JG M16 VN | FREE Delivery over €50 (ROI)

In airsoft, the mainstay (and industry favourite) is the humble AEG. Battery powered replicas, offering superb value, and unmatched practicality. AEG stands for "Automatic Electric Gun", and it really is a case of "What it says on the Tin" - they have an internal gearbox, and motor, and when you pull the trigger the battery spins the motor, allowing the replica to fire. Granted, that doesn't sound terribly exciting, however in reality, it means every time you pull the trigger, your gun fires, and you can get an impressive rate of fire (more BB's down range faster).

Internally, most components of an AEG can be tweaked/upgraded, so you can tinker and customise your replica to suit how you play. Whether you want a faster rate of fire, more responsive trigger, or increase the range & accuracy, with an AEG the world is your oyster. Due to their mechanism, they are quieter than their gas/Co2 counterparts, so you can stay hidden for longer (or if shooting targets out the back, the sound is less likely to irritate the neighbours).

Jing Gong (also known as JG, JG Works, Golden Bow, Golden Eagle, Fuxing etc.), are one of the leading Chinese manufacturers of airsoft products. One of the original cloners (a company that copies an existing design, producing it for significantly lower cost), JG became the defacto standard in airsoft because of their proliferation, and sheer reliability. Producing AEG's for decades, with models such as the M4/M16, AK, SIG, G3, G36, AK, MP5, Steyr AUG, and many more, they have innovated and carved a niche for themselves, occupying some of the best value for money that you can get.

Fuxing/JG/Golden Eagle also produces a wide range of parts from their factory, both internal and external, allowing you to more easily repair and upgrade your replica, or simply to customise it to your heart's content.

Although the M4 is often considered the most recognisable gun in airsoft, its ancestor is no spring chicken - finding fame in the Vietnam war, this iconic rifle is instantly recognisable, and its legacy is still alive and well today.

Manufactured by Jing Gong, this replica of the Vietnam era M16 is exceptional - its sportsline body is constructed out of plastic to help keep the weight down, however it does not compromise on performance. You have the iconic triangular handguard, integrated (non-removable) carry handle, and composite solid stock. It is compatible with standard 5.56 STANAG magazines suitable for M4's, and comes with a VN style high capacity mag.

Internally you have a Version 2 gearbox, complete with metal gears, polycarbonate piston, and metal gearbox shell. It is built for reliability, and is a superb base for durability. The hop up chamber is the traditional cog-based design, offering a great range of adjustment. The inner barrel is 509mm long, and 6.08mm wide, giving you reasonable consistency at range.

One of the most practical elements of the M16 design for airsoft is the generous battery storage - wired to the rear, the solid stock can fit almost any battery. The included 8.4v NiMh mini fits comfortably, and is easy to put in thanks to the fast access design.
