Umarex Licensed H&K 416 A5 AEG w/ Avalon Gearbox by VFC (Model: Black / Gun Only)

"Hi, so I purchased this on the last week of February. I ran 800 bb's through the replica. It was kicking out .32g bb's 325 fps@ 1.57 joules even with being "broken in". I replaced the spring with a M110 and now it is kicking out .32g 283 fps @ 1.19 joule. I have broken two "cheaper" rifles trying to learn the craft of airsoft repair. I am very happy with the performance of this Umarex 416. It is a very well built replica.

"Wanna make this quick.
Pros: Shoots great, accurate
You get what you paid for
Cons: moter gets hot after a long time of using, (using an 11.4v titan.)
The bolt holding the spring in place broke randomly while shooting one day. Easy fix however it cost me 30 bucks.

"This is the biggest airsoft purchase I have made and I do not regret it.

I run a stick 11.1v 1200mAh LiPo with it because a battery longer than like 140mm will have a harder time fitting in the buffer tube. The trigger response is crisp and gets the shot off nicely.

For range, the 416 can easily go past 150ft with 0.3g BBs and I haven't gotten the chance to go beyond that yet. I'm sure you can trust the other reviews stating even 200ft stock though. It shoots a little hot starting off but settles to the 400-410 fps range with 0.2g.

I run PTS EPM1s with the rifle and it is a very tight fit. They feed very well, even with full auto. However, one of my mags may occasionally suffer from midcap syndrome and causes the BB to fall short-likely because I haven't fully broken them in yet.

The only problematic part of is the flashhider. I had to use a hair dryer to heat the tip for a couple minutes before using a small Allen key to remove the screw. Then I had to twist off the tip with a clamp in small intervals between heating (righty-loosy).

In all, you're paying a decent premium for the rifle but you definitely get what you paid for. If you're narcissistic, you'll love this rifle for how it looks and the compliments you get every game. You and the people you play with will love it.
