School shootings happen because of bad parenting and irresponsible gun owners. Going out and shooting guns is a fun recreational activity - it's the 0.5% of gun owners in this country that use them to kill or don't properly secure them that makes the rest of us look bad.
I don't see you protesting against those that collect medieval weapons of torture.

Lol How did she eject the casing so it flies in her face? If you hold the gun against the right shoulder that shouldn't happen.
If you don't know how to hold any gun, you can be injured. Trying to fire a shotgun like a rifle could end you flat on your back!

Is that the Tokyo Mauri AEG Vietnam version? If so, how is it? I was thinking about those for a while.

Epsilon,
Yeah, its the Tokyo Marui AEG M16a1 Vietnam version. I've only fires it a few times, and its a neat thing to shoot. The beginning muzzle velocity is only around 280 fps, so if you'd be planning to be doing range shooting you'd have to modify it.
ITs a good lookign gun otherwise.

Epsilon,
Here's some more...I was in a little bit of a rush that last post.
The gun doesn't feel too solid, and you can tell that it's in large part made of plastic (I'm not sure if the real ones were or not, thanks to our gun-grabbers).
One downside is that the BB will roll through the chamber and out of the muzzle if you tilt it down for more than a couple seconds (this may be with all AEG's).
Another downside is that the Magazine sometimes jams up and doesn't feed properly when firing in the full auto mode. I'm not sure if the real M16a1 fired in 3 rnd bursts or full auto, but the airsoft one fires full auto.
I bought the gun more for display in living history events and for casual plinking than I did for skirmishing. It looks pretty good when combined with the rest of my Vietnam era US impression, and I'm sure I can toss a 30 rnd mag on it to do more modern impressions (up until the a2 was adopted). The only hole in this would be the tri-pieced flash hider.

Thanks for the info!
There should be four distinct differences between the early Vietnam version A1s and the A2s: The triangular foregrip, flash suppresor, flat pistol grip, and a different buttstock. They also used the 20-round magazines, which I think they might actually still use today for rifle qualifications... The buttstock and grips are plastic on the M-16, everything else should be metal. I know early Tokyo Mauri models weren't very good, but I've heard nice things about these latest Vietnam versions. That's why I'm curious.
As for the different versions
A1: Semi-auto and full auto only
A2:Semi-auto and 3-round burst only
A3:Semi-auto and full auto only
A4:Semi-auto and 3-round burst only

That is incorrect. The M16A1 was never issued in three-round burst to the general forces. The M16A2 is, however. Epsilon is also right concerning the A3 and A4, with the only other difference being the removable carry handle to faciliate optic mounting.luger wrote:Epsilon,
The M-16 A1 was also made into a three-round burst in the later half of the Vietnam conflict, The Army was tired of the soldiers of spraying and praying.
To add to Epsilon's post between the A1 and A2, more differences include a thicker barrel, brass deflector, and a round - instead of teardrop shape - forward assist button.
As for the Tokyo Marui M16 - I believe the one you have in the picture is the "M16A1 Vietnam Version" as just the straight M16A1 comes with the full birdcage flash supressor. I have owned three of the Vietnam versions pictured. The first one I broke the internals out of ignorance, the second has major issues with the barrel assembly (for some reason they simply glue it on rather than thread it), and the third is still going strong after 3 years. That being said, I would recommend a different, more "up-to-date" rifle such as the CA M15A4 which has been absolutely rock solid for me (plus it has the appropriate metal body).
