G&P M16A1 VN Airsoft AEG Rifle w/ i5 Gearbox (Package: Gun Only)

"so i recently bought this gun and i found that it is pretty amazing. my initial reaction when opening the box wasn't actually that excited. in fact some things that you should note about the gun is that the hand guards look to be made of cheap plastic or just feel that way. and to remove the battery you need to physically unscrew the butt plate. (also uses large type battery, caught me by surprise) but other than that the gun is amazing. the accuracy is spectacular and the rate of fire is also spectacular. also note that it only comes with one magazine and its not a high cap but i guess that is for realism.

perfect for any Vietnam load out

"third m16 i had so far and best one out of them all looks great with m203 on it

pros;
good fro field and cqb if your good with a long weapon
perfict rof and look

cons;
weird grip for me
cant put red dot on it

couldnt really think of anything off the bat

"For those who want a good report. I ripped open the box and pulled out a well guarded M16 wrapped in bubble wrap. They really do care! Next, so G&P included a 3 lug flashhider with mine! now I was very happy, So I tried to open the bolt...It doesnt stay open. But! The hop up is very easy to hold and adjust so its not bad. Also, the dust cover stays open...I really don't care. There is almost no barrel wobble, unless you really really try to do it and even then its hard. Next, a free 130 midcap VN style. Sights are good you can only adjust left and right. This rifle is very very sturdy! Considering all the crap I put this thing through its unchanged. The Zombie Killer trades are actually pretty nice. The mag release and fire selector make a nice click noise when set into place. You can undermount an M203 with the handguard for it and it makes it look 10x better. You can use a short one but you will need some tape to hold the front in place. Lets see...the stock! Its not abs at all its some nice polymer that refuses to move or break, to get to the battery compartment you unscrew a bolt in the back and pull upwards on the buttplate. The handguard is alright, it may be abs and its very shiny, paint over it with OD or black. But the handguard is comfy. Sling mounts are sturdy, just like everything else. Very nice ROF and FPS while having good accuracy. i do recommend an angel tightbore, they work very well and they are made of steel. Also this gun has a very nice weight to it and a good rugged feel. If this rifle is a starter gun or a project, you cant go wrong with this.

Cons

Slight opening between upper and lower reciever

positive barrel thread...at least they give you a cool flashider!
Doesnt come with battery, just like everything else. I suggest a 8.4 or 9.6
Grip takes some getting used to.
I had to think hard for cons!!!

You will not be dissapointed in this rifle.

"Amazing...this was the first word that came to my mind. Attached with an m203 and inside it a polarstar engine, this rifle is what any person loving a rifle with some history would want to mow down constant enemies. I love it, it's different, and my friend with his systema just stares at me angrily.

Exceptional overall build. Just needs more ammo and a battery.

"Dude, Holy crap... Literally this gun has a Bible verse from Luke. I recieved it today at like 7 pm from evike.com and guess what? It blew me away unboxing it, unfortunately it malfunctioned and it sounds like the cylinder or the piston is busted, maybe just a really bad jam but it doesnt have a unjamming tool and my old one broke. Dont get me wrong, this is by far a quality product mine was just a lemon. Im sure once evike replies to my email the issue will be resolved. Unfortunately I have a game on saturday and my TM M16 VN just crapped out too:(

Build quality 5/5
Preformance 4/5 (It kicked butt even with a 8.4v battery, unfortunately the "epicness" was short lived thus not a 5. Itll be up and going soon and Ill report more)
Aesthetics 6/5 (Its deffinetly unique and the slab sided AR reciever is an eyegasm)
I feel almost like Im holding a real AR but it should have just worked. Oh well thats what the 14 day warranty is for. Bottom line it is a GREAT looking and feeling gun, and I know once it gets fixed it will be a great shooting gun.

P.S. the "Zombie Killer" trades are effin sweet
I really just wish it would have been a better overall experience but alas I still deem it good because Ive held a real A1 at Great Lakes USN Base and lemme tell you this is VERY reminiscent.

"This being a G&P I expected a lot from this gun and rightly so. When I first opened it over a year ago I was very impressed with the build quality. It is a beautiful looking gun. It performance however is where it lacked. First off the butt plate is plastic and is easily broken if not careful and the rubber texture on it is glued on and wears off over time so you'll have to re-glue it every now and then. The first time I skirmished this gun, I thought the accuracy wasn't as good as I thought it should be for an m16 length barrel. Also during that skirmish the piston stripped and had to be replaced. The next time I used it the trigger contacts wore out and had to be replaced. After that, the motor gear wore out and also had to be replaced. After all that I had to put a better barrel in to improve the accuracy. After all of this though, the gun works really well and wears really well since it's full metal. I may have just received a lemon but after all of the kinks were worked out, it's my favorite gun and is used every outing.

Pros:
Build Quality
Weight
ROF
Battery Space
Magazine the gun comes with it great

Cons:
Stock Internals
Butt Plate is cheap plastic
Rubber on the Butt Plate comes off easily

"Overall the rifle is OK. I have 2 major issues with the rifle. First, the batteries run out quickly. I have tried several batteries, some new, some old, and all last about the same amount of time......not long. Secondly, intermittently while shooting the rifle just won't fire, like it has a dead battery. If I swing it 90 degrees down and pull the trigger, it shoots just fine. Raise it again and nothing. Several times this past weekend I ended up getting burned because of this. I'll be taking it apart soon to see what the problem may be and possibly upgrading some stuff. Overall I'd give it a 3. Nothing worse than pulling the trigger while aimed at a bad guy trying to sneak up on your six and...........nothing happens.
