Krytac Enhanced LMG Airsoft Gun

Krytac Enhanced LMG Airsoft Gun

Click to Purchase the Krytac LMG!

The Krytac LMG "Enhanced" version has been one of the most highly anticipated guns released this year. The wait for the LMG is finally over. We have had these in for a couple of weeks now and have had a chance to test them thoroughly, and so far, we enjoy these guns. I want to use this as my main Operation Lion Claws Military Simulation Series (OLCMSS) gun. Before the original release of this gun style and even with the older Ares Defense Shrike configuration, it was a controversial gun for Operations (Ops) because of the difficulty in classifying the weapon system. Also, some people like to think of it as a bastardized support gun/M4. I am in love with Krytac airsoft guns. From my experience playing at National Operations, I find the gun perfect for Military Operations in Urbanized Terrain (MOUT) sites. This is due to its lightweight and extremely maneuverable size. 

Let's examine the above picture and study what differentiates this from any other Automatic Electric Gun (AEG). First, look at the upper receiver, which differs entirely from any standard M4/M16 upper receiver.  It is heavily reinforced aluminum with a port to allow feeding from a 5.56-box magazine.  The upper also has a side-mounted charging handle on the left side of the gun.  This spot is perfect for cambering a round while in the prone position. Also, note the picatinny railed feed tray cover. This added bulk and design is undoubtedly an LMG/Support weapon, especially considering there is a real steel version of this gun.   

The charging handle also can fold up and out of the way, perfect for storage inside a gun case of your choice. It's not that important, but a testament to  Krytac's attention to detail and is a nice touch.

Enough about charging handles... Let's look at the other side of the receiver. You may first notice the two ejection ports, or at least what appears to be two ejection ports. The top port is for the disintegrating links commonly used by NATO in their 5.56mm belt-fed weapons.

The bottom port is the actual ejection port for the fired brass. The lightening cuts on the upper receiver are cool as they can reduce the weight of the upper while still having plenty of rigidity of the upper receiver. Another notable feature is the functional ambidextrous selector lever. I say functional because some airsoft guns have a non-functional safety lever, believe it or not. Also, the  Lancer Tactical Red Dot sight is one of my favorites.

Let's move to the front of the gun and check out what makes this gun awesome. Like most of Krytac's offerings, this gun sports a nice aluminum Keymod handguard. This Keymod handguard is the handguard of handguards. Although beefy, the rail is extremely lightweight. I wouldn't be surprised if this rail were offered in a standard picatinny style rail interface system, which would be double the weight.

This feature makes the gun nimble compared to standard Chinese die-cast pot metal support guns. I attached the  Speed Airsoft Offset Light Mount and put the LED Flashlight inside. On the bottom, I have the Hera Arms HFG. These are my favorite stubby grips. For those who are not fully familiar with the Keymod system or those who want to know more about Keymod accessories specifically, please take a look at the other blog I wrote specifically on Keymod accessories and the history of Keymod.

Stock is another great feature of this gun (and all  Krytac guns).  The stock has a huge battery storage space.  It can fit 9.6v butterfly batteries or 11.1v buffer tube batteries with no problem.  Also, the QD sling swivel socket is a very nice addition. I love two-point slings on QD swivels. I have QD sockets on all my guns, so I can effortlessly switch my sling between multiple weapons.  Before I switched everything over, I was using HK Hooks and then ITW Mash hooks as popular options, but in the end, I returned to what has been available for years: the good old-fashioned push-button QD sling swivel. Does anyone know what the bottom picatinny rail is for?  Scroll down and check out the picture below.

Was that what you were expecting? For more open terrain, with less CQB, I would configure the gun as above with an NcStar Precision Bipod and a rear vertical grip.  This comes in handy when shooting in the prone position. It is standard protocol to use two hands when firing many support weapons. Look at this British soldier in the image below firing the L86 Light Support Weapon.

Here is Rob, one of our customers, demonstrating firing the Krytac LMG with the rear grip. (Note his Oakley Ferrari swag)

We mounted a standard rail mounted vertical grip to the rail section on the stock and used the ICS Keymod Bipod Adapter to attach the NcStar Bipod to it.

I didn't talk much about the internals because Krytac's gearbox is well-known to be extremely solid. If you are unfamiliar with their internals, I will briefly go over some of the key features;

- EXTREMELY Reinforced 8mm ball bearing gearbox shell
- Integrated MOSFET (Protects the trigger switch from arcing and has a lower resistance than a conventional switch.
- Radiused cuts inside the Gearbox Cylinder Window are used to prevent cracking.
- Quick change spring guide.
- 30k RPM High Torque motor
- Extra material in the front to prevent cracking

Overall, this gun is one of my top two choices for support weapons.  The impressionist side of me makes me want to use the  Action Sport Games Mk43, but the older, practical side makes me want to use the Krytac LMG—first-world problems. Depending on the Operation, I will likely use both guns throughout the year.  

The Krytac LMG "Enhanced" version, a highly anticipated release in the airsoft community, has proven its worth on the battlefield. Designed for those who demand precision and reliability, this airsoft LMG (Light Machine Gun) has quickly become a top choice for serious players, especially those participating in the Operation Lion Claws Military Simulation Series (OLCMSS).

Does the Krytac Trident have a Mosfet?

Yes, the Krytac Trident series, including models like the Trident MK2, comes equipped with a MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor). The MOSFET enhances the electrical efficiency and performance of the airsoft gun by regulating the electrical current to the motor, protecting the trigger contacts from wear and tear, and providing a more responsive trigger pull. This feature is particularly beneficial for improving the overall reliability and longevity of the airsoft gun's internals.

What does LMG mean in airsoft?

In airsoft, LMG stands for Light Machine Gun. An LMG is a type of airsoft gun designed to provide sustained suppressive fire, mimicking the role of real-world light machine guns. These guns typically feature larger magazines or box mags to hold more BBs and often have heavier, more robust construction to withstand the rigors of continuous firing. The Krytac Enhanced LMG is an example of an airsoft LMG, offering players the ability to lay down continuous fire to support their team during gameplay.

Is Krytak vector reliable?

Yes, the Krytac Vector is known for its reliability. The airsoft version of the KRISS Vector, produced by Krytac, inherits the innovative design and engineering excellence of its real-steel counterpart. It features high-quality internals, durable construction, and advanced electronics, including a MOSFET, ensuring consistent performance and durability on the field. The Krytac Vector is highly regarded for its accuracy, rate of fire, and unique design, making it a favored choice among airsoft players.

Does Krytac use Deans?

Yes, Krytac airsoft guns, including the Enhanced LMG, come equipped with Deans (T-plug) connectors. Deans connectors are preferred by many airsoft players for their superior electrical conductivity and lower resistance compared to the traditional Tamiya connectors. This results in better battery efficiency, improved rate of fire, and overall enhanced performance. The use of Deans connectors reflects Krytac's commitment to providing high-quality, performance-oriented airsoft guns.
