Gr16-r5
 

Hey guys, i'm new here but I've been following the forums for a while so I can carry a short conversation about internals and what they do, but I dont know what is better and what isn't, not that much anyhow. Well heres my question..I'm looking forward to buying the gr16-r5 from G&G...i've read a couple reviews...and it seems like this gun has problems in the internals from the very start in some reviews. In other reviews, theres no problems at all except for the hop up. I really need someone to shine some wisdom on this rifle...i know for a fact that this is THE rifle for me...via personal taste and choice...but i need to know if its going to be a hastle from the day i buy the gun? Appreciate all the info =)

may i sagest the ics m16 or m4 the only differance is that the m4 has the barrell step cut for mounting a m203

ICS dosent provde a M16A4 with M5 RAS front end stock...

Thats the thing, I've always loved the M16 and i wanted an m16 with a scope but i didnt like the idea of placing a scope on top of the carry handle..it just looks weird...so i saw the m15a4 rifle with removable carry handle..but the barrel was that of a a regular m16..which was alright, but with the R5 its full ris and I plan to have a flashlight mounted also. I just would like to know if anyone has experience with this gun, if it is reliable..and wont stop shooting on me.

If im not right the ICS M16 A3's carry handle is removable. But I just started looking into get ICS so I could be roung.

if you want.. wait for a month or 2 and i will have mine in my hands by then and i can let you know how it is =)

Thanks nocturnal, I too will be getting my stuff around then because nothing is in stock. Your getting a GR15-R5 also? good choice :D i'll be waiting to hear about it! I emailed airsoftGI...i saw their promotion..G&G GR15-R5 with 8.4v 1700mah battery, 3500 bb's and charger for 549 US. They said all their guns were the second versions...so they must be improved. As for the other posts, the m16a3 doesnt come with ris barrel. Yes the carry handle is removable!

you can't order from airsoftGI, when the gun gets to the customs they will sieze it, only order within canada

If you want to play indoors a G&G will shoot to fast for most clubs. You will have to get a velocity reducer if you want to play indoors. Just something to think about.

Yes i am getting one. i've built one last year when i first started (had a DTP body too!). but i sold it *doh*

anyway, I missed it a lot so I figure I'd buy the G&G GR16-R5 because it's way cheaper than building from scratch.

I will also be getting a G&G GR16-R4 (w/ready-mag system) to feed my hunger for Armalites.

Although, I would like to try the ICS M4 with the split gearbox design =p

Personally, I would not use an M16 for indoors. It is just too long for CQB!
Thats why I have an AEG for field and one for CQB.

I will be using it for outdoors only. So if airsoftGI products will get seized...then what about RedWolf Airsoft..do their products get seized too?? The GR15-R5 is 815 dollars canadian..where as if I get it from the states it will come out to 665 canadian.

It well get seized ANY where if you buy out of Canada!


(Edit)
If you ain't willing to spend the money then airsoft may to be for you.

^^Is this true?

yes

yep.. its sad but true. many people ask "why!.. why!.." and some simply answer, "it will get seized but feel free to try if you like. it is not our money anyway."

many of us order from different canadian retailers or even just off the Buy and Sell forums.

it is your call dude :salute:
