WE-Tech Open Bolt M4-SOL Carbine Airsoft GBB Rifle (Color: Black)

"First impressions: It feels very premium! My front rail is slightly loose but nothing anymore than what you might find on a real firearm. The mag feeds great and holds gas amazingly.

Overall I highly recommend this gun!!!

"I got this gun back in March. I've installed a Maple Leaf Decepticons 70 degree bucking with a Poseidon 6.05mm 363mm inner barrel. This gun rocks with using HPA, the stock bolt, and stock nozzle. I did try the 2015 steel RA-Tech steel bolt and it destroyed my RA-Tech NPAS polymer nozzle. I was afraid to put the stock nozzle in the new steel bolt since it was my only nozzle at the time. I played a full day with HPA and loved it. The kick was fantastic. I didn't have one issue all day using this gun. It was hard to adjust the velocity but once it gets dialed in for your weight bb, it was consistent. I was using a 68ci 4500psi tank and a 6mmproshop 300rd HPA mag. Mag sold here on Evike: https://www.evike.com/products/77776. Read my review on the mag and it will change your mind on HPA and GBBR. It's a shame that these mags aren't available to other GBBR brands. I would love to have a GHK M4 and HPA. However, WE is the only brand with HPA options such as drum mags, hi-cap mags, and HPA adapters to accept standard AEG mags. This is the main reason I bought this brand GBBR M4. I can say I LOVE this gun! I only used the one HPA mag all day and didn't have an issue with needed to reload in a middle of a game. One 300rd HPA mag is like having 10 30rd gas/CO2 mags. Trigger response is incredible over a standard AEG. I'm not putting down any type of an Airsoft gun, but I tried my wife's AEG near the end of the day and you can tell that the GBBR shots the bbs faster then the AEG. Faster meaning the pull of the trigger to the bb flying out of the barrel was almost instant. Back to this model. It is solid and ready right out of the box. I only made changes to mine because that's why I do...lol. Just treat your gun right and it'll do right by you. Just that simple. Clean, lube, and play. Remember, this sport is to have fun and not tear people up with 30+ rps. It's cool to have that but not necessary. Most fields around me only allow semi-auto anyways.

"I thought WE GBBRs were pretty bad until I got this one. They're actually quite good if you know what you're doing and are willing to learn. A lot of the parts inside are aluminum and they will break one way or another so if you want a good reliable gun that won't break for years, get RA-TECH Steel trigger assembly and Bolt Carrier. Don't buy the aluminum nozzle because the nozzle is supposed to be the one taking the beating and not the one doing it. Just get the Angel Custom reinforced polycarbonate one and you're good as long as you take care of the gun.

If you just want to keep it stock then it's still fine for 15-20k shots. If you're using a speedloader remove two bbs from the mag because that will break your nozzle.

10/10 awesome gun for people who like to tinker.

"This is my first gbb and it’s awesome I got 400-350 FPS out of the box but I think I may have been using .25g bbs haven’t had it for very long but I’ve put at least 200 rounds through it and it still works fine. One of my favorite features and this maybe cause I’m new to gas is it comes apart and works just like the real thing I was blown away by that

"Great feel and performance out of the box. For my rifle I decided to add a Magpul angle grip, Moe stock, xtm rail panels and a k grip with a real steel eotech. I took it out to the local field and it performed great until the nozzle blew out. GET THE RA TECH ALUMINUM NOZZLE.
With that said here are some overall pros and cons

PROS:
decent finish
Moderate gas consumption
Mil spec buffer tube
Minimal magazine wobble
Lots of rail space

CONS:
Plastic nozzle will break within a few mags
Pin in the barrel extension means you have to drill it out
You don't have this beast

"Very good gun as soon as i got it i opened it up to see what was inside
My package was slightly damaged but i cant blame Evike for that. This gun is superb. feels nice and looks nice. There are some goods and bads for every gun
Pros:
Looks nice
Heavy (could be a con)
Bolt lock is a cool and realistic feature
Taking it apart is very much like the real steel version
Cons:
Rail systems edge is somewhat sharp (I would wear gloves for these)
There is a part between the upper receiver and rail system where they have a slight dip (My OCD is triggered)
Magazines move a fair bit in the gun

For its looks alone i would say buy it. its the only 416 that wont kill your budget, also i havent fired the gun yet so im not gonna go into too much details there

"I bought this gun back in Oct. 2016. Used it in two airsoft wars (I don't play as often as i'd like) and shot it in the backyard pretty often. It was my first GBB, and still my only GBB so far.

If you just want to see the pros and cons, skip to the bottom.

I absolutely LOVE this thing. When I bought it, it was on sale for 200 bucks, which seeing it going for 330 now, it was a steal. I use propane because it is ALOT cheaper than green gas. I also got an extra magazine because 30 rounds per magazine isn't anything especially when you're using full auto, though two mags still isn't enough.

