"recieved my we tech m4cqbr almost 2 weeks ago. I installed a ra tech aluminum magnetic locking nozzle and BOY does it work great. Also added a maple leaf autobot bucking and installed a BCM mod 3 real steel pistol grip (also on evike) and I'm in love _3
Right now I dont own a chrono, but she pierces the bottom AND top of cans w/ .25g bbs. Probably shoots hot but the nozzle has full adjustability for fps control and gas regulation so I'm not worried about field limits!
No aeg can ever come close to a gbbrs weapon manipulation simulation mechanics!
The only plastic part this gun comes with is the stock nozzle. With the upgraded aluminum nozzle this platform is as sturdy as ever. Dare I say, indestructible!
(Do remember to get trained on gbbr maintenance, the biggest flaw of the GBBR platforms is the USER! KNOW YOUR GUN)
In conclusion, this m4 is so baller, if uncle sam sends another COVID check you can bet I'm buying another. No hesitation. Absolutely recommend, especially if you get the magnetic locking aluminum nozzle. I'd bet you would break before this rifle does.
Only con I can think of is, the stock a2 grip and LE stock are garbage get rid of them. Oh yeah, the bolt catch will grind itself down due to friction almost guaranteed. It's just physics.
Lastly, a tip, use SILICONE based GREASE (or dielectric grease) on rubber seals under the valves and magazine body screws. You will NEVER have leaks if properly lubed.
That's all I got. Cant wait to pick up another!

"Kicks great and shoots straight, out of the box it had wayyyy too much hop up, and hop up is a little hard to adjust but I managed to get it shooting straight. Incredibly loud and the orange is hard to take off to add a suppressor (melt it). All in all, it is a great GBBR. (a lil heavy)

"Hey Guys If Yall Are Thinking Of A Training Rifle That Works Like The Real One Get This !!!! Whatever Your Reason ... Get This Gun !!!!! +If You Guys Keep The Nozzle Assembly Lubed & The Other Key Parts Lubed You Can Expect It To Run For 4-5 Years Maybe More I Have Had Mine Since 2010 And Only Replace A Nozzle Assembly In 2012 Which Is Easy !!!!! Still Running Just Fine !!!!!

"I'll have to give this one a 5 out of 5. Best gun I've ever owned and here's the little secret... I take care of it. As long as you properly lubricate the gun and clean it after EVERY game like you should for a real firearm, you wont run into many problems. You will however break nozzles after a while (easy fix). Since this was my first GBBR it's been trial and error with proper maintenence but I found the right balance of lubricant. Make sure you use silicone grease not oil (makes O rings seal better and wont wash out or dry up unlike oil). Also, make sure you clean out the old lubricant before adding more as overlubricating the gun is NEVER good. Upgrades are limitless with this kind of airsoft gun unlike some AEGs. Upgrades are also not hard to install, there's a huge amount of videos that you can find on youtube to help you out. Shoots a little hot for indoor so you might want to install an NPAS to get the FPS down. Get the RA Tech one as it's really easy to adjust. Installation is not hard to do but be prepared to fight the Bolt Carrier pin because it's stuck in there well (I had to use a hammer to get it out). Can't get enough of the instant trigger response that the GBB has and the flexibility of the gun. Upgrading this gun further than that is not actually necissary but fun to do, it preforms quite well stock. Really not enough I can say about this gun, love it. Just live by this, what you put into your gun is what you're going to get back out of it. Clean it and maintain it properly and it'll work like a dream. Also if something breaks on you which happens on all guns, there's a whole host of replacement parts available on evike for a steal.

"Just got this gun and it is awesome. The magazine it came with works very well. When I went out and used it the first day it was only 22 degrees and it still worked tremendously.
Pros:
Recoil feels cool
Lots of power (could be a con)
Full metal
Looks great
Con:
The BB's roll out of the barrel when tilted down because of the hopup
The whole hopup design is really weird and extremely difficult to adjust
The only regret I have is that I bought just a few days before they dropped the price $30. This lower price makes it an awesome deal, buy it now!

"This is my first GBB rifle i've purchased, and i am quite impressed. The gun needs to be oiled prior to use and after each day of use plus cleaned constantly. Wouldn't hurt to add some oil to the internals even in the middle of a match.
Pros:
Very realistic
excellent weight and quality
decent blow back, almost comparable to a .22 short round
Breaks down like a real M4
Have to clean regularly (most would add this as a Con, i like the realism)
After the mag was broken in, i am able to get aprox 3 full mags outta of one gas fill
Cons:
After you fire full auto, it gets quite cold and "cranky". Looses performance, you are better off firing semi and just pulling the trigger fast. (for me i prefer semi anyways)
Keep in mind that you have to basically break the gun in like you would a real M4/AR. The more i use it the better it performs.

"out of my 6 rifles this has to be my favorite ,got my co2 mags today and was very happy with the performance and accuracy of this rifle very realistic so I don't feel like a kid using it.. and the blow back is great,highly recommended as a must have.. but get a couple extra mags.
by Brian C. on 04/22/2013
"Of the 6 WE rifles I own this is by far my favorite. Having 3 M-series made in 3 different years i can tell you for a fact WEs are getting much better in their quality, none of my rifles are bad by any means but this one is much better than older models. Combined with the new gen2 mags makes for a great platform. Very gas efficient and fiarly accurate stock. Combined with a battle grip and madbull 10" rail it makes a nice MK18 for cqc. Chronos about 380 @ 65 degrees. So far after almost 1000rnds the hammer looks brand new (granted Ive only had 1 fail) so the trigger mech seems better than the older models. A new barrel and bucking would go a long way but you can skirmish it outa the box (with enough mags) without issue. All in all a very good rifle for a good price and I highly recommend it.

"THIS THING IS RIDICULOUS. I JUST GOT MINE TODAY AND MUST SAY I WAS SURPRISED BY THE RECOIL THIS THING HAS. ITS ONE THING TO SEE THESE THINGS ON WEB VIDEOS BUT WHEN YOU ACTUALLY GET YOUR HANDS ON IT, NOTHING ELSE SEEMS TO COMPARE. WHICH BRINGS ME TO THE ONLY NEGATIVE THING ABOUT IT IS THE FACT THAT WHEN YOU PUT A FEW ROUNDS THREW IT, YOU CANT REALLY GO BACK TO AN AEG.

"Best airsoft Rifle i ever bought so far and this my 6th gun. I got a bunch of AEGs no comparison to this. The blow back feature is only and the best in market. i did a few upgrade to it my chrono at 450 to 480 fps. I can't keep my hand of this gun. Is a must get if you have the cash for it.

"This rifle is crazy! If you ever fired a full auto M4, this is as close as it gets. (I am referring to real steel here)
The blowback is so realistic I believe this is a better military training weapon than anything else!

"Over all a very average gun. This was My first GBBR and I was super excited when I got I was very impressed by the quality and how it functioned my brother has real AR-15 rifles and we compare them to this gun found that they function almost the same. But I used it for about 4 weeks and took great care of it and after four weeks the trigger sear striped and then the gun would double fire on semi-auto and on full auto the only way you could control it is by switching fire modes.
Pros:
very well made and durable
looks and feels amazing
shot strait and hard
Cons
Internal parts could be better made
mags are SUPER expensive
Gun is heavy due to being made fully of metal but that could be a pro
overall I am giving this a rating of 4 out of five
