Hey guys!

 

Took my stock WE M16A3 out skirmishing with me today.

 

I was initially using Blaster 0.25g's, and as you recall from my last posts, my gun wasn't applying HOP at the last skirmish.

 

I decided it just needed bedding in - the whole thing seemed to be drenched in grease internally, and bathed in silicone oil in the HOP, I imagine.

 

Much better this time. It was overhopping most shots, but played up until lunchtime with it, to try and further bed the bucking in. Got some nice one-shot kills from a fair range (with a 20 metre M.E.D. remember)

 

This seemed to work, but even though it was only set half on, the HOP still applied itself way too much on the 0.25g's.

 

I then took out some Blaster 'Devils' 0.30g I had lying around spare (they're too light for my Tanaka rifles!!).

 

These work real nice. I set them so that it goes 40 metres dead straight, as normal, and then arcs up a little, and carries on. A slight overhop I guess, but it should produce some really nice range kills (which it indeed did, in the second half of the day!) For the record, the HOP is set just over half on... Maybe 3/4?

 

The majority now go where I want them to, but there is still a fairly high percentage of fliers. Three different types - some shots go low, some go laser straight, and some up and to the right (like a VSR 10). I attribute these to excess silicone in the HOP, and full expect them to disappear once I've put a few more mags through the gun.

 

Incidentally, another flawless skirmish performance from my WE M16A3 in terms of reliability - nothing broken, did exactly what I wanted to, really pleased with it so far!

 

Definitely DMR capable, and that's exactly how I'm using it.

 

Hope this is helpful.

 

Ben.

Oops sorry! Ok will order some and try it. Has anyone got a review on it yet?

 

Edit: how do you guys order from AB? There's no where in the site I can make payment except paying direct from paypal. Problem is I don't know the shipping costs? Those who dealt with AB, what's the procedure like?

I took posession of my WE M16 yesterday and WOW - this thing is insane!! The recoil on CO2 is more than I expected and the rate of fire is just silly fast!! My mate got a CQBR and had a noticably lower rate of fire but stronger recoil. We put this down to mine having a harder recoil spring than his - is that right?

 

Apart from the forward assist button falling off during a burst of full auto the build quality is good. The plastic of the stock and fore-grips feels really tough. I have a few mm rotational movement on the foregrips (no concern about this at all) and the stock is solid with zero movement. The anodised finish is mainly good but there are a few specks where it shows through to the metal. Again I'm not bothered about this as it just looks like any gun after its been skirmished a couple of times. The trade marks are excellent.

 

The brass sleeve towards the rear end of the chamber (name?) which appears to screw onto the rest of it is a little loose which causes the hole (that the gas passes through to valve) to rotate out of line from the gas hole in the mags. This seems to cause the gas to be consumed quicker. When the hole is aligned properly I'm getting about 2 full mags per CO2 bulb (bearing in mind this a high flow valve). This should be easily fixed by tightening the chamber sleeve (name?) when I can strip it all down.

 

How do I get the brass chamber out so I can tighten it up?

 

We had a few shots in a wooded area (lighting was not good) but to be honest the bb's were coming out so fast we had trouble seeing them after about 15m - 20m and couldn't really see their path too well. It appeared that with the hop set completely off they were rising hard after about 30 - 40m. Our best guess was they were travelling dead flat for that first distance because of the power they were being shot out at and then the hop would kick in sending them skywards. We were using .25 bb's.

 

As I will be using mine in a DMR role I have no real concern for rate of fire so might get a weaker recoil spring and trade off some of the rof for extra recoil. Although to be honest it has a hell of a kick anyway!!! I think eventually I will do the semi only mod too.

 

I've not had a chance to see how accurate/consistant it is yet but it sure is fun - thats for sure!!

You'll have to glue it again (not difficult job)

Do You mean this ?

Valve housing.

Lock it with blue loctite thread locker.

You will have disassemble upper receiver, check on wiki WE M4 guide (my guess they are built the same way apart the dimmensions). As soon as You'll get inner barrel with hop up out of upper reciever, You will find where pins are, and how to unscrew valve housing.

They are 'sole distributor', not retailer. I think.

 

I mailed them to ask if they have resellers, no answer....

Same experience here.

 

I need a new upper receiver but the distributor/ retail network does not seem to work. I tried all the Europeans and only one in Germany had the upper receiver but they don't take paypal or credit cards!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing that WETTI would agree to have a 'Authorized Sales/Parts/Service Center' that CANNOT take the normal payment methods- utterly useless.

 

One UK retailer listed as 'Authorized Sales/Parts/Service Centers'- www.landwarriorairsoft.com does not stock any parts. They just sell rifles and have no intention of selling parts. Not very helpful if you have anything wrong or need a part! The other UK retailer does carry some parts but not the full set.

 

I think there's something wrong if I have to order parts from overseas when there are supposedly two 'Authorized Sales/Parts/Service Centers' in the UK. Thank goodness for Hong Kong!

 

I would have thought that any 'Authorized Sales/Parts/Service Centers' would carry a full set of spares. Dissappointed.

Yes. Cheers for the advice - Loctite it is.

Damn - was afraid I'd need to go through taking the outer barrel off - was hoping it would come out the other way, like an AEG!! Armourers wrench to order next then!!

Trooper X - Glad you finally got your WE M16A3!!

Cheers Ben - I'm looking forward to having a proper play with it :D

 

Anyone know if an airsoft armourers wrench is the right dimensions for the WE or do I need a RS one? Thought this had been asked but couldn't find it.
