G&G Combat Machine CM16 SRXL Airsoft M4 AEG Rifle with Keymod Rail - 12" (Package: Black / Add 9.6 Butterfly Battery + Smart Charger)

"Unique, customizable, robust.

TL/DR: Durability: 5/5 | ROF: 4/5 | All the other stuff: 4/5

Durability: I have had this gun for 5 years now. I have put 10's of thousands of rounds through it with bare minimum maintenance. It has been dropped on concrete, in water, in mud and has never had an issue. I have run through doors only to find it was wider than the door more times than I care to admit. I have essentially tried to break this thing and it refuses to quit.

ROF: It chronos with .2 at 398 FPS. It makes me nervous every single time I go to the field because at 400-FPS (no tolerance type policy) I will be banned from using it for the day. Accuracy leaves some to be desired and the hopup is more difficult than other AEG's I've experienced but nothing too bad. It does only have about 18-RPS which is, I believe, its only flaw. It also sounds very much like an electric gun. I can't hear anything over the motor.

All the other stuff: Gearbox is not fun to mess with, I had some experience before this but this one gave me ISSUES. nothing specific to write about other than reshimming/rebuilding usually takes me half an hour in others but this one took 2 hours solely due to the spring. / customizable stuff: the orange tip is easy enough to break off (heat the glue and drill out the pin) just be patient. Under is a -14mm thread. handguard is standard so if you don't like the keymod you can replace it. crane stock is also semi-universal just make sure you get one that can hold the butterfly batteries. it does REQUIRE a LiPo battery otherwise you're only gonna get about 50% of its power.

All in all, if this is at the top of your budget you will not be disappointed with it. Sure there are better guns but you're gonna spend a few hundred more before you find something much better.

"I love this gun, it was my second m4 i ever got and its good( its a great starter gun for sure) my only problem i had which may be just me but at first when i was using the g&g 120 round mid caps they would get stuck inside the mag well and i had to use a decent amount of force to get it out nothing broke or anything but it’s perfectly fine now.

Pros:
Sexy
Shoots pretty sweet( mine was about 385)
Comfy stock
Hi cap that comes with it is comfy as well
Lipo ready
Cons: keymod( may just be me idk)
The barrel can wobble a bit if you push down on it
Not a fan of the flash hider but you can take off


Overall 9/10 for me i am upgrading my precious baby now:)

"I hot the Red edition out of a mystery box and man do I love the gun. I've made mine into a LMG with a duel drum mag and a keymod bipod and its been 3 months and its been a blast with this gun

"Pros:

ultra fast trigger response
built in mosfet
very durable
looks sexy with 2 tone colors (with more to choose from)
enemies will hate this thing once shot
excellent hop up
BEAUTIFUL iron sights
can be programmed to fire on BURST
perfect choice for cqb and long range
perfect choice as a back up or primary
can be easily converted to hpa
super comfortable

Cons

stock cannot fit ALL types of batteries
FPS is shorter with heavier BBs
requires attachments MADE FOR KEYMOD rails
takes some time to properly adjust the hop up

THIS REQUIRES AN 11.1V LIPO/LI ION with TAMIYA connector for best performance

"If you're thinking about getting this as your first gun please do!!! I bought this gun over 3 years ago I have nothing but good things to say about this gun! I use my combat machine indoors and outdoors it works great for both situations. Outdoors this gun has decent range and high accuracy indoors the lightweight build allows for great mobility throughout the field of play.

Pros
Extremely accurate
Light weight
Very reliable
Three round burst

Cons
Keymod rail
could use a little more range outdoors
stock needs to be bigger
Orange tip is non removable

Things to consider-I would purchase a new stock, new inner barrel, hop up, and bucking

Overall this gun is amazing I would recommend it to anybody thats serious about starting to play airsoft.

"Had this since it came out in 2015, didn't put any upgrades at all!

Still shoots like a beast till this day, definitely recommend this, you will not be disappointed!

"This gun is the bees knees I love it. Got an Angel custom drum mag and a few extra goodies for the great looking and easy to use Key Mod system. The electric trigger allows you to shoot soooo smooth and responsive. I was on target at 65 Yards with no issue when using high grade .25 BBs. Hop up was perfect out of the box and everything was lubed to spec. The single point sling mount on the buffer tube is super convenient. Slap on a Acetech BT tracer unit and go ham. I would strongly recommend a 11.1 LiPo and good quality BBs. All in all it is a G&G at the end of the day and for the price they went above and beyond. I just ordered the Firehawk as my short gun for CQB can not wait to see where this gun takes me and strongly suggest it to new and experienced players.

