416A5
A modern 416 layout with ambidextrous-style controls and several rail options. It is also the only style in the current range offered in both AEG and gas blowback form.
The broadest current choiceThe current 416 range is focused on full-metal rifles, but the models do not all feel or operate the same. Start with the length and rail style you prefer, then decide whether an electric AEG or gas blowback system better suits the way you plan to use it.
The clearest differences are the rifle length, handguard and control layout. These change the balance and the way attachments sit on the rifle more than the name alone suggests.

The broadest current choiceThe compact option. Its shorter front end and retractable stock make it easier to carry and manoeuvre, but the reduced battery space needs to be considered before ordering a battery.
Compact handlingThese retain the familiar 416D receiver profile while changing the handguard and external setup. Choose between the classic look and a more distinctive RAHG-style front end.
Classic receiver, different railsThe M27 has a longer rifle profile, while the MK15 combines the 416 platform with a different modern handguard. Both suit customers choosing primarily by external build and balance.
Longer and specialised profilesThe current 416 AEGs use a Version 2 gearbox platform. They are easier to start with, have more replacement and upgrade parts available, and usually use magazines holding around 200 gels. Batteries and chargers can be reused.
Current storefront AEGs run from A$619 to A$769. Depending on the model, the battery connector may be Tamiya or Deans, so check the product specification before ordering.
A gas blowback 416 has a moving action and noticeable recoil. The magazines hold roughly 30 gels, so reloads are more frequent, and Green Gas is an ongoing consumable.
The current gas options are the Golden Eagle 416A5 at A$1,050 and the Guns Modify 416A5 MWS at A$1,990. Choose gas for the handling experience rather than magazine capacity or running cost.
All current storefront models use full-metal or alloy construction, with polymer furniture where applicable. The price difference comes from more than the receiver material.
Handguard design, barrel length, machining, controls and overall finish affect the weight, balance and manufacturing cost.
Standard and Ultra Line AEGs can differ in gearbox components, motor, compression parts, electronics and trigger control. These affect response, consistency and durability.
GBBR pricing reflects the gas system, blowback mechanism and magazine design. It should not be compared with an AEG using FPS alone.

A part labelled for an M4 or another 416 will not automatically fit every model. Match the manufacturer, exact model and power system, especially for magazines, batteries, handguards and internal parts. You can also bring the rifle to our Coomera showroom for a fit check.
Most 416 and M4 AEGs in the Australian market use a Version 2 gearbox, so they can share many internal and performance upgrade parts. Receivers, handguards, magazines and other external components can still differ between manufacturers and models. The larger 417 platform is different again, although it also shares a number of internal components.
No. AEG and gas magazines are not interchangeable, and fit can also vary by manufacturer and model. Check the exact rifle before ordering, or bring it to the showroom so we can test a magazine with it.
The 416C is the compact model in the current range. Its shorter front end and retractable stock make it easier to handle and store, but the limited battery space means the battery size, connector and wiring position need to be checked carefully.
Battery: Match the connector and available battery space to the exact rifle. Current 416 AEGs use Tamiya or Deans connectors depending on the model. Many chargers work with a range of batteries, but the charger must still support the battery voltage and cell count.
Gel balls: Most gel balls are broadly compatible with common gel blasters. For higher-FPS setups, we recommend hard gels that hold their shape better during feeding and firing. Every option in our gel ball range is selected as a high-quality hard gel.
An electric 416 normally comes with the blaster and a magazine; confirm the exact package on the product page. You will also need a battery that fits the stock space and connector, a suitable charger and hydrated gel balls. The battery and charger are reusable. A speed loader is optional and simply makes magazine loading easier.
Yes. Depending on the model and your goal, we can tune the hop-up, compression, motor, gears or electronics to change trajectory, trigger response, muzzle velocity or rate of fire.
We can also help build the external setup with a compatible red dot, scope, flashlight or foregrip. Bring the rifle to the Coomera workshop, or send us the manufacturer and exact model before ordering parts.
