CM16 R8-L Carbine Replica - Black
CM16 R8-L carbine replica by G&G was constructed as part of Combat Machine project, which aimed to provide high quality replicas in a price range considered “low budget”. Combat Machine replicas have the highest, characteristic for G&G quality of craftsmanship, operation and materials used in construction. The main feature that allowed for the reduction of price was the use of high quality polymer as a material for the replica’s receiver instead of metal. What is also noteworthy, is the fact that the body was made from a polymer reinforced with glass fibre – the same can be said with regard to the handguard, stock or any other polymer element. Metal parts include: external barrel, stock pipe, swivels and most small parts.
The replica has a SF stock with a rubber buttpad. Inside the stock is stored a battery. The stock is regulated, which allows for customization of the replica’s length to the user’s body type and preferences. The set includes a replica of M2 reflex sight – a very solid, made mostly from metal and equipped with a 22mm RIS rail mount replica. The sight displays a vivid red dot, which can be smoothly regulated both horizontally and vertically. The sight has rubber, flip-up covers.
CM16 R8-L has a top 22mm mounting rail along the entire body and a set of three long rails on the handguard. This complete conversion allows for the attachment of a wide array of additional accessories such as: optical sights, grips, tactical flashlights and laser sights.
The replica comes with a polymer, high capacity (300 BBs) magazine.
The replica has a V2 gearbox based on 8mm bearings, which allows for achieving a muzzle velocity of about 415FPS straight out of the box. Thanks to that and the implementation of a 357mm long, internal barrel, the replica is an ideal choice for medium range combat. Inside is a tight pneumatic system, equipped with a top class Hop-Up chamber and packing.
The set does not include a battery or a charger.
The set includes:
- A replica
- A magazine
- A M2 reflex sight replica
- A user’s manual
- 1000 G&G 0.20 BBs
NiCd
rechargeable battery is characterized by high efficiency
current-carrying capacity, but there are disruptive effect on memory.
Should be unloaded and loaded in the full cycle, ie, it is recommended
to fully discharge, and after unloading must charge the battery
immediately without leaving it for a long time in a discharged state.
NiMH batteries have a higher self-discharge over time and shorten the
life - on the other hand, they earn about 30% more capacity.
Blow back is a simulation system of the cocking lever - it imitates the work of it as the equivalent sharp. This system raises the realism and adds a lot more experience during shooting.
It is the spped of bb, while its leaving the innerbarrel of replica. This speed is measured in FPS (Feet Per Second).
1 FPS = 0,3 m/s
1 J = 99 m/s
1 J = 326,7 FPS
Indications v2, v3, v6 does not mean the level of advance, but only shape of gearbox skeleton which was used and selected by the manufacturer depending on the capabilities of the body of the replica. For example, a models of the M4/M16 family, MP5, have a v2 gearbox, while the AK family have gearbox v3.
Hop-Up system is used for overclocking bb during the shot (putting it in rotation), through which, it extends its flight path. Acting laws of physics make that bb lift up, while the gravitational force take it down. Appropriate adjustment of Hop-Up, will compensate for these two factors, which result in long and straight flight for longer distance and be greater focus shot (to improve accuracy).
