WE HK416 Pros/Cons ?
 

Hi guys,

I'm thinking to buy the WE HK416 - Open Bolt (Green gas) and i've seached for pros ans cons.
Maybe it's been already asked on the forum, but I didnt find the post (been with the search button).

I know that the HK416 is hot out of the box and I heard the closed bolt extern parts was a bit weak (3 years ago :/, may have changed). I wanted to know global performance is it worth it and if it's strong enought to support some bad lucks (never know). Well if it's a good first GBBR gun for a noob.

I found a lot of upgrade possible on it and I'm ok with it, gonna have fun to dissassemble it and learn of it.

Thanks for the help

*I want a GBBR, paintball player "caprice". I hate batteries :).

I believe that the concensus on GBBR' is that it's better not to upgrade to steel parts until factory parts start failing on you. They will last you a long while anyway, as long as you're treating your gbbr properly.

I just recently purchased this GBBR but have yet to test it on the field.
It shot nearly 500fps out of the box so a NPAS is a must to regulate the FPS and that can be purchased for pretty cheap. I also installed a TM VSR10 hop up rubber which is supposed to blow the stock part out of the sky.

Youtube has great videos detailing every step required to install those 2 parts on your own.

I'll be gaming it for the first time this Sunday so I'll try to give you proper feedback.

Ok tnx for the info, i'll wait your feedback on the gun. Good game this sunday!!

Good News! I plan to sell my KJW for WE416

The weapon had zero issues indoors at a temperature of around 18celcius and it was very accurate with the TM VSR-10 hopup rubber. Great kick with every shot.
I enjoyed everything about it and I'm looking forward to the next game.

The cons.
-Paint job is flimsy
-No markings
-WE Open bolt mags don't hold together too well. 2 of my 6 mags need a longer screw with locktite to hold the inner and outer part of the mags together.

Ok thanks for the info!! Pretty sure i'm gonna buy it :D
