Some recent pics of my CA M249 Para
almost a year old and put about 40 000 rounds through her,
spent many hours stripping and rebuilding her 2 gearboxes to find a decent median in terms of the power / speed / reliablility equation
One gear box has being designed to use the standard M249 Para / M4 length barrel and the other to use a longer M249 MKII / M16 barrel thus the M249 can be rebuilt either for Medium Range Heavy Suppression or Long Range Medium Suppression.
(in less than 15min)

Lots of fun to use but at 11.5kgs (in fully pimped up mode*)
she's a real back & bicep breaker!
But that makes it all the better, bring on the burn!
* means she's wearing her...

Yes, 3 batteries.
The wiring is still primitive but I am sourcing an electronic solution to control and regulate the multiple battery option.
Enough talk, pic time!
Enjoy
