WE M4 Open Bolt Kit Test

[Luck7And7GunShells7]

Would you recommend the we openbolt M4 or the g&p m4a1 challenge kit? I prefer to run gas guns so I'm looking into a m4 and since you run alot or gas guns also I would love to hear you opinion on these and any other GBB you might recomend

[vlun121]

will the open bolt for the m4 work for the we 416?

[Ender007]

@vlun121 Yes

[AirsoftCalifornia]

How is it holding up so far? Any problems?

[Ender007]

@AirsoftCalifornia So far so good. Just leaky mags. Stupid old version mag design, so hard to fix compared to the WE G39 and WE M14 mags.

[ironman97912]

when is the review coming?

[TomppaSoft]

Does WE M4 Open Bolt versions have reliable hop up system than Closed Bolt versions?

Thanks.

[Ender007]

@TomppaSoft It's way better than the closed bolt version's hop-up.

[12lali1992]

did you installed the open bolt kit or you bought it like it is?

[12lali1992]

where can i buy this gun ?

[Peter421]

Whoops. WA makes them

[gonghay]

Off topic question, but are you selling any guns? If so which ones?

[Ender007]

@gonghay Might sell the WE M14 or WE G36 to fund buying the WE M4.



[ApocalypticMike]

@Ender007 I actually can't seem to find it on their site, can you tell me the price of it? I might wana buy one and add a MagPul MOE handgaurd and PTS stock. No need to worry about batteries. And I'm assuming the magazines are real-cap only, right?

[Ender007]

@ApocalypticMike Send them an email and they should be able to help you out.

[ApocalypticMike]

@Ender007 Thanks.

[motocrossgunner]

@ApocalypticMike WE only makes 30rnd mags

[Peter421]

@ApocalypticMike i believe WEs are 50 rd cap

[motocrossgunner]

@Peter421 We only makes 30rnd mags

@Brickman93 dog tag airsoft

[tolietman221]

how many mags do u need for a gbb?

[o00BIGboss00o]

@tolietman221 atleast 6 to play properly

[legoarmydude]

Whys it necessary to hit the side of the gun? Sry I've never used gbbrs...

[ILIKTURTLES27]

@legoarmydude it releases the bolt from the bolt catch just like a real AR15

[legoarmydude]

@ILIKTURTLES27 Ahh ok thanks, my AEG M4 doesn't have a bolt catch :/

[cymadeagle]

LOL i just went to dogtag today dude, got to test fire it. the WE M4 and Dogtag is AWESOME :D

[TheLoafs123]

i dont know much about gbb rifles, so can you tell me what the differences are between open bolt and closed bolt systems, and can you tell me the advantages of it? thanks

[Ender007]

@TheLoafs123 Closed bolt was the old WE system found on their first M4s. They had a brass tube that was visible when you pulled back the bolt. The open bolt system doesn't have this anymore, making it look more realistic. There's probably other advantages but I never owned a closed bolt WE M4 so I can't say. I'll be talking with a friend who has one.

[shadsquatch1]

@Ender007 The open bolt on a real gun helps for cooling, but the advantage i see for airsoft is a lower fps.

[ChrisHun7er]

@shadsquatch1 Are you thinking of real steel "open bolt" where the bolt is back when in battery or airsoft "open bolt" when the chamber is clear with no brass tube and the bolt is closed when in battery?

[blingblingjon34]

@ChrisHun7er are u just being a troll go away troll

[ChrisHun7er]

@blingblingjon34 not sure if trolling or just stupid

[TheLoafs123]

@Ender007 cool thanks

[LongIslandAirsoft5]

@TheLoafs123 open bolt also performs alot better than closed.

[gandhicakes]

@TheLoafs123 Closed bolt used a bolt made out of better materials. Shitty hop up but generally speaking fairly solid gun. The new open bolts use a TM style hop up meaning you get way better range and accuracy but the downside is the bolt is made of pot metal. You end up with your steel trigger parts wearing away at the bolt. Both have various fixes, both can be fixed for fairly cheap. I have one of each BUT to be 100% honest you're gonna have to replace something regardless of open or closed.

[xXgoROTinAsack89Xx]

Was this a converted brass tube model or was a it a new open bolt model from the factory?

[Ender007]

@xXgoROTinAsack89Xx New from factory.

[xXgoROTinAsack89Xx]

@Ender007 And you got it past customs? I'm guessing they redesigned them to comply with customs.

[echiquete]

@xXgoROTinAsack89Xx

I've just received mine from Airsoft Panda, a Hong Kong retailer, I asked them to cover the trades with tape and the orange tip, it went through US Customs smoothly. the new open bolt system is pure win. The OB guns have little less FPS than the AWSS CB models, but the new Tokyo Marui derived hopUP works so great that you have now better range than the old system. The asian market version of the M4A1 with 360mm inner barrel can do ~450FPS according to Ra-techs videos.
