BlackStar does a good look the the Rossi M249 SAW, a light machine gun introduced for the 2026 airsoft season. He notes that the weapon's body is constructed from nylon fibre, which keeps its weight around 3.7 kg—significantly lighter and more maneuverable than traditional full-metal support weapons. Internally, it uses a reinforced V2 gearbox and a mechanical trigger, focusing on reliability for the high volume of fire required in support roles.

Regarding features and accessories, he notes that while the gun comes with a standard high-capacity magazine, an external drum magazine is essential for any serious support player to avoid constant reloading. The M249 includes a foldable bipod, a 6.08mm barrel optimized for range and suppression rather than pinpoint accuracy, and a carrying handle, though caution is advised when using the handle for transport. It also features Picatinny rails for mounting sights and other tactical gear.

In performance testing, the M249 clocked in at approximately 387 FPS with a rate of fire of 17.4 rounds per second using an 11.1V battery. Beyond technical specifications, the video offers tactical advice, emphasizing that the primary role of a support player is to provide suppressing fire to help the rest of the team complete their objectives. To ensure the gun lasts under such heavy use, BlackStar suggests adding a MOSFET for better durability and battery management.