I really can't say too many bad things about this gun. My biggest issue with it is accuracy. The first time I used it in a battle, we played most of the day, and I don't think I hit anyone with it. The most I did was scare them with how this thing sounds, and how fast the ROF is. My $75 CO2 pistol, and $100 Walmart black ops rifle were way more effective in getting kills. But from reading other reviews, people seem to have been able to make this gun ALOT more reliable with some simple upgrades which I do plan on doing eventually. But I think accuracy is really my only problem with it so far. I used it in another war a few weeks ago and actually got two confirmed hits from a fair distance away, which was great for me considering the luck I had before. The magazines have a switch you can use to turn the lock back function of the bolt on or off when you run out of ammo. This feature no longer works on either of my mags after I took them apart to clean them and wasn't as careful as I should have been. But thankfully, you can buy a little parts kit for the mags for 7 bucks so my mistake won't cost me much when I do decide to fix it. And I think the plastic part of my bolt is cracked. It looks cracked, but I haven't noticed any issues with it so I am not worried about it at this point. And considering you'll want to keep your gun oiled, dirt likes to stick in it if you get some on it, or drop mags in the dirt, drop your gun, etc. So just be careful there. I dropped a magazine into some sand when reloading, which is why I took them apart in the first place, and then had a bunch in the port where the gas comes out, and in the bb chamber. DEFINITELY don't want that in your gun.

SO, here are my Pros and cons.

Pros:
Full metal except for parts of the bolt, but I'm pretty sure that can't be metal.
Very similar to a real gun. (compared it to an AR-15. Basically the same except for the gas part, and the bolt)
Nice recoil
Can be field stripped like the real thing for cleaning
Great FPS (Never chrono'ed mine, but I know its got some power!)
Great noise (in my opinion)
Will strike fear into your opponents eyes (Especially when nobody that you play with has a gas rifle)

Cons:
Accuracy out of the box isn't the best with mine, but it seems to be a common problem.
The paint looks nice, but isn't durable. It will scratch off, especially on the rails when mounting and removing accessories.
My mags no longer lock the bolt back, but that is my fault, and not a direct issue with the gun.
Price. $200 was great for this gun but personally, I wouldn't have considered it at all cause I didn't want to spend over $300 for something I really only use a few times a year. But this is still cheaper than some of the guns out there. (And cheaper than the $375 KJ Works Full metal M4 my friend got, which is also fantastic.)

Overall, I love this gun. I would buy another if they went on sale again, just to have two of them, and to rent out if someone wanted to use it. The pros outweigh the cons in my case. Hopefully yours will be as good as mine is. I clean and oil mine before every war, and periodically oil it during the war. I also make sure to put oil in the propane adaptor to ensure oil goes into the mag when I charge it, since propane doesn't have oil in it like green gas does. I use silicone spray that I bought from an auto parts store. same stuff I got on here, just different brand.

Thanks, and have a blessed day!

"My first airsoft rifle, and its amazing.

You may need to field strip it and clean it up after about 10+ mags. Be sure you have patience, cause learning how to clean this gun is definitely a pain. The magazine and stock is a bit loose, but if you put a piece of duct tape in the magwell and on top of the buffer tube, this gun is amazingly solid. So worth it. Buy it!

"Im very impressed. I got to say my first impressions of it was like it better be everything it says and it is!! And it is and even more than i expected Very nice job to Evike to awesome service and to We Tech! I look forward to buying more from your two companies.

"The gun is ridiculous mine was shooting 480 with .20 bbs.
If you buy this gun you need to run .30 at first. Also it's just fun to shoot.

"I've had this gun for over a year now. It was my first gbbr but I did my research and learned a lot about gas blowbacks, let's just say, this thing is awesome. It kicks hard, yet can go through a clipazine in a couple of seconds. I only use green gas with this and it still packs a punch while being very accurate, I have a 4x32 sight on this and use it as a dmr rifle due to the amount of rounds in each mag. Speaking of mags, the only downside I have with this is the cost of mags, 38$ is a lot and the second one I got blew up in the gun because the valve broke, was a little unhappy about that but the gun was fine.

"I got this gun 2 years ago and it is still firing strong. The kick is a nice thing to feel during a game and it gets a lot of compliments on and off the field. I have customized mine extensively. The gun has a decent range and has an adequate performance right out of the box.

PROS:
strong kick, loud sound
nice weight
durable
realistic, 30 round metal mags, firing function similar or real steal

CONS:
the only thing really is the mags, they are expensive and you only get 30 rounds.

"I bought this rifle around 4 months ago with the intention of running it as a DMR platform. This baby is a beauty, and is right at home floating between DMR and Assault roles. The stock has a little bit of wobble to it, but the rifle as a whole is very comfortable. It fires hard (420+fps right out of the box) and when running .25's or higher, it's nothing short of laser beam accurate out to 200ft.

Pros:
Accurate
Comfortable
Intimidating
Beautiful
Well worth every penny

Cons:
Stock is a bit wobbly (Easy fix)
Orange flash hider is a pain to remove

Like I said earlier, well worth every penny. If this thing has caught your eye, GO FOR IT!!!

"Also, this gun has an incredibley realistic design

"After owning this rifle for about 7 months now, I feel that I can make an honest review. This gun is great out of the box, and with a CO2 magazine it hits like a tank. Great FPS, fairly accurate. The only thing I don't like about this gun is the stock and the iron sights. For me, the iron sights are very difficult to aim with, and the stock is short and somewhat uncomfortable. Also, if you plan to use CO2 mags, don't use Crosman, the canisters are slightly to large and are extremely difficult to get in and out. I recommend daisy.
Pros
Heavy
Durable
Full metal
High FPS
Accurate
Intimidating
Easy to upgrade
Has CO2 mags for people who don't live near a place with green gas(such as me)


Cons
Stock is small
Sights are hard to aim with

All in all, a great gun.
