American soldiers used the M16A1 Assault Rifle during the Vietnam War, and its improvement over the horrendous original rifle gave soldiers confidence in the gun again. This WellFire replica might look the part, but it operates differently.
Compared to an AEG M16, this one made by WellFire is a spring rifle, meaning you have to cock and fire the gun every time you wish to shoot. It might not be the best weapon for airsoft battles, but you can still use it as a prop or reenactment piece.
Predominantly polymer, the rifle is easy to carry. The original design also featured heavy polymer usage, which helped the soldiers in Vietnam lug it across rugged terrain with minimal effort. However, its also a durable design, capable of sustaining knocks.
This M16A1 replica also has a safety that toggles between single fire and safe modes. Always remember to practice caution even with this airsoft gun.
