Description
We Tech M16A3 Open Bolt Full Metal Gas Blowback Airsoft Gbbr Rifle (Black)
-
- Open Bolt System: Unlike older airsoft models with a closed bolt, this features a full-traveling bolt and open-bolt design for more realistic operation and improved cold-weather gas efficiency.
- Full Metal Construction: Features a heavy-duty aluminum upper and lower receiver, as well as a full metal barrel assembly.
- Performance: Shoots in both semi and full-automatic modes at roughly \(410\) to \(480\) FPS with \(0.20\)g BBs, making it highly effective for outdoor skirmishes and target practice.
- Authentic Realism: Includes a functional bolt catch (the bolt locks back on an empty magazine) and an adjustable carrying handle with built-in iron sights.
- Classic Styling: Comes with a fixed polymer stock (which has storage space for tools/batteries) and a classic polymer handguard.
-
- Standard Green Gas (12kg / 150 PSI): Best Overall
-
- This is the standard propellant recommended by Evike and other retailers for standard operational temperatures 60F to 85F.
- It contains premixed silicone oil, which automatically lubricates your rifle’s seals and valves during use.
-
- Propane with an Adapter: Best Budget Choice
-
- Chemically identical to green gas but significantly cheaper when bought as camping propane tanks.
- It lacks built-in lubricants and features a distinct rotten-egg smell. You must manually add silicone oil to the adapter or rifle seals to prevent dry-out.
-
- Red Gas (14kg / 175 PSI) or Black Gas (16kg): Best for Cold Weather
-
- Ideal if you are playing in colder climates 40F to 60F.
- Provides the higher pressure needed to fully cycle the heavy full-metal bolt carrier of the M16A3 when temperatures drop.
-
- Standard Green Gas (12kg / 150 PSI): Best Overall
| Propellant Type | Ideal Temperature | Recoil Snappiness | Maintenance Required | Cost Efficiency |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Green Gas | 60F – 85F | Moderate / Crisp | Low (Self-lubricating) | Moderate |
| Propane | 60F – 85F | Moderate / Crisp | High (Manual lubing) | Excellent |
| Red / Black Gas | 40F – 60F | Very High | Low | Poor |
| CO2 (Specific Mags) | Below 40F | Maximum | Very High (Dry gas) | Poor |
- Avoid Red/Black Gas in Hot Weather: Firing high-pressure red or black gas in temperatures over \(80^{\circ }\text{F}\) can cause the muzzle velocity to exceed safe field limits (\(480+\text{ FPS}\)) and accelerate the wear on the stock zinc-alloy trigger components.
- Magazine Compatibility: Traditional green gas, propane, and red gas can all be filled directly into the standard green gas magazine included with the rifle. If you want to use CO2, you must purchase dedicated WE Open Bolt CO2 Magazines.
- Seal Maintenance: If you choose unlubricated propane, ensure you lubricate the rifle’s nozzle O-ring and magazine seals regularly with a premium synthetic grease like Super Lube.
