A) its still 2/3 the price of a CA249...worth it in my opinion but those on a tighter budget STAR is the way to go
B) swap out the craptastic CA piston/piston head with good polycarb ones and your good to go. STAR are also known for failing motors and a piston problem similar to CA's I believe.
C) true, takes about $150 off the total cost it takes to get it up and running
D) Pansie...
E) tell me about it, though I've decided to invest in a Pelican 1720 to carry my CA249 around in

STAR also uses all mini connectors which have much higher resistance. This reduces your rate of fire, causes heat buildup, kills your battery faster (relative to the number of shots), and can melt in some cases.

As long as you have patients, Raygis Lasvagas is doing a gun group order this summer assuming nothing goes terribly wrong till then. There is also a STAR M249 para in the sale section right now.
