While I wouldn't use it in my back garden due to nosey neighbours and getting the armed response unit at my front door. This is definitely something I'd use at my local air gun range
The 6 round burst is really fast. The two CO2 's are for that feature so that the cooling effect on the capsules are halved reducing the inevitable pressure drop. Six trigger pulls =36 BB's in 5 seconds Nice review Thanks Andy
What a fun little plinker. The AR replicas are great fun.... I have a Hammerli in .22 rimfire and really enjoy it. It's pretty accurate too. Our laws in NZ are pretty draconian, but not as bad as the UK..... yet... 🙂
Bit dissapointed to be fair. If you can push the extra pennies, buy a Crossman SBR or a R1. Has functioning parts like Blow Back, Working Dust cover, Bolt locks on empty mag, bolt release button. The BB's are held in the magazine, along with duel CO2's, the hopper isnt really my cuppa tea. And its fully field Strippable. But I guess it depends on your budget, HK416 will still be fun to shoot, if not a bit toyish.
Spot on Andy! I'm a Walnut and Steel traditionalist, but OMG that would have been on my Santa list 50 years ago! (Maybe I now need to revisit my Santa List!!!!) TTFN.
Very interesting this one. Not my cup of tea and I will never get one. But strangley still watched Andy until the end. Would have liked a bit more on the red dot n magnifier personally but an entertaining watch yet again. 👍
They sold this in the USA about 5year already fun to mod and it had 6 round burst mode but if you take out the timing gear in it goes full auto. I put one empty co2 and a dummy co2 hpa teather to a hpa tank pull out the little motor that shacks from a old cell phone a 18650 battery and push button . So you don't have to shack it any more just push the bottom the motor shacks the bb for you. 💯👍✌️🛠️🎯
Try threading some rope or string through the ring pulls of the cans then fix it at either end leaving the cans swinging freely. No more re-stacking and more fun! Try it yrself👍
Well priced for the fun factor albeit the rattle of BB puts me off totally. Better to spend a bit more on a Crosman SBR or R1 ……. 😊 Thanks for the review.
Not sure .. but that magazine's gas port (on rop of the mag) seems somewhat very similar as on the Sig Sauer M17 magazine.. Not a big fan of that BB reservoir (or "hopper") system - but I guess it might be a pretty neat BB rifle even though, especially for those who get the burst mode for the same price (or less in the US I'm betting) of one of those rifles..
Just got 1! bare bones basic bb rifle that's a little gem and so much fun which is what its all about brings HUGE smiles to my face. Great video Andy really enjoyed had me giggling hard when you said you sounded like muttley 😂
This is very cool, but I already have the Crosman SBR which is full auto, so it wouldn't make much sense to buy this. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this review though...I honestly love anything airgun related. Your reviews are great Andy!..thank you.
Lovely.....I have a semi/3burst/auto model :).... Very fun plinker..... Was a wee bit more expensive though..... but I normally use it for fun on the paper targets in semi....
I have 2 bb guns both h.k one is a mp5k PDW and the other is a usp pistol. A local gun shop is selling the hk416 for £195 and after watching your video I have a feeling I'll be adding the hk416 to my collection!!.
I've got my hands on one of these now. Will have some fun in the garage with it later. I only have 8m range so it's a little overkill but it is ambidextrous therefore my other half who's a lefty can have a go as well. Looking forward to decimating a few Pringles tubes and coffee tins as well as a few targets. I have a setup consisting of a cheap projector and a Chromecast which can throw the image from my phone up onto cardboard to use as a target. The other half likes to use her ex husband cropped from their wedding photo. Each to their own eh!
As a new subscriber and a avid springer shooter for the last 45 years could you possibly review a niksan arms elf-s bullpup. As it's in my sights for my first affordable pcp. Love your content very informative and precise ❤
Morning Andy, I have a Tokyo Maru airsoft HK416D 6mm bb battery version of this. It’s a much better replica than the Umarex and has single shot or full auto. Much of it is metal and the ammo is loaded into the magazine (82 bb’s). It’s much lower powered but is very accurate and great for plinking. Admittedly it was a lot more expensive than this version, but it is a far more accurate replica in construction and weight to the original and has full auto which is great fun. I also use biodegradable bb’s which is better in the garden.
I have the airsoft Gas Blow Back version of the gun, it's great fun thanks to it working in a very similar way to 'real steel', being LOUD and having a lot of recoil. However the restrictions on buying airsoft rifles are much more of a pain for the casual plinker than with air rifles, so legally it ought to be a two-tone painted version of the gun - much less appealing. (Of course some airsoft sellers won't care too much, and the onus is on the seller to obey the law, not the buyer, so ... I'll leave it at that!)
