A premium HK416 look, sensible price

The E&C 416 A5 is a full-metal HK416 A5-style AEG that delivers the feel of a premium rifle without the premium price tag. The receiver, stock tube, outer barrel, RIS rail system, flash hider and flip-up sights are all metal, paired with a tough ABS sliding stock and pistol grip.

Quick-change spring gearbox

It fires in semi and full-auto from E&C’s 2.0 Version 2 gearbox with 8mm bearings and an adjustable hop-up. Because the spring changes quickly, adjusting power to suit different sites is straightforward, making this an easy platform to live with and tune.

Chronographed and ready

We chronograph every rifle in store to a UK site-legal power of around 1 joule before it leaves us, and the platform can be re-sprung if your site allows more. On the field that is roughly 330 to 350 FPS on 0.20g BBs.

Buy with confidence

This is a Realistic Imitation Firearm, so you must be 18 or over and hold a valid defence such as UKARA registration. It ships with a hi-cap magazine and takes standard M4 / AR-15 AEG mags. Our Kent workshop can also help with servicing and upgrades.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a UKARA registration to buy this rifle?

This is a Realistic Imitation Firearm, so a valid defence such as UKARA registration is required to purchase it under the VCR Act. You must also be 18 or over.

What FPS does it shoot?

Every rifle is chronographed in store to UK site-legal power, around 1 joule, which is roughly 330 to 350 FPS on 0.20g BBs. The quick-change spring means it can be re-sprung to suit your site.

What magazines does it take?

It ships with a hi-cap magazine and accepts standard M4 / AR-15 AEG magazines, so most common spares will fit.

What battery should I use?

It is rear-wired with a Deans / T-plug connector and a 7.4V LiPo is recommended. Batteries and chargers are sold separately.

Can it be upgraded?

Yes. The full-metal build and V2.0 quick-change-spring gearbox make it an excellent upgrade base, and it can be re-sprung if your site allows more power.
