Pictured above is arguably the most popular airsoft gun of all time, the Electric M4 or M16 airsoft rifle. These guns shoot in semi-auto, full-auto and some in 3 round burst. With up to 1000 rpm (rounds per minute), 450 fps (feet per second) and an effective range of 150-180 feet, the electric m4 airsoft AEG rifle is a weapon to be feared.
These airsoft rifles can be easily upgraded to have bigger motors, stiffer springs, and longer barrels to achieve the higher fps rating that serious airsofters want and need. The m4 airsoft gun is a very versatile airsoft rifle. Because it is such a common gun, many different airsoft accessories, made by different companies are interchangeable. This is a great plus for these guns. Compatibility is always an issue in airsoft guns. It is nice to have an airsoft rifle that it is easy to buy parts for.
Electric m4 airsoft rifles have an integrated weaver or picatinny rail on the top of the gun. Most models come with a carry handle mounted to this rail. Another rail may need to be purchased to mount to the carry handle if you want to mount a scope on top of the handle. Or you may want to just remove it and mount it to the integral rail on the gun.
I recommend using a red or green dot scope on the electric m4 airsoft rifle. These scopes are used to quickly and accurately aim. They are smaller and easier to use than a larger traditional sniper rifle scope.
The most common magazine size is a 300 round high capacity magazine. There are also 250 rd, 150 rd and 30 rd magazines available. To use these magazines, they must be wound up on the bottom. There is a dial there that increases tension on the bb’s to insure that they feed correctly into the electric m4 airsoft rifle’s hop-up chamber.
The battery can be located in the front grip or in the butt stock. Chances are if your m4 electric airsoft rifle has a collapsible or folding stock, the battery is located in the front grip, next to the barrel. But if you have a front rail system, the battery will probably be a nun chuck type located in the butt stock.
These airsoft m4 aeg rifles can be used for many applications in airsoft battles. They are great in CQB (close quarters battle), outdoor skirmishing, and even as a sniper. These are very versatile airsoft guns. All of these reasons are why this is America’s favorite airsoft gun. Enjoy your new airsoft electric m4 rifle today.

I recently purchased the newest version KWA M4S Tactical S-System through airsoftgi.com and I LOVE IT. I was into airsoft a few years ago but fell out of when I had to sell all of my gear to make some quick cash. I played in my first realmil a few weekends ago with my new toy and had a blast. The gun was amazing. Itis an amazing machine, chrono said it was shooting 418 fps. The full metal body was extremely sturdy but kinda heavy. One thing that I wish this gun had is 3-round burst, even though I probably wouldnt use it much it just seems like it would be fun. I will probably never open this gun up because with it already shooting 418 I was regulated to shooting semi-automatic for the entire game. The S-system version is completely covered in rails so you can put ANYTHING on this gun easily. Right now I only have a vertical foregrip but I am looking into getting an ACOG scope or maybe a 4×32 scope for it because this gun is pretty accurate over a long distance. I have one 300rd high-cap mag that came with the gun and 8 130rd mid-cap mags. The mags I use are by MAG which have been know to have a little bit of a feeding issue with KWAs. I only had an issue with two of my mags all game (a 24hr OP) and when I got home i realized it was because I had overfilled them and split the side of the magazine.
Overall, this gun is amazing. I have owned many different airsoft guns in my days and this is one that I would definitely recommend to my friends.