@@FlyboyHelosim ... point of order, UAKARA is not a 'licence', merely a formalised system for assisting retailers in having a defence for selling a RIF to a person. So your second point is where it's at - the intention is an accessible database of active skirmishers, such that proving the sale was legal is vastly simplified for the seller. Back to the topic - the GBBR version of the '416 is my favourite gun, it's an absolute cracker :)
Good morning Andy ! whot a great review , of this HK .... the fun factor and having something looking like the real thing!! ... make this a good selling point ? . I feel the price is good also ... thank you for your hard work Andy .... Cheers Si 🙃
ok im only 6 mins in and im in love alrdy, absolutely my next buy oh also from your past videos i have bought the HDR 50, HDS 68 and HDX 68 and soon this so your vids defo work and i think umarex owes you some commission
Hello. I recently met and subscribed to this channel, the content is very interesting, I have become obsessed with buying one of those little toys. I laughed a lot with the image of the dog Muttley. Greetings from Chile South America
Amtrak don't own many of their own rails!They mainly run on tracks owned by various freight railroads.I have a feeling that the longest continuous track Amtrak actually own is the electric track from Boston to Washington DC via New York City?
Andy, great review, loved it. I have just got one of these and am wondering what kind of range / power will it have? I don't want to start using it in my garden if its likely to end up putting holes in fences etc. I'm thinking of a large carboard box 4ft x 4ft, targets in the middle, with cushions in it as a catcher, will that be sufficient?
A fantastic fun gun if that's your thing, its not mine. A great review but I would have liked more information about those add on sights. It would have been nice to have had some views looking through them and to have been told their cost.
Great review as always, but as usual UK price £160 to £200 and no full auto. US price around 100 dollars and full auto. I know umarex can't do anything about the full auto but can't see justification of the price difference.
This should be interesting, i bought a sig saur virtus, that you wouldnt get too much meat hunting small game. Also, it seems, has no part exchange value. Its value lies in its home defence, with adjustment you can even empty heavy .22 x 30 round magazine in less than 10 seconds in a faux semi auto mode at about 10ft+lbs. Regarding sighting aids, a red dot or laser accessory does the job.
This may sound realy dumb but i'm new to this and i'm planing to buy my first gun, HK416 A5 specifically, for simple backyard target shooting wich is better: Airsoft or the Airgun version?
Morning, try asking for spare parts From Umarex ! They couldn't supply me with butt pad for my Browningx blade 2 gas ram .177 even with me wanting to pay . Their excuse being it not being comparable with present existing model despite mine being purchased 2 months ago any ideas for finding a solution. Thank you
This is a disappointing rifle. The Crosman SBR & R1 functions are almost identical to a real world AR-15, minus the working forward assist. There is no BB rattle as they are stacked under compression in the magazine with the CO2 bulbs. The accuracy is more or less the same and there isn't a massive difference in price either.
@@FlyboyHelosim very underrated little gem those hellboys I have brothers in arms 1 think there all same but love it I also have the sbr and this new hk 416a the sbr is a hoot but I reach for the hk more its fun as hell little effort and if it breaks I can just chuck lol I paid 150 for mine as there was no box lol
SBR is nice, accuracy pretty good for a BB, but the problem is the huge waste of CO2 on it… You do need two 12g cylinders in order to work, but the gun stops working way before they are close to be empty and it’s even dangerous to replace them without getting frostbite…
@Crottedenez1000 the SBR and R1 will both run off a single CO2 capsule. I've done this with my R1, and it runs pretty well. I haven't had the issues with there being loads of co2 being left when I change them. I did get a sticky bolt once that made it seem that the co2 was empty when it wasn't.
@@buntron163 I’m honestly glad for you, if your R1 works this way. My SBR doesn’t ! I guess to be at some 1/3 of the gas left when it starts jamming. With full cartridges it works flawlessly and it’s great fun to spill BB’s all around in full auto mode ! (I don’t know about the R1, but the SBR mag has even an order in which the cylinders have to be introduced to not empty themselves right away…)
I love Ya!… but no matter how sexy the gun looks , that SHAKE, RATTLE & ROLL Reservoir for the BB’s is a immediate turn off for me… shakin around like that is a pet peeve, jjust design it to load in the mag , why make it any other way??
It looks great but I know it's useless......all I want is a PCP, AR style, pellet ammo, full UK power level that's accurate.... Sig, with the virtus was so close it hurts....and even they failed dramatically.... Huff.....one day
