Geap Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Hi Guys,. In your opinion, what's the most realistic Vietnam era M16 (AEG) out there? thanks Geap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E21A Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 one based on a Vietnam era M16 probably 😂 The A1? I think it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterG Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 A metal A1 is the most realistic looking. G&P make one. There are others as well, if you google. Cheers G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDcase Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I got THIS Classic Army M16A1 which they call the M15A1 Seems nicely put together and shoots OK in the garden. High rate of fire in auto. Not had a chance to test in game yet. I like my stuff to look 'used' so gave it a vintage look... (still needs a bit of polishing on the furniture) (Yes, the sling is wrong) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firstcast Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Re externals. I own both the Classic Army M16 (M15) mentioned above and a G&P M16a1. Firesupport have both the G&P M16a1 and M16vn in stock (I believe, no forward assist and slab sided receiver, plus 3 prong muzzle flash). Both are correct for Vietnam period. Unfortunately I don’t think the G&P’s sold at firesupport have Colt trademarks (which are available in Asia). Note the G&P will accept a real steel forward grip (repos are available from Brownells). With Colt trades and a RS handguard the G&P is very nice (the plastic handguard it comes stock with is not great). The furniture on the classic army M16 is better, though overall I prefer the G&P with Colt trades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RumbleSplitskins Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Edcase Yes looks the business from those pictures and it was a sweet piece of kit in its day but you failed to mention when asked something, sorry forgot where I was, you failed to mention who manufactured it and where you bought it Also the sling may not be GI or OE but it certainly adds to that 'Nam' look! In the end though, does it really matter if it doesn't show those bits on the actual assault rifle, that the Airsoft version doesn't need like the rear antennae mounting gusset which I noticed is also missing, but whilst it means you will not be able to mount an antenae gusset to the rear of the stock, it should in no way spoil your enjoyment of this very nice well put together Airsoft semi-automatic rifle. Stop worrying about shit that doesn't matter and just enjoy your Airsoft guns for what they are. Remember this, anyone who tells you that the way something looks is more important that what it does, how it does it or how well it does it; is just a sad wannabe who has no true concept of the value of anything. So, do yourself a favour, stop listening to or reading what silly olds (begins with c and rhymes with punts) like me say or write and just get on with your life at your own pace be grateful for what you have don't worry about what others have even if it's more bigger or better than what you think you have.

EDcase Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Hia, Link to it is in my post. Thanks for the wise words but rest assured I'm not bothered about what other people think of my stuff. The sling comment was an in-joke with the jokers on the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giraffe Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 To me, G&P are the nicest looking AEG AR15 around, though they aren't as common as they used to be. Also if you're doing Vietnam era airsoft, remember they were brand new guns at the time, so go easy on the brillo pads... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
