"I've not used this m16a1 in a game yet, but I've shoot it, and as myself being a huge vietnam war fan, I really enjoy this rifle. It really does look like the real steel m16a1 in vietnam. I've had no issues once so ever, I am really satisfied with my purchase, thank you evike for having super quick shipping and not having the rifle damaged in shipping. I'm very satisfied

"Awesome gun, shoots far and accurately. Shoots very fast with an 11.1v lipo but more mags is a must if you’re shooting full auto as you only get around 150-200 rounds in the included hi cap. Overall 10/10 I would buy it again.

"Ngl this gun is an absolute beast.Every time I go to play a game wit the boys I get numerous compliments on how sexy and realistic the m16 functions and looks. I am not upset at all with my purchase of this airsoft gun and I recommend it to anyone who likes good looking and functioning airsoft guns

"AWESOME!!!

Got this AEG to complete my Vietnam gear setup. Shoots about 315 fps (i put about a thousand rounds downrange prior to fps testing). Shoots hard enough and has a very profound and loud sound to it. With a lipo battery there's almost no cyclying time so it sounds like an HPA almost. My friends have commented they like the loudness and the recoil feel when they fire it.

Only con is the 20 round magazine runs out very quick. Get spares or a hi capa if you don't care about historical accuracy (they didn't use 30 round mags in Nam).


This is a solid buy. It was my first airsoft gun and will be my last, there's no need for anything else. Don't wait and buy it already!!!

"Internals are very good for this price point.

- Motor has very strong magnets
- steel gears
- polycarbonate piston with half rack of metal teeth (5 steel teeth)
- aluminum ported piston head with ball bearing set for spring to sit against
- aluminum ported cylinder, somewhat proprietary, small notch that fits with gearbox shell to align it correctly, not necessary, can use other cylinders if you file out notch in gearbox shell
- shielded ball bearing bushings
- brass cylinder head double o ring
- compression of excellent
- polycarbonate nozzle, tappet plate
- spring guide spins on the head, weird system, not proprietary
- gearbox shell is very well reinforced
- plastic hopup unit but the gears are nice and stiff so they won't move loosely

"I love this rifle it is a workhorse in the field I’ve had the gun since September of 2017 and it’s still great I’ve never had any problems I’ve accidentally hit it against a tree and dropped it a couple of times nothing happened still worked I’ve shot at least a couple thousand bbs through it and no jams and the gun is still stock the only thing I replaced was the hop up it broke but that was my fault you can use standard batteries and lipos I prefer lipos I think the gun is great for the money

"Bought myself this so I can have a cheap XM16E1 in my collection.
Plastic body feels ok, surprisingly has a mock working bolt catch, kinda finicky tho.
Really stupid stock design in which the screw keeping the stock in place is all the way in the rear of the battery compartment, meaning u need around a 10 inch Allen key to unscrew that particular screw, letting u remove the stock for basic disassembly.
Internals are ok, 1 piece plastic hop up, brass barrel, meh bucking, stock motor and gearset, 8mm bushings, metal spring guide, purple 7 metal tooth piston w/aluminum cylinder head (2nd to last tooth wasnt removed), double o ring aluminum cylinder head, PORTED aluminum cylinder...really needs to be non ported since it has a 509mm inner barrel.
Orange tip was a pain to remove but its possible.
Also has a notch cut out on the cylinder, in which theres a peg on the gearbox shell that keeps the cylinder in place, to prevent it from moving I guess?, anyway, ud have to shave down that peg if u ever wanna use a different cylinder.
Gun shot around 350-370 fps for me.
Shimming sounds very meh and tight.
The guns ok and I definitely got what I paid for, happy with it.

"This airsoft gun is really great. I got it today and it is the best thing ever.

PROS:
The weight is basically nothing, a surprise for me as the receiver, barrel and other parts are full metal. The ironsights are very good and line up with the pellet path very well. This gun is also very accurate. The power of this gun can send the pellet very far. The gun can punch straight through a full aluminum can, and is very fun to use. The charging handle moves and releases the dust cover with a great sound.

CONS:
The magazine release is a bit finicky, but is tolerable. This gun is VERY loud, especially on full auto. This gun scared my neighbors and they live 4 houses down in my neighborhood. With mine, if you pull it back at certain angles, it gets stuck but if you push it back it goes back to normal.

All in all, this M16 is worth the money and absolutely love it

"On my gun the trap door to the hop up(not the hop up itself though) unit broke first day, but I still love the gun it is amazing and would definitely recommend if you want a good accurate gun this is it overall 5 stars it makes up for the broken part by being amazing.

"If your a Vietnam reenactor or just like cool guns this is for you. And for the price its amazing. I bought this gun a few months ago and my only problem was that the bolt cover broke. but other than that its great.
by Russell H. on 07/01/2017
"Seems to be really Solid construction, if you run out of ammo you can use it as a club, 'course haven't verified that, still feels great.
Caveat on the gun are the directions, which are kinda generic and led me astray for a while, as I'm less than a newbie, bought this as a gift for someone and just wanted to make sure it worked. Hit You Tube and found out what I needed to know there.
Evike was GREAT with customer support, my confusion, and utter lack of experience, very polite, and I'd definitely buy from them again.

"I have had this gun for a while... (3-4 years), nothing has gone wrong with it.... even though i have kept it stock.. this was my first good gun... I would say in my opinion that this gun is great for starter's - Intermediate player's......

Pros:
FPS
ROF
Light weight

Cons:
Hand guard Wobble (Little bit)
by Joshua C. on 09/26/2014
"So before I start I want to say that Im a newb.
This was my first good airsoft gun, i really like it. Nothing wobbles on it, it is very sturdy. I got it today, so i cant say how its going to do in the long run, but i can say based on reviews I seen and my first impressions, it could very well last a long time if you take care of it.
pros-
-SeXy vietnam style
-good range
-sturdy
-the important parts are metal
-since there is parts that are plastic (good quality plastic) its relatively light
-dont have a crono, but id say its around 380-400fps
-many parts are fully functioning, like bolt handle, bolt catch...
-battery is ok (8.4v)... but i do recommend a 9.6v

cons-
-mag that comes with it is only 190 rounds... you can go through it fast. i recommend to get a full metal matrix flash mag, it works great!
-its pretty loud, but it adds intimidation, especially if you get the matrix m9 bayonet, it looks awesome!

Over all this is a GREAT gun for starters. If you are a starter and looking for a good bang for your buck like i was, stop looking and get this !
by Gabriel G. on 01/14/2014
"great gun has amazing range and good fps i love the look!

PROS: shoots fast (i use 11 volt battery so im not sure about 9.6v)
amazing look!
a death machine with a hi cap or large mag
good hitting
really good range and fps

CONS: plastic feel but its fine really
doesnt have detachable rail


other than those two things this gun is super sexyyyyy great gun
