KWA M16s

Nov 11, 2008 6:56am
Anyone have any experience with one? Are they worth the money and are they reliable?

Yes

yes. My brother has one and we play at a local no limit fps field. Out of the box, we chrono'd it at 435, and it hit about 440 with .20s Has very good range and the gun is rock solid. Both the m16 and m4 (which i have) are solid weapons. One complaint i have about them however is the hop up. not very consistent. I've heard this from some reviews. Shouldn't be an issue though. All things considered, it is a non-issue. But definitely worth your money.

The hop up units on KWA's are fine. The inner barrel though, should be replaced with a KM or other tightbore.

Only other complaint I have about the KWA rifles is the fact that all of my S-Arms mags don't fit, bummer dude.

They can be made to fit with a file. There is a 'rib' going along the backside of the magwell that doesn't exist in other brand metal receivers. Remove that and they should fit fine.

ALL of them? one of the new ones I bought months ago and a few of mikes didn't fit that great. I ended up removing a lot of the paint on the mags and now they are drop free.

I shaved the plastic down around the top of the mags they fit pretty good now, one of them is still too tight for comfort but I'll figure it out
