## Description

desertcart.com A 1:1 scale replica of an M-16A1 rifle, this airsoft rifle is remarkably authentic. The airsoft rifle fires round pellets known as BBs, which are propelled out of the gun by compressed air. The advantage of the airsoft rifle, however, is that players can safely train, simulate, or play with the gun without fearing serious injury. The airsoft rifle looks, feels, weighs, and functions just like a real firearm, but is built for casual recreation rather than weaponized use. In fact, the only way you can typically tell a real-steel firearm from an airsoft rifle is the blazing orange tip and the BBs that fire when you pull the trigger. The rifle comes complete with 1,000 BBs, safety goggles, a rifle strap, and a BB quick-loading tube. Specifications:Velocity: Approximately 290 fps with 0.12-gram BBs, 240 fps with 0.2-gram BBs Range: 130 feet effective, 160 feet maximum Capacity: 65 rounds Barrel length: 11-1/2 inches Dimensions: 39 inches long, 10-1/4 inches tall Weight: 3 pounds Product Description Airsoft Rifle A 1:1 scale replica of an M-16A1 rifle, this airsoft rifle is remarkably authentic.

Review: Amazing! - Rewrite of my original review: I thought this was a great right out of the box, and after 4 months of heavy use, I still love it and will be ordering several more as gifts for each of my nephews. I have had no difficulties in being very accurate (<6 inch spread) at ranges upwards of 25 yards and almost accurate out to about 40 or 45 yards (<12 inch spread), have managed to fire BBs through entire copies of People magazine, and have left several welts on people who don't know how to knock or close the front door. Many of the other reviews have said that this is just cheap Chinese plastic, and this is very true. But if you take proper care of it and are careful, it really is fantastic. I highly recommend some kind of speed loader because the magazine is the weakest link of this rifle, but if you have a bad one, they are easily replaced via desertcart. Reloading the magazine is a little bit awkward the first time you fill it, but once you get used to it, its not that bad at all. No worse than trying to load a real magazine of .223s anyhow, just a lot cheaper, quieter, and not quite as fun as the real deal. This rifle does look fairly close to a real M16/AR-15, but it does have a few flaws. This gun is virtually the exact same length as my compact Stag AR with a barely legal barrel, 2" suppresor, and the 6 position stock extended. The biggest difference is that the solid stock of this one is longer, the barrel length is shorter, and the toy is quite a bit lighter. All in all, I'm dead serious when I say this thing is truly worth every penny I paid for it, and I would very highly recommend this toy to any one of my friends. How else can you go plinking without leaving the luxury of the apartment complex, trailer park, or other municipal and homeowners laws for less than fifty bucks?
Review: Great Gun - This is a great gun, that is of course if you can handle it. A lot of people say this gun breaks easily, or has bad aim, but then again, think of the people who are writing the reviews. Most of them are little kids who don't know what they're doing, and will throw it agains a tree and say it sucks if it breaks. With my experience with this gun, it has had it's flaws, but they're not unfixable. If you jam the mag into the loading chaimber to hard and overloaded, the rubber stopper will dislocate, and you will end up losing your rounds in the barrel, but if this happens, all you need to do is some simple re-assembely, as in put the stopper back into the white chaimber that attaches to the barrel. Another thing that I found was wrong was that it was difficult to sight. Easy fix. Mount a Daisy 4X scope on the side of the ironsight and there you go. Honestly, it's not the gun, it's the user. With the proper amount of care and respect to your gun, it will become a great weapon of choice. Other than those minor problems, I loved this gun, and still do. It's a great beginners gun, and also a great gun for the experienced airsoft players. I hope this review was useful.

### ⭐ Not great quality.
*by S***I on October 25, 2013*

Product was delivered in a timely manner. So, that was not an issue. What is an issue are the instructions, which were printed so small, you could barely read them. Most of what was legible was in Chinese. Thank goodness t came assembled! Then there is the quality. It feel very cheaply made. The product description claims it is realistic. On the contrary, it is very toy like. The specs say the eight is the same...no where close. I own an A15(civilian version of the M16) and other than the overall look, it is nothing like the real thing. I loaded up the bbs and it locked up on the second shot. One if the worst item I have ever gotten from Amazon. Fortunately, bought it as a toy at a lower price, so I had low expectations, but not as low as the sent. I would not recommend this to anyone.