"this is an amazing gun its pretty accurate and powerful and very light. I highly recommend this gun!

"After seeing many of the reviews for this gun, I see that quite a few people have been having a similar issue that I had as well. When it first arrived, it didn't shoot well. It would cycle, but nothing would come out for a few shots, then it would release all the 'fired' BBs at once, kinda like a grenade launcher. After opening it up; I took out the bucking, worked it with my fingers and added a small amount of lubricant. Now it shoots fine, especially now that I run an 11.1v lipo. I attached a red dot sight, a lens protector, a large mock suppressor, and a jury rigged Masterkey to mine and it is the most versatile meme I have made yet. (To all airsoft MacGyvers out there... epoxy is your friend)
Overall, the gun is extremely good. Durable, light, fast shooting, and relatively accurate. The trigger response is amazing due to the electronic trigger. The only issue I observed was the incredibly stiff bucking that prevented the gun from firing when it first arrived months ago.

"This is an amazing gun right out of the box. It is really fun and it is amazing for the price, it is also very light, mobile and amazing to carry. My SRXL came with a hop-up malfunction and the gearbox stripped after a few weeks. I most likely received a defective unit and later sent it in for repairs. Don't let that discourage you, this gun is spectacular and a must have. It also performs like a beast with with a flat hopped ProWin hop up unit and a lipo.

"Everything about this gun is great. The only problem I've had was when I got it at Ironhorse the store recommended a 9.6 butterfly which turned out to be a waste of money. I went back out on the field and right when we made contact it stopped shooting after about 10 shots. This is because you have to run a lipo and if you don't then it will stop shooting even though your battery is still at 75% or more. So long story short don't get the battery package with this gun because it's just not reliable with a 9.6. The only upgrades I have done to it is put in a tightbore, new bucking, and a H-hop. These upgrades make it shoot laser beams. I highly recommend this gun to anyone who is looking for a gun that will run strong over the course of years without gearbox upgrades.

"It Truly is an amazing rifle! I bought this thing the week after the fourth of July, I've put about 15,000 rounds through it and have only had one issue, G&G put a bad bucking in (at least in mine the guy at the store said its like a 1/500 thing) but it was an easy fix I got a 5 dollar maple leaf bucking and it now shoots great). I want to say the BEST thing about this gun is its trigger response it comes with the shortest pull trigger of any gun I've ever shot and allows me to shoot a fast as i can pull the trigger. Cant wait to plop an hpa system in and see where this gun takes me!

Pros:
Fast trigger.
Light weight.
easy customizability.
looks Bad@ss.

Cons:
very small stock wobble (it may just mean I need to tighten the buffer tube).
Bucking lottery.

"This gun is amazing. It is very accurate.

"*waited a couple months to review this gun*

This gun is AMAZING. I absolutely love this thing. I wanted something with a good FPS out of the box and that's exactly what I got. I chrono'd this gun at 380-390 FPS and a little over 15 RPS (with 9.6v). Gun is super accurate. I did but a red dot on it. Occasionally the gun will stop firing but it could be the battery getting low. Not sure. Only happened to me twice in 3-4 months. Keymod rail system is sick looking and easy to put rails on wherever you want!!! ALSO this gun has a MOSFET which is super AWESOME. Programmable for three shot burst (hold down trigger on semi auto for 10 seconds, to cut it on and off). Also lipo ready for you lipo users! So far it's been very reliable

Pros
FPS
ROF
MOSFET
Keymod
Tan looks awesome
Super accurate
Sounds awesome
Full auto is nice sounding
Come with hi cap mag w/ rubberized finger imprints
Never misfeeds
Hop up is reliable stock
Reliable gun

Con
Occasionally the gun will stop firing (could be due to a low battery, or bad connection)
Tight battery compartment (probably due to mosfet)
Stock got wobbly after a couple games (super easy fix)
-the outer barrel of the gun will hit the keymod (fixed with a zip tie)(videos of that on YouTube if you wanna know what i'm talking about)

All and all this gun is amazing. All the cons are minor. Very happy I ordered this gun.
