Brandless "HK416 EBBR" Review - 2/5

Alright everyone, just did my first proper field test. It actually went pretty well. And the longer I played the better the blaster got. Not to many ball jam ups at all. Even tested on full auto a whole 350+ mag and it Jammed twice so. I was getting a low fps using 7.3mm gels at a consistent 180-200fps and some down spin at times but I’m thinking maybe the barrel is 7.5mm so could most likely be the issue. Funny enough for the first time I used it there was a player that just bought a genuine LDT ATM rifle but a v1 and he said my bolt felt better. So there’s that, the nylon is fine also. But the gun was heaps of fun to use in general. The guy I met also recommended to upgrade to a brushless motor like him as his fire rate was alot better. But I’m keen to re shell eventually and see what else I can do. Maybe go to a smaller 7.3mm barrel if it is 7.5mm and apparently his had a spring upgrade but I’m not sure as I heard it’s not modifiable. But futures looking bright for the braness hk416d ATM rep :smiley: plans also for reshell are a shorter outer barrel with a tracer unit with inner barrel length to match with a cqb hand guard and a wat metal receiver. And a new stock

Also was all in an indoor cqb style field.

Don’t feck around with a smaller barrel, simply find the gels that work best for your setup and don’t get blindsised about FPS numbers!

All you need is a bucket full of gels that you can grow with your eyes shut and a Blaster that will send Gels down range reliably without any mucking around. :ok_hand:

Something else to keep in mind is the fact that when LDT released the HK416D years ago it came with a 7.6mm inner barrel… designed to work with LDT heavy milkies which typically grow a little bigger.

Might be worth measuring that inner barrel. Maybe being brandless the manufacturer copied the same barrel specs. :man_shrugging:

But as DocBob suggests, a blaster that will run on any gel without jamming or stuffing around with controlled grow times etc is your ideal goal.

7.5mm inner barrel all day every day. :+1:
