Product Description
Overview
We are pleased to introduce the latest generation of mainstream replicas from G&G. It can be observed that the base platform is the well-known M4, however, as the Romanian saying goes, "it looks similar but does not sprout." The manufacturer has equipped this platform with the latest innovations in rail systems and accessories, as well as a modern design aimed at providing better maneuverability. An even greater achievement of this platform is the electronic system of the replica, benefiting from the advantages of a mosfet that is hard to access for those on a tight budget.
Exterior of the Replica
The replica in question is called GC16 Predator. As mentioned, it belongs to the mainstream category of replicas manufactured by G&G, but it benefits from the latest innovations and technologies. The body is made from an aluminum alloy, as well as the front rail system. The only ABS plastic elements are the grip and the stock of the replica. The aggressive front system allows for accessory mounting via the KeyMod system. This system maintains a low profile when accessories are not mounted. The mounting of the rails is as simple and efficient as possible. The body of the replica features a new design aimed at providing a pleasant and modern appearance as well as significantly improved grip. It is equipped with several ambidextrous elements, allowing both right-handed and left-handed users to utilize the replica. The fire selector is ambidextrous, the magazine release button, and the charging lever. The design of the grip, like the body, is meant to provide a firm hold. The stock retains the SOPMOD feature, namely the two side slots where battery cells can be stored, but be careful, they are slightly reduced in size, and inserting a crane battery may present difficulties. Obviously, the stock is adjustable with 6 positions, equipped with a spare compartment, and the cap rotates to provide access to the internal space. To open it, the button on the top must be pressed.
To secure the replica, there is an ambidextrous ring above the grip for single-point sling attachment.
Interior of the Replica
G&G has equipped this replica with the new generation, gearbox v2, fully electronic. The trigger assembly is replaced with an electronic unit equipped with micro-switches, designed to provide significantly improved reliability compared to traditional carbon brushes. At the back, there is a powerful mosfet capable of easily supporting 11.1V LiPo. Besides the greatly improved reliability, the advanced electronic system will contribute to lower battery consumption, a much quicker trigger response, and proper management of internal components, preventing premature wear. The cherry on top is the possibility to implement a 3-round burst function instead of the auto selection. The modification is easily done by holding the semi mode trigger for 12 seconds. Internal components such as gears, piston, spring, and other parts are standard. Each part that needs to be replaced must be carefully checked for compatibility.
The hop-up chamber is made of plastic and the hop-up adjustment is adjustable. The speed of the replica is 110-115 meters per second, measured with 0.20g BBs. The hop-up adjustment is located inside the ejection port. To access it, the charging lever must be operated.
Power Supply
The airsoft replica package does not include a battery or a battery charger. It is recommended to use an 11.1V 1000mAh crane or crane x3 battery. To access this battery storage space, only one button needs to be pressed. It is not recommended to use a battery larger than 11.1V as it may damage the airsoft replica. It is advisable to use quality BBs weighing 0.25g for optimal results. We recommend not to reuse BBs or use low-quality BBs as it may damage the replica.
