Double Bell M416 Short AEG Airsoft Rifle in Tactical Black

Double Bell M416 Short AEG Airsoft Rifle – Tactical Black

If you’re after a compact airsoft AEG that doesn’t flinch when things get tight, the Double Bell M416 Short (BY‑811) should be firmly on your radar. This isn’t just a cut-down M4 lookalike — it’s a purpose-built CQB tool designed to move fast, hit hard, and stay reliable under pressure. Built around a rugged alloy receiver and metal outer barrel, it blends close-quarters agility with field-ready durability — no rattly plastics here, just the solid kind of construction that gives confidence the moment you pick it up.

Weighing in around 2.9 kg with battery installed, this M416 short rifle strikes a nice middle ground: it feels substantial enough to track shots with stability, but light enough to run all day without shoulder fatigue. That balance is key when you're breaking through tight doorways or ducking behind hard cover. The mock suppressor tucked into the front end adds a serious operator vibe without making the front too long — and yes, it plays well with tight sling setups and shoulder transitions.

Under the hood is a Version 2 AEG gearbox, upgraded with reinforced gears and designed to run reliably on a 7.4v Li-Po. Right out of the box, expect about 330 FPS with 0.20g BBs — enough for indoor fights and short field pushes. Want more? Swap springs or drop in a MOSFET and high-torque motor, and you’ve got a monster on your hands. That’s the beauty of the V2 platform: the upgrade path is endless.

Hop-up adjustment is handled by a rotary unit, making on-the-fly tuning straightforward. You can dial it in for tight hallways or open sites — we’ve seen reliable groupings at 35 to 40 metres with no trouble using heavier BBs. The barrel assembly is rock solid, and the QD barrel nut makes inner barrel swaps fast and painless if you’re experimenting with builds or keeping a spare tightbore setup in your kit bag.

Ergonomics are well thought out too. The textured pistol grip keeps your control locked in even during wet or muddy skirmishes, while the full-metal front and rear sights are both adjustable and zero-play — no wobbly plastic here. They co-witness neatly with low-profile optics if you want to mount a red dot, and they tuck out of the way easily if you go minimalist.

Finish-wise, the matte tactical black holds up well to rough use — it's not just painted on. Whether you're dragging this thing across walls, barricades or gravel floors, it doesn't scratch easily or flake like cheap coatings. It looks clean, feels solid, and just fits in any loadout that leans toward urban, CQB or tactical themes.

If your playstyle values fast entries, aggressive movement, and that “get in, shoot, get out” approach, the Double Bell M416 Short is an excellent choice. It’s affordable, dependable, and upgrade-friendly — and most importantly, it feels right in hand. Not just another short rifle — this one's got purpose baked in.
