A little quick update from my experience with FCC, I finally get to fart around the 416 complete build tonight, with the little range time I got, all I have got to say is WOW! the 416 is lighter than any other full metal 416 out there (due to the lightweight T6 all CNC aliuminum construction) the performance was like any other FCC product they are top notch but this time due to the short CQB'ish barrel it have more of a loud snap than that infamous PTW Zip sound. The only thing that made my 416 stand out when compared to the rest is that I got some of their silver bling parts on it like my trigger, boltstop and mag release and a Magpul Mbuis2 sights and MOE grips.
Now the Cons
- one of the downside to this beautiful AEG is that my FCC Pmag an dan actual Pmag wont fit, you will have to make a slight modification to the mag catch notch on the mag to make it fit, so for the time being your regular Systema magazine will fit.
- Another con on this complete build is the stock the LMT replica stock feels very plastic definitely not my cup of tea and definitely should not be on a gun that cost this much, so I forsee a Troy Battle Axe stock on this baby in teh very near future.
- Shooting the gun with the newer Velocity M90 cylinder resulted in a nice and CQB friendly 330fps (more on this later when I get some more range time) performance wise there are no overheating like the Systema. A quick shoot in my makeshift range resulted in a constant 330-328 fps @8 mags semi and 6 mags full auto, Tri burst function was not tested due to lack of time and dead batteries
First impression conclusion
definitely worth the purchase, especially for those who wants the best TW performance, the cons on this gun is minor when you put the whole package together. FCC is rectifying the mag fitment issue with their new Rampo mags soon to be released and a few other "correct parts" like the 416 tango down grips, with the rumored upcoming release of their AK platform I can't wait for their new products.
Pictures of the bling and updated review will be up later
