AR belt upper with one of these would be pretty wild.

*ahem* securing my place in line.... but when you win an estimated take-home, post-tax jackpot of $450 million, you can probably spring for a class III registered full-auto M249.

Not sure if it was here or somewhere else I saw these before, but I can't see why someone would want a semi auto M249. Same 5.56 round as an AR, not full auto and 3x the weight. Plus, this one is over 3x the cost of a high end AR. The ONLY advantages a SAW has over the M16 is the full auto rate of fire and being belt fed, one of which disappears here. The M60 might weigh a couple pounds more, but at least the pig has the extra firepower of 7.62 mm.

And the pig comes with an asbestos mitten for barrel changes

I don't care how ridiculous it is I want one.

You can order the full auto (open bolt) M249 from FNH.
I believe the price is lower than the semi-auto (closed bolt) gun.
I think they are available thru the Law Enforcement sales program.
