Videos of the WE AWSS GBB M4A1, CQB-R and M16A3

[WarChild7]

This past weekend, The War Store was invited by WE Tactical Training International (WETTI) to attend and assist a testing and training session of the WE AWSS (Advanced Weaponry Simulator System) CO2 GBB M4A1, M16A3 and CQB-R. The location was the 5th Ranger Training Base in Dahlonega, GA. In attendance were members of local LE SWAT teams, Rangers and other military branches.

Everyone got to fire all three M-series AWSS models, with both green gas/propane mags as well as CO2. The guns function great on both types of gas. The build quality of all the guns is incredible. Several real guns were there, and the WE guns were indistinguishable in side-by-side comparisons on external color and finish.

The Mil/LE guys loved the way they felt, handled and shot, and thought the recoil was only slightly less than that of a real M4 (they actually shot a real one and the WE back to back to compare).

These guns are astonishing. Everyone just couldn't believe how cool they were. Definitely a huge step in a new direction for airsofters. If you like a more realistic, mil-sim game, the AWSS line is the answer.

WE also discussed starting a national GBB league to promote just this type of gameplay.

The War Store will be one of only a couple places in the US to obtain the CO2 anodized AWSS version of the WE GBB series.

other info:

the AWSS are available with either a 350 FPS bolt or a 500 FPS bolt. they come standard with a 6.03mm brass tightbore. a 6.02mm polished chrome barrel is also available.

an adjustable FPS bolt is available as an aftermarket part (can adjust from 250-500 FPS).

guns will probably be $375-$400 depending on model. mags will probably be around $45.

M4A1, CQB-R, M16A3, SCAR-L (tan or black) are available now. AK, MP5, SCAR-H, M249 SAW, UMP and Sig556 will all be coming out within the next couple months. thereafter probably one new model every two months.

EDIT: one more thing...the AWSS series, when purchased from us, will come with a 6 month warranty! if you are an Law Enforcement or Military unit, you will get a one year warranty!

On Thursday, our two demo guns from WETTI arrived. Feel free to come down to the store to try out the future of mil-sim airsofting!

We'll be taking deposits on the M4A1, CQB-R, M16A3 and SCAR-L for those who want to be in the next shipment. We'll be submitting that order in a week or so.

Here's some pics:

Is it possible to convert a WE Ma41 ver.2 to the front end of the M16A3 (with the longuer inner barrel) and also the grip and stock?

Hey if you have a chance can you ask WE if the 556 will be the classic version or not?
and Whats the effective range/accuracy of these weapons?


Thank You

[WarChild7]

I've been tweaking out one of my demo guns....here's the look so far. the Aimpoint is just a placeholder for another week or so until my sand Eotech 553 arrives to take its rightful place on the top. waiting for a dark earth Tango Down stubby foregrip, and a tan flashlight mount too. still, almost done and looking pretty sweet, i think.

[drew2r]

looks very good, might eventually pick one of these up for my self .

[lokisama]

Will you be supporting more internal parts/mags for this gun in the future?

[Lakonian]

This country sucks. I want one sooo bad. ughhh

[Sim123456]

I ask WETTI for M16A3 parts to buy to make one out of a M4A1. They told me that they will look if there is a marketing to do with selling this gun in parts. We could convert any existing WE AWSS M4A1 into a M16A3 ^^

Here's a few new pics of my 500 FPS CO2/propane WE GBB CQB-R AWSS...i think i'm about done now and this will be the final configuration:

[Cheeseman]

Why can't you American's just invade Canada so I can have one of these?

[WarChild7]

These are propane powered, with Olympic Arms trademarks, and come with a 400 and 500 FPS nozzle and a 6.03mm tightbore. we chrono'd one of them at 486 FPS with 0.30g BB's!

[c3sk]

So hawt.

[Sim123456]

I would like very much to trade my M4A1 for a M16A3, I love longer weapons, and no it's no because I have a small ......

[Wilo]

Seriously. I want.
