About the G&G CM16 Raider Short

The CM16 Raider Short is an ideal choice for airsoft players seeking a versatile and lightweight AEG (Automatic Electric Gun) that performs exceptionally well in close-quarters combat (CQB) environments. Built with durable nylon-composite polymer receivers and a full metal outer barrel, buffer tube, magazine, and gearbox, this airsoft rifle strikes a perfect balance between strength and maneuverability. Weighing only 5 pounds and measuring 26 inches in length, the compact and lightweight design allows players to navigate tight spaces without sacrificing performance. The 6-position retractable crane stock provides flexibility for different shooting positions, while also housing the battery for easy access.

Equipped with a 7-inch quad rail system, the CM16 Raider Short offers ample room for attaching tactical accessories such as grips, lasers, flashlights, or PEQ boxes. The polymer construction of the rail system helps reduce the overall weight, making it easier to handle during long games. Additionally, the flat-top receiver includes a rail for mounting optics, providing players the option to enhance their targeting accuracy with a red dot sight or scope. The combination of customizable features and compact design makes the CM16 Raider Short an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced players looking for a reliable and adaptable airsoft rifle.

Internally, the CM16 Raider Short is powered by a full metal Version 2 gearbox, which ensures consistent performance and compatibility with a wide range of aftermarket upgrade parts. With a muzzle velocity of 330-350 FPS using 0.20g BBs, this AEG delivers impressive power for CQB play while maintaining a moderate FPS for indoor field limits. The hop-up unit, accessible by prying open the dust cover, allows players to fine-tune the rifle's accuracy and range. While it is optimized for use with a 9.6v NiMH battery, players can also use a 7.4v Lipo battery for improved trigger response. For those seeking even higher rates of fire, an 11.1v Lipo can be used, though it may increase wear and tear on the internals over time. The CM16 Raider Short is an affordable and capable option for airsoft enthusiasts who demand performance and durability in a CQB setting.
