Choosing between this gun and the L96? I got both so I can help ye out a bit. 1st off being a sniper involves alot of patience. But this gun doesnt. With a sniper you gotta remember u have 1 shot. With this gun you got about 25 per second to throw at the enemy when ever you want. The sniper would also be alot better for sneaking with because it doesnt make any loud sounds to give you away. you shoot with the m16 every 1 within a 5 mile radius will know.
In the end, its your choice ( I chose both) but i'd recommend this gun to start off with and buy the L96 later when you find out what you like to do. Specs of the M16: Fast shooting medium weight average fps is 420, 425fps the gun is sturdy its internals are well put together Metal body
o and AMS didnt upgrade the gun. it came to them like this. The box says the low fps because shipping companies are taxed based on FPS. They rounded it down on the box so they dont have to pay as much.

The gun does shoot 400- 450 fps out of the box. If the box you got said 330fps its becuase all airsoftmegastores guns are upgraded. go to help and there is a section on the fps advertised and fps on the box.

This gun is great. I bought it for my birthday and it performs great. i can snipe people from 50 yds away no problem. Definitely recommended for anyone who is looking for a great reliable gun that performs every time. The only minor problem is that the bullets can stray to the side sometimes. But once you get the hop up and sights dialed in, your in business! Overall, the best gun for the money.

this is my first full metal rifle to own. after using so many good plastic rifles i needed a metal one. this one is perfect if you hope to upgrade or just keep it an M16. 420 fps out of the box. i put a light on it. red dot scope works just fin with it. hop up is touchy. but once you fool with it you'll find the sweet spot for a good straight shot. 5 out of 5 from me
To bob as well 
is this gun metal
