JG Full Metal M16-VN Vietnam Airsoft AEG Rifle

"I got this yesterday and was able to use it today it has very good range, lightweight but not to light with very good weight distribution, super accurate, feels sturdy, was shooting 420 fps out of the box. This was all with a 9.6v and .20g if you were wondering. It shoots a little slow but I like it the full auto still for sure gets the job done when needed, the stock felt slightly wobbly same with the outer barrel, but Its almost unnoticeable, the hi cap magazine it comes with broke from the first 20 rounds but I don’t see anyone carrying one 100 round hi cap mag. Overall this gun is very good most of the other reviews have pointed towards longevity that is something I will have to find out but from my experience it gets a 10/10

"This shit is amazing. Starts off shooting kinda slow I recommend using 9.6v battery and swapping motor. But even without doing all that its a good gun

"I love this M16. I recently got into playing airsoft as a USGI “Grunt” and my first option was this JG M16. I was concerned about quality standards because it was on the lower end of pricing for an AEG, but I have to say you get a lot more than what you pay for. The gun is sturdy, I can sling it around, drop it, crawl with it, fall on it, and not worry. It never jams, and it handles a LiPo battery no problem. The attention to detail is great, and I am overall very impressed with it. I did not expect to get such a quality AEG at such a low price. I get many compliments about how historically accurate it looks and many more compliments about the build quality. I will be looking into JG products for my future airsoft purchases.

"JG has stepped up their game with these rifles, let me just say. I've wanted an m16 for years and I'm so glad I went with this one. Best gun I've purchased so far, that being said it wasn't perfect out of the box but still impressive for a JG.

So I got it intending to build the gearbox but it ran so well I let it go for a week before the bevel to pinion noise finally got to me. That was the only gear that needed shimmed actually, the rest of the box was fine. Heres some of the internals that surprised me-

-had 8mm bearings, not great but seem
decent.

-metal piston head

-aluminum cylinder head

-poly o-ring nozzle (perfect seal)

-Half metal rack poly piston, tough.

-Metal spring guide, not bearing but does move like one.

-M120ish spring, high quality.

-JG Blue motor. 28tpa w/ neo magnets, TOUGH MOTOR

-Cylinder could have been ported a bit further back since it's a 509 mm barrel but it was alright.

-70° hard bucking (or close to)

If it had better bevel to pinion meshing I wouldn't have opened it honestly. Now on to the externals and small things that bothered me while building this aeg.

-one piece metal outer barrel, front post sight actually threads on/off for other barrel options which is cool, but no slot for front wiring which was a downside for me.

-full stock is solid but a pain to remove according to most. Actually it's a 2 piece half stock, typical JG fasion. It splits down the middle and then comes off, revealing an Allen/hex key head at the receiver. You don't need a 10in Allen key like most say.

-working mock bolt catch. pull the charging handle and the mock bolt sticks back,(revealing the hop up adjust so you don't have to hold the handle, nice addition) just press the bolt release to let it go.wont work if you decide to front wire your aeg, I found out the wires block the release from working properly. Stock it's really cool to use though.

So the ONLY negative about this would be the outer barrel. It's great in stock form but I wanted an MOE handgaurd and I guess the distance between the post and Delta is shorter for the tri handgaurd. it took a day or two of spacers and shims to get my MOE to fit snug. Unlrelated but not really, as I said the outer barrel has no front wire slot so I had to build a new one from spare parts to get wires to the MOE. Luckily the post sight screws on/off and it doesn't look like I'm using a janky outer barrel.

All around I'm very surprised how well JG is building these guns. Very much worth the price tag and I don't say that often. This thing is better than alot of m16s out there and it's under $200, If you want one grab this. Won't be disappointed.

"I got this gun about a week ago and I love it. The only problem I have with it is that the Stock is a bit wobbly when it showed up. The thing that I don't like about this gun is that it says on here that you need a 9.6v battery but in the gun manual it states that you need a 8.4v, witch is true. If you use a 9.6 the gun will work only for 1min tops then cease all functions. If you use the 8.4 your golden. Other then that the guns perfect.

"Great gun just keeps going !

