No Holds Barred Well R4 MP7 Airsoft Gun Conversation
H&K's newest Firearm, the MP7 has been creating quite an uproar in the weapons community. Dubbed the following generation Personal Defence Weapon (PDW), its small magnitude and gigantic degree of blaze create it perfect for that role. It's no perplexity that the Airsoft versions of this weapon has become ideal popular. For price, functionality and durability look no further than the Hardy R4 electric airsoft gun.
Classified as a sub-$100 airsoft electric gun, the Well R4 functions up to par with the Tokyo Mauri model it's cloned after. Nicely packaged, the box (complete with the always entertaining "Chinenglish" markings) contains:
The R4 AEG Airsoft Gun
30 Round magazine
7.2V 450maH NiMh Rechargeable battery
Cradle charger
Loading tube and clearing rod
Starter packet of BBs
Chinenglish User Manual
For an ABS body weapon (there are some metal parts) it is surprisingly tight and solidly constructed. Its ponderous impression and body endowment are obvious right out of the box. In fact there are no indisputable wiggles that plague lots of AEG's. There is an extendable stock comes outside nearly 12" for shoulder aiming of the AEG and a fold down fore grip is ergonomically placed at the front of the gun. The metal parts are the gearbox, barrel, RIS rails, trigger, inventory pins, flash hider, and magazine. Overall, it's a pretty sleek looking CQB (Close Quarter Battle) weapon.
Overall performance is awesome. While the box says 180-200 FPS we've seen user reports saying this weapon chrono'd elsewhere at 220-250FPS using .20g Ammo. That's not deficient for price and overall size. Looks commensurate WELL is working on improving their product quality. Authenticity is not bad either. Properly sighted, this stuff can easily hit a soda can at 100ft. Only 1 or 2 BBs flew off course during this test. Switching up to the .23g BBs extremely improved the accuracy and are recommended for use with this gun. The only downside to this weapon is the low capacity 30 round magazine that comes with it. They achieve accomplish a 50 round periodical that is a bit longer than the stock magazine. Whether you buy the R4, be firm to amuse a infrequent of the 50 round magazines.
A rare other observations. The battery is wireless and is charged in a cradle. This testament wrinkle you to the manufacturer stock battery. Also, the battery can be tough to remove. This is easily by grabbing the MP7 in the centre and shaking it back and forth. Doing this will slowly wiggle the battery out so you can get a good grasp on it (not a big drawback, conscientious a pain in the middle of a firefight). Finally, the metal sights, while adequate, aren't that great looking and could be improved. If you plan on indeed using this weapon on the playfield a red-dot scope is recommended.
