"Excellent for the Price"

If you are looking for a cheap spring rifle, then look no further. However, it does have a few problems.
The handguard is kind of wobbly, but I've held AR-15s that were far worse. The accuracy could be a little better, but with the right BBs, it'll do just fine.
It has a good amount of power and it's easy to cock and shoot. I'd buy this gun if it was even twice the price. Get it! 4 stars

"Great cheap springer"

This gun is made by Well and it might not seem like very good quality, but its impressive. The barrel is metal, but only on the inside. It is pretty heavy, not that heavy though. It has a useful sight and it has the ability to flip the sight since their are 2, but i dont see the difference. The "M16A2" (official classification is M16A1, the Well company just calls it A2) shoots very hard, it pierces cardboard from close range and medium range, probably not very accurate too far, but its still pretty accurate and strong. Its full size and weighs about 3 pounds, 38 inches long, 10 inches tall with magazine in. The handguard is Vietnam style which is pretty cool, but it moves a bit, and its hollow and pretty large. The magazine is a bit annoying since if you have BB's in the reservoir compartment (holds a lot) you have to pull the spring down and shake them in. Generally durable, some thick and hollow parts, strong, kind of heavy, large and realistic looking. Comes with strap, screwdriver with screws (to put on the barrel extension) and about 50-100 BB's. Follow instructions to put the rifle together, just look at it, read if you have to. 5 stars

"Scary Weapon, GREAT DEAL! BUY!"

I have mini-airsoft wars with my friend every week or so, and this is by far the scariest weapon. I got hit in the back by it from about 30 ft away, and it stung for about 5 minutes. It honestly hurt very, very bad. An amazingly good deal for such a strong weapon, and it's clip seems to never run out during a war. Reloading (pushing bb's into the slide) takes only about 5 seconds, and is a good starter weapon to have in skirmishes with friends. I have never done an actual war, but I bet this weapon would hold it's ground as a sniper. 5 stars

"I wrote the review called 'Great cheap springer'"

Well I just wanted to update on this gun and keep reviewing. So far the gun still works fine, strap works, easy to take parts like the stock or outer barrel off (DONT TAKE IT APART INSIDE THOUGH, EVERYTHING COULD FALL APART AND POP OUT OF PLACE AND WILL TAKE AHWILE TO GET EVERYTHING BACK IN PLACE, UNLESS YOU NEED TO). I shot myself with it by sticking my hand on the muzzle, yes its stupid... and it HURT! It made me bleed in the inside because it didnt open my skin, i still have some blood in the inside its been about half a week. The accuracy on the gun is flawed. The gun sometimes hops the BB a little (there is no Hop-Up) so it can get the BB to fly higher and farther to match the sight, so it helps SOMETIMES. The M16 is accurate and powerful from to about 50feet and might miss a bit within that range. After 50 feet it may start to curve depending on the circumstances, and then will drop drastically and maximum range it can reach is about 75-90 feet. The lower sight is for closer range and the higher sight is for longer range, its annoying because they flip easily such as when you point the gun down. Nothing has actually broken although the magazine drops out of the gun sometimes, because the release doesn't always secure, but my magazine is still fine. It only holds about 20 in slide, with hundreds inside... It has a cheap plastic look but it doesnt shine to much and its black so it might help at night.

I get some problems with the gun, a small piece of plastic broke off inside of the magazine, but i havent noticed any differences, it works fine. The trigger is very loose (because i opened it up, remember... DONT OPEN IT UP! unless you have to) but when i cock the gun the trigger is fine. 5 stars