"Great AEG for the price...Looks pretty close to the real deal M16A1 used in Vietnam, there are a few things here and there thats different to the real M16A1. It feels durable and is made out of Metal and ABS Plastic, Its got a nice battery compartment. I like the working bolt catch, Most importantly it shoots nice and smooth and feeds VERY WELL. I like the matte black finish. I highly recommend it. The only issue is very minor--the front iron sights middle bar is a little short but you can raise it up or replace it. GREAT AIRSOFT GUN!!!

"Talk about a tack driver! This rifle is accurate out to 50yards and beyond, I've had no maintenance issues what so ever.

Pros: extremely accurate
Extremely well made
Large battery compartment
Comfortable to hold
Heavy
Great hopup (I see no need to upgrade in the near future)

Cons: light handguard wobble
Slight magazine wobble
Lower receiver isnt completely accurate to an a1 m16

Overall amazing weapon that I would personally recommend to anyone

"PROS:
this is a very good gun, the weight is realistic The working bolt catch adds a lot of realism , I really like the tree prong flash hider , there is a bunch of space for battery in the massive stock the hadguard is very cool , the trigger response is good

CONS: The plastic of the handguard and stock have a good finish but it gets scratched very easily, the pins are very hard to get out the few times.
sometimes the gun will double feed (shoot two bbs at the same time) when in full auto ,
the gun could have way more range but the hop up makes the bb drop
it is hard to carry in bags becouse is so long
The front sight is very short ( the lil stick in the front is not tall enough) so is very hard to aim

"This is a very nice weapon, build seems to be solid. Its a nice piece to display or shoot . The hop up unit probably should be upgraded straight away but other than that its a pretty decent gun, and yes, the bolt catch IS funcitional.....nice touch!

"I bought this trying to do a Vietnam style load out because i had inherited some gear from my family. I have to say this is an awesome rifle, accurate for a good distance if you sight it in properly and with a look that inspires awe in teammates and fear in opponents.I have been complemented by many people at my home field. I have not upgraded this rifle at all and still it functions fine. The only problems i have had are: if the battery is not fully charged the range and performance of the rifle somewhat decrease, and the grip apparently has a magnetic element in it so when i passed the magazine (which had a metal case and some metal internal components) the springs operating it popped out of place and i could not, even after disassembling it, fix it. I recommend to all those wanting to buy this to buy the metal flash hider ( don't be stupid and flash it around in public with out the orange or you might be shot) because you have a greater chance of being seen with it, and buy a smart charger if you don't have access to one already to properly charge your batteries.

"Bought it in February 2016, out of the box it was accurate and shot really well! Would definitely buy another one, handguard wasn't as good as I thought it would be but was still really durable!

"I bought this gun in February of 2015 along with a 5 pack of the 180 round mags and 2 400 round mags. I have used a 9.6v 1600mah battery in it since the day I got it. I have only ever had one problem with it and that would be the stock. After running around with it and playing all day, after about a week of having it, the stock became REALLY lose and almost fell off. Yeah sure, no problem. Just tighten it back up and good to go, right? Nope. There's an Allen screw waayyy in the back of the stock, which takes a 10" Allen to reach. Total pain. But after tightening it up, I never once had another problem with it. The gun is built to last. It's entirely metal and can take some punishment. Even the plastic is as durable as the rest of the gun. Internals are good. I haven't touched them at all. It's entirely stock still because I never felt the need to upgrade it. It can reach out and pat someone on the back from 150' away easy. I have nothing but good things to say about this gun, besides that stock issue. Overall, I highly recommend this to anyone. No matter a beginner, or veteran airsofter. I wish I could tell you how upgrading it is, but I never needed to.

Pros
It never wants to quit working, it just keeps going
Feels great in your hands. Feels even better when shouldered
Light, but not too light. Perfectly balanced too
ROF is great with 9.6v
Has that 'Nam look and vibe
Affordable and dependable
Accurate. Amazing for outdoor play

Cons
That freaking god-awful orange tip. Had to take a heat gun to it and melt it off to put my metal 3 prong flash hider on. Not even a Ka-Bar could hack if off.
Hop-up does kinda suck.
Isn't entirely an M16A1. It's got quite a bit of A2 in there. But I didn't get it for the historical accuracy.
The buttstock on it. Was an easy fix for me though.

I plan on keeping this gun forever. If you are thinking about buying this gun, just do it. You will not be disappointed.

"This is a great gun. Very sturdy and lightweight. This is a great gun for the price and a Vietnam M16A1 as well! Highly Recommend!!!
