BT-16A1 Full-Size Airsoft Rifle – Spring-Powered Replica Gun for Tactical Training, Target Practice & MilSim

Rewrite of my original review: I thought this was a great right out of the box, and after 4 months of heavy use, I still love it and will be ordering several more as gifts for each of my nephews. I have had no difficulties in being very accurate (<6 inch spread) at ranges upwards of 25 yards and almost accurate out to about 40 or 45 yards (<12 inch spread), have managed to fire BBs through entire copies of People magazine, and have left several welts on people who don't know how to knock or close the front door. Many of the other reviews have said that this is just cheap Chinese plastic, and this is very true. But if you take proper care of it and are careful, it really is fantastic. I highly recommend some kind of speed loader because the magazine is the weakest link of this rifle, but if you have a bad one, they are easily replaced via Amazon. Reloading the magazine is a little bit awkward the first time you fill it, but once you get used to it, its not that bad at all. No worse than trying to load a real magazine of .223s anyhow, just a lot cheaper, quieter, and not quite as fun as the real deal. This rifle does look fairly close to a real M16/AR-15, but it does have a few flaws. This gun is virtually the exact same length as my compact Stag AR with a barely legal barrel, 2" suppresor, and the 6 position stock extended. The biggest difference is that the solid stock of this one is longer, the barrel length is shorter, and the toy is quite a bit lighter. All in all, I'm dead serious when I say this thing is truly worth every penny I paid for it, and I would very highly recommend this toy to any one of my friends. How else can you go plinking without leaving the luxury of the apartment complex, trailer park, or other municipal and homeowners laws for less than fifty bucks?

This is a great gun, that is of course if you can handle it. A lot of people say this gun breaks easily, or has bad aim, but then again, think of the people who are writing the reviews. Most of them are little kids who don't know what they're doing, and will throw it agains a tree and say it sucks if it breaks. With my experience with this gun, it has had it's flaws, but they're not unfixable. If you jam the mag into the loading chaimber to hard and overloaded, the rubber stopper will dislocate, and you will end up losing your rounds in the barrel, but if this happens, all you need to do is some simple re-assembely, as in put the stopper back into the white chaimber that attaches to the barrel. Another thing that I found was wrong was that it was difficult to sight. Easy fix. Mount a Daisy 4X scope on the side of the ironsight and there you go. Honestly, it's not the gun, it's the user. With the proper amount of care and respect to your gun, it will become a great weapon of choice. Other than those minor problems, I loved this gun, and still do. It's a great beginners gun, and also a great gun for the experienced airsoft players. I hope this review was useful.

Product was delivered in a timely manner. So, that was not an issue. What is an issue are the instructions, which were printed so small, you could barely read them. Most of what was legible was in Chinese. Thank goodness t came assembled! Then there is the quality. It feel very cheaply made. The product description claims it is realistic. On the contrary, it is very toy like. The specs say the eight is the same...no where close. I own an A15(civilian version of the M16) and other than the overall look, it is nothing like the real thing. I loaded up the bbs and it locked up on the second shot. One if the worst item I have ever gotten from Amazon. Fortunately, bought it as a toy at a lower price, so I had low expectations, but not as low as the sent. I would not recommend this to anyone.

Pretty good for the price although after about a month the charging handle broke so I couldn't use it as an airsoft gun. After around 4 months, the stock finally gave out but I definitely recommend if you plan to use it for cosplay

OMG OMG O-M-G THIS GUN ROX EVERYONES SOX! I got home from school and there it wuz! i opened it up and put it togeter first i will say the bad things 1. a little bit hard to assemble i mean if not tht hard if ur a teenager but if ur like 11 years old u might need a parents help! 2. its kinda hard to fill the clip but not impossible 3. THATS ALL! now the good things 1. holds alot of bb's 2. shoot really really hard 3. once u shoot it, it goes straight for a long way. 4. very accurate 5. LOOK VERY VERY REALISTIC 6. its fun to scare people with so overall for this price i say get this gun if u wunna play your opponents and kick their butts then get it. if u wunna have fun get it. and also im 13 and i kno tht those people who say bad stuff about are just really bad aimers and probly have dropped it like 500 times. so just dont drop it or hit it against somthing out of anger and your are good. HAVE FUN! AND I HOPE THIS HELPED YOU!

this gun is great!!it has a few flaws but its still amazing! i got the gun today and people say the plastic is cheap, it isnt cheap. the flaws are: if u cock it and point it to the ground the pellets fall out, the plastic is....well plastic, and its single shot. The good things are that it shoots really hard, pretty accuret, hods lots of pellets, looks real, and is just fun! i recamend it to anyone!!!

As a note, I refinish these weapons as props for film/television work. In this price range I am looking for something that will pass as the real thing in medium and long range shots. That said, the details on this are excellent, and it can be used even for fairly close shots. Minimal touch ups were needed to make it look like an authentic weapon. I'm fairly certain the mold was cast from an actual weapon. Even the magazine is perfectly sized (a usual flaw with replicas that fire BBs, the magazine is sized too small and needs to be replaced or altered in order to make an accurate prop- not needed in this case.) Also, the plastic has a small amount of tooth to it, which makes it hold spray paint nicely with little prep work. ONE NOTE: The description says this is an M16A2. Actually, it is an M16A1 (which is what is in the picture, just the label on the box and here is inaccurate.) . If you want the M16A2 replica, then order the M16A1 from the same company. But that small detail in no way diminishes what a fine replica this is.

Well, I found this looking for an electric gun, and the description says nothing about it being spring, so I thought'd I'd try it out. Alas, it's a piece of crap, shoots slow, the stock is no stuck on it, and it just feels cheaply made. So, if I can get this stock off then i'm going to return it. Otherwise ya know, i'ma give it to someone or just break it... I don't know yet.
