WE AFC M16A3 GBB

Okay guys, I need your help for the umpteenth time. As some of you probably know, I've become very interested in acquiring a gas powered rifle for it's realism, and this is what I've decided I really like. Right now, I keep going back and forth between a full size AR or a M4, but let's talk about this for the moment. A few questions:

1) Will I be able to get it from Hong Kong to America?
2) Heard anything bad/good about it?

And of course I'm having a brain fart. I'll come back and type in the rest of the questions later, but in the mean time, could somebody answer those please?

jarhead, before i decided on KWA M4a1 I ALMOST bought the WE m16a3, I've heard awesome things about em!

Looks amazing, I'd buy it if I had the funding.

Would be a good choice if you're looking for a GBB rife in my opinion.

Have you heard as many bad things about the CO2 mags as I have? I thought I might pick just one up just to have a little variety, but I've read they leak like a toddler's diaper and they put waaaaaay too much stress on the internals.

I ordered my glock from RedWolf with no problems. They painted my gun's tip, and removed all illegal trademarks without scratching my gun. Packaged nicely and arrived quickly. I have also heard bad things about customs, however, but was not a problem for me.

Okay, remembered my other questions!

3) How many mags should I get, considering they only hold 30 rounds? I was thinking along the lines of seven so I'll have eight total
4) Anybody know what the exact fps is on it? RedWolf says various different fps measurements, so I don't know what to believe

@SnoSnipe
I was wondering about the tip, thanks man

Cool, real-cap

I like this already.

I know a guy who has one, he LOVES it hasn't had any problems with CO2 mags

@sniper
Alright, thanks man

Another question!

5) Anybody know if I could get away with using an AEG's RIS system? To make this as realistic as possible, I'll need a RIS sytem

well the SCARS only use RS grips....i don't know if its ditto for this or not thought...

You mean broomsticks or pistol grips? I'm a little confused, my friend

Well as long as it has the delta ring and the front collar it should be fine. I mean none of the RIS's say "For AEG only".

Okay. Anyone wanna link me to one that would work well on it? Preferrably full metal?

I believe this would work, it says to be for real style delta rings.

Or maybe this 2 piece one (still real deltas)

I like the first one, but are you certain it will fit on a WE AFC M16A3? It says it won't fit on some rifles

WE SCARs use only RS pistol grips. im not sure if this uses only RS Rails...i know for a fact that G&P AEG's are threaded for RS RIS. I am not sure of this does how ever.

Also (because this was important to me) their paint scratches off very easily with a fingernail

@mgunner
You reckon they'd sell RS RIS systems at gun shops? Or would I need to look at other sources?

@Sno
Hahah, sweet, I'm gonna be liking these guys

Yeah. They are the only retailer that I really deal with and feel good about when i'm done. I seriously bought my Glock one night, and 2 days later, I had it in my hands. I have also bought gun upgrades and new magazines from them.
Also, they would most likely sell RIS systems in gun shoppes. That would be a good place to check.

Okay, I'll call down to S&S (or better yet, go there) and see what he has in stock. He mainly deals in carbines, though, so it may be difficult for me to find something.

That sounds like a better idea

What does?

Getting a real RIS from a gun shop rather than playing risky business getting an AEG one online.

Ah. Anybody know what the price I'd be looking at might be?

I see most RIS units around $200-$250ish. The one I have on my RS AR15 is a Daniel Defense thing that was $350
