"PLEASE HEAD MY WARNING!!!
I bought this gun because of all the positive reviews and people saying that "It's such a good beginner gun." Turns out it's a Chinese knockoff that loves to break. It has a terrible internal battery design that's given me nothing but problems.
Pros:
-Good, sturdy plastic
-Tight spread, good fire rate (chrono'd it at 350-370 with .25's)
-Decent gearbox
Cons:
Major Issues:
-Horrible, terrible internal stock design. The biggest issue with this gun by far is the shoddy electrical connections between the gearbox and the battery. I had to open the gun on 4 separate conditions to re-tape the connections. As I played, the giant battery would shake around and knock the wiring loose. I finally cut the connectors (and with the help of a friend) soldered the damn things together.
-Very long bolt that runs the length of the stock wobbles. It's a constant pain and is really the only thing keeping the stock attached to the main body of the gun.
Minor, Issues:
-The sling mounts on my gun are very loose and make a clanking noise when running. Can be fixed with a little tape.
-Inner barrel curve. I have a constant right curve on my gun. I took it apart and re-aligned the gearbox. That seemed to fix most of the problem, but it still hooks ever so slightly to the right.
-Battery that comes with the gun is obviously terrible. Cheap, Chinese ni-cad. It lasted for a while but I would highly recommend investing in a new battery and smart charger.
-Wobbly plastic rail on the bottom of the barrel. Any foregrips attached will wobble as well.
Overall please just stay away from this gun. There's so many other options out there. I know for sure that my specific gun wasn't all at fault. These design flaws will be in ALL the M16's. It's not all terrible, but definitely not the ideal beginner gun.
