CYMA Sport M16A3 Airsoft AEG Rifle (Package: Add 9.6v NiMH Battery + Charger)

"Picked up this gun a few weeks ago and got some use out of it. For starters, it is a long rifle, but weight is not an issue despite being full metal. Now the reason why I gave it 3 stars ? Out of box performance sucks. Accuracy / groupings are bad, rof is slow, range isnt great. The stock hop up constantly needed to be readjusted. Gun chronoed about 430 fps with. 20g. But for a 130$ metal gun what can you expect. As for externals, so far they handed abuse. My first day bringing this gun to the field i decided to use a duffle bag sling in place of a rifle sling. Huge mistake on my end. I went to sling the gun over my shoulder and the plastic clamp snapped sending the gun flying and landing on concrete. To my surprise nothing broke, not even the plastic stock/handgaurd. Other than that the gun has seen some regular field abuse and is fine. I came off the field that day with mud all over it and never had a hiccup. Currently I have a 6.03 tightbore, lonex hopup and g&g bucking/ nub and it definitely improved it.

All in all would i buy this gun again, no. For the cost thereffective plenty of entry level, polymer m4 aegs that will out perform this gun.

On the other hand if you want a metal body to work with and don't mind upgrades, go at it

Pros
Full metal (everything minus stock and handgaurd) even mag
Durable
Looks cool. A lot of people at the field complimented it
Would make a good build platform
It's a cyma so dispite lack in performance, it will probably last
Lots of battery space

Cons
Slow rof
Bad grouping and accuracy
Horrible hop up
Needs upgrades to be a good gun
Fps is high (may be a plus depending on field rules )
Longer rifle.
Some mags fit real tight, need to be smacked in and pulled (hard) out. Despite this everything I have used has feed.
