This Green Gas/CO2 operated GBB (Gas Blow Back) rifle is designed with a focus on realism in both recoil and handling, making it an attractive choice for enthusiasts of the genre who demand high-quality replicas.
Crafted from high-impact reinforced polymer, the PLR-16 features an aluminum alloy body, providing a lightweight yet durable frame that enhances the overall shooting experience. The rifle’s construction allows for both aesthetic customization and practical use with its modular design. The included polymer handguard can be easily switched between traditional pistol grip style or left open to present a more minimalistic appearance, allowing for additional accessories to be mounted on the MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail.
One of the standout features of the PLR-16 is its compatibility with WE AR/M4 magazines, which ensures that you can use your existing ammunition stocks without needing to purchase new mags specifically designed for this rifle. This versatility not only makes the PLR-16 a cost-effective choice but also streamlines your tactical gear setup.
The rear sight of the PLR-16 is adjustable for windage, providing users with the ability to fine-tune their aim and enhance accuracy across various shooting conditions. Similarly, the front sight shares similarities with traditional AR-15 style rifles, offering a familiar silhouette that’s easy to use and adjust for elevation.
For added convenience and practicality, the PLR-16 can be converted from pistol mode to rifle mode by simply attaching the stock adapter. This adaptability allows users to switch between close-range engagements and longer-range scenarios with ease.
In terms of performance, the PLR-16 delivers impressive results with a muzzle velocity ranging from 360-400 FPS using 0.2g BBs. The rifle’s blowback action contributes to its realistic recoil characteristics, providing shooters with a familiar feel that enhances immersion and training effectiveness.
The Socom Gear Keltec PLR-16 comes equipped with several accessories designed for both utility and aesthetic enhancement: a fore-end with a Picatinny rail on the bottom, scope rings, dynamic deflecting operating handle, and a single point sling. These extras not only add to the rifle’s functionality but also provide users with the flexibility to tailor their setup according to personal preference or specific tactical needs.
As an officially licensed Keltec product, the PLR-16 features full trademarks and is built to match the quality and standards of its original counterpart while offering enhancements that cater to the evolving demands and expectations of today’s airsoft enthusiasts.
