So why don't you just put a reinforced mechbox in your M249.

Jesus.
Because like mentioned before a v2 reinforced mecbox is a marketing ploy. Its not any better then a standard v2 gearbox.

But that said I personally have had pretty good luck with the v2 gearboxes. Most the broken ones I have seen have been in the winter or lots of full auto with 400+ upgrades.

I have to disagree there, the Marui pot metal is pretty cheap compared to some of the aftermarket ones I've seen (Systema comes to mind). I've snapped a Marui one with a PDI150% spring in winter; the Progear/GP replacement seems to be holding up much better.
