WE Tech M4A1 CQB Gen 3 Gas Blowback Airsoft Rifle in Tactical Black
Looking for that authentic M4 kick, clatter, and feel in your hands? The WE Tech M4A1 CQB Gen 3 GBBR is as close to the real thing as you’ll get without needing a firearms licence. Built around WE’s open-bolt Advanced Weaponry Simulator System (A.W.S.S.), this gas blowback airsoft rifle doesn’t just mimic the M4—it lives it. Every shot sends a solid kick into your shoulder, every reload feels proper, and the sound it makes? Sharp, loud, and satisfyingly aggressive.
Externally, it’s got that classic M4 profile down to a tee. Full metal aluminium body, detachable carry handle, extendable telescopic stock, and a proper two-piece aluminium outer barrel. It looks mean in matte tactical black, and everything apart from the stock, pistol grip, and handguard is metal—no shortcuts here. The anodised finish gives it a more durable and consistent look compared to standard painted receivers.
What makes this rifle stand out is the sheer realism. The open-bolt system doesn’t just add style points—it makes the action smoother and the whole platform more gas efficient, especially in warmer conditions. When you rack the charging handle, the bolt stays open just like the real steel. And yep, the bolt locks back when your mag runs empty, forcing a proper reload under pressure. It’s these small touches that make a gas blowback airsoft rifle feel alive in your hands.
Performance-wise, you're looking at around 345 FPS on 0.20g BBs with green gas, but many players report it climbing over 400 FPS in warmer weather. You’ll want to chrono it at your local site before heading into a game. Rate of fire? A spicy 19 rounds per second in full auto—if you’re brave enough to run it like that. Semi-auto, though, is where this thing shines, delivering a crisp trigger response and that sharp recoil with every pull.
The magazine is solid steel, holds 30 rounds, and like all gas mags, doubles as your gas reservoir. Keep it warm and topped off with green gas and you'll get a good few mags before needing a refill. Just remember—GBBRs are sensitive to temperature. Cold days will reduce efficiency, so it’s best used in spring through early autumn or in warmer indoor CQB sites.
Internally, you’ve got a 6.04mm inner barrel for decent out-of-the-box accuracy, and an adjustable hop-up unit for tuning your shots. Take-down is faithful to the real thing, making maintenance straightforward and strangely satisfying. The aluminium-made 14mm clockwise flash hider is removable, allowing for tracer or suppressor attachment if you’re customising your loadout for night ops or aesthetics.
Whether you're into milsim, training applications, or just love the raw mechanical feedback of a proper GBBR, the WE M4A1 CQB Gen 3 is a heavy-hitting, loud-mouthed machine that rewards hands-on players. Just don’t expect AEG consistency or cold weather friendliness—this is a rifle for players who like their kit to have character.
