I followed the advice of many reviews and opinions of other airsofters and purchased a CA249 Mk2 eailier this year.

I was very excited and eager to use it in a game and spent $1100 on it only to strip the piston on the first few rounds. I was using a 9.4v large battery and a MAG 2000rnd box magazine. So after disassembling it and replacing the worn piston, I tried it again.... the box mag jammed up and I ended up stripping another piston.

So 2 pistons and about 250rnds later I've got a big CA249 heep sitting in my basement waiting for me to have enough patience to try and fix it again and pray the next piston lasts more than 5 shots. Aside from that, it seems to be a solid gun.
