Po ready, maybe but i wouldn't chance it until i found out more about the gun. Airsoft Stens use MP40 mags if i remember right so anything above standard size mags is out of the question i think.
