saw or XM8 ?

Ok so heres the thing guys im thinking about getting back into the heavy gunner buisness. The problem is that if I can't get my A&K para SAW im gonna get an XM8. For my old one I had 6 straight clips clamped togther but this time I want a drum or c mag and if anyone knows of one that works with XM8s thats 50$ or under i'd like to know about it. Thanks.

SAW , my spotter uses one and it shoots great .

You will not find a C Mag for under $100 (thats anything quality at least). That being said I would go for the A&K because of realism. Echo 1 came out with a SAW. Its the same price as the A&K, and I believe its metal too(85% sure).

Here in Ohio you are not a support gunner unless you have a replica of a real LMG. have you considered an MG36(full sized G36 with a Cmag and a G36 bipod)? If you have a larger battery its a very effective gun.

The support gunner is the second most expensive role in airsoft (behind very dedicated sniper). If your looking to pray and spray go with the XM8 or a better gun; however if you REALLY want to play the support role then theres no question go with the SAW or another LMG.

sticks

Well my scout got a saw to fool around with but he dry fired it so much it killed itself. So I know the saws ability and I did use the XM8 as a very able support gun but I think your right I was going to also use it for spotter purposes. Ill get the saw thanks.

So what exactly is your question here? Are you asking if you should get a saw or an XM8? Or are you asking if we can find you a drum or c-mag for under $50? Or what?

i would get the saw not the xm8

If your looking to do alot of spraying, along with praying, get the Echo1 Saw. Its worth the money and all of Echo1 products are durable. XM-8's don't look to realistic to me, id get an M-16 or M-4.

i don't think that you will like the xm8. my friend has an AEG xm8 and it is terrible

I agree with kkoerber, they aren't great. Sometimes youll think the frame looks cool and then down the road youll hate it. The M-16 works good for me cuz it gives that extra touch of confidence knowing that your using the gun that your appearance (ACU, BDU) suggests

go with the saw, lay down a solid spray of bb's, let the enemy know you mean bussiness!!

Using a SAW can put you at a very expensive position i.e. buying bbs, gearbox parts, batteries, smart chargers...ect.

Im going to have to add that a MG36 is a gun you have to make. basically you buy a CA G36K and then another $300 in upgrades.

Get the SAW, hope for the best, plan for the worst. I wouldn't even consider the XM8 a worthy support weapon.

I agree with Lone Wolf

Totally SAW all the way , but if you are looking for stealth or bb conservation then forget it .
