Gas Blowback Assault Rifles

If you're seeking an SA80 to complete your Squaddie kit, the WE L85A2 SA80 Replica GBBR is as realistic as they come! This full metal gas blowback rifle is constructed predominantly from stamped steel with an alloy outer barrel and olive green polymer furniture; a fantastic match for the real steel L85A2 as it was originally issued to the British Army.

Whether you're getting involved in Milsim skirmishes or want a realistic platform for training, movie making or display, the WE L85A2 is the one to go for. It kicks like a mule, operates almost exactly like the real thing and is made with the same proportions of metal to polymer as the real deal.

Compatibility-wise, the L85A2 takes WE Open Bolt M4/AR-15 magazines and VSR/GBB type inner barrels and HOP-up rubbers, meaning mags are common and a reliable design and you have access to some of the best aftermarket barrel and HOP-up bucking combos so you can maximise your accuracy and range potential. If you like to challenge yourself in game with 30-round mags, shoulder-thumping recoil and a realistic manual of arms, the WE L85A2 SA80 Replica GBBR is the way to go!

If you're a realism seeker looking for the next step up from an AEG, the WE M4A1 Open Bolt GBBR; V3 System has your name on it! A considerable improvement over the previous WE Open Bolt M4 GBBR, the V3 improves reliability with choice steel internals, reinforcement in key places and a full internal redesign resulting in better rapid fire performance and long-term durability.

The most notable redesigns are its steel valve knocker and steel bolt catch contact surface, solving known issues with WE's previous designs and avoiding the immediate need for upgrades or bodge jobs. The trigger group has also been considerably reinforced, but the inner barrel and HOP-up bucking are still GBB/VSR spec, giving you access to some of the best upgrade parts in the business if you want to improve accuracy and range. The stock inner barrel is also now a 6.04mm tightbore, replacing the 6.08mm standard bore barrel of the previous version.

If you prioritise realism and like to work hard in-game like the real warriors do, the WE M4A1 Open Bolt GBBR; V3 System should be on your shopping list. With realistic 30-round magazines, violent recoil and a manual of arms almost identical to the real M4A1, this is a primary for the pros!

If you've got an AEG and are looking for the next step in your Airsoft journey, the WE 4168 Open Bolt GBBR; V3 System is calling your name! A full metal 416 replica which puts realism first, this hefty platform boasts a steel outer barrel and gas block to provide the most immersive experience possible, not to mention its violent recoil and 100% realistic manual of arms. As a training tool or a skirmish primary for realism nuts, the 4168 is at the head of the pack, made even better in its updated V3 iteration!

If you love a rare, unique platform with AR-15 lineage, the WE KAC PDW 10" Open Bolt GBBR should be in your sights! Based on the Knights Armament PDW, a design which was way ahead of its time, this hard-kicking GBBR is at the peak of Airsoft realism, boasting a realistic manual of arms and an incredible, immersive experience with each trigger pull.

The real KAC PDW was conceived as an answer to the problem of how to get better terminal ballistics from a compact, short-barreled rifle. This was achieved with a new cartridge, 6x35mm, with a shorter yet higher mass projectile and 70% reduced recoil compared to a 5.56 M4A1. Despite reaching its benchmark, the PDW was only adopted in small numbers, but later in its life, it was rechambered for the currently trendy PDW round, the .300 Blackout.

While WE KAC PDWs are a rarity on skirmish sites, they have plenty of perks compared to M4/AR-15 GBBRs. The PDW platform is lighter, slimmer and more compact than almost any M4 configuration while sharing its intuitive fire controls with added ambidextrous functionality. Its bolt carrier is smaller and lighter than an M4 bolt, resulting in incredible rapid-fire performance, rivalling the legendary GHK G5. If you love the GBBR experience but want a rare, modern-retro build which will turn heads, the WE KAC PDW 10" Open Bolt GBBR is ideal!
