Cyma/EMG Colt M715 1980 20.0 Lightning Series Gas Blowback Airsoft Rifle with Fixed Stock in Black
The Cyma/EMG Colt M715 1980 GBB is what happens when you take the rock-solid realism of a classic M16 and inject it with high-performance internals worthy of the modern airsoft battlefield. This full-length gas blowback airsoft rifle is built around a Tokyo Marui MWS clone system, making it one of the most dependable and immersive GBB platforms available today. Whether you're putting together a Cold War-era loadout or just want a hard-hitting, long-range rifle that handles like a dream, the M715 Lightning Series delivers.
This is a full-metal airsoft rifle through and through—from the receiver to the 20" outer barrel, every inch feels sturdy and period-correct. With the fixed carry handle upper and traditional polymer handguards, this rifle screams 1980s military aesthetics. It’s not just about looks either: the 500mm+ inner barrel combined with a rock-steady fixed stock means you’re getting improved muzzle velocity, tighter groupings, and greater accuracy at range. We’re talking serious stability for players who value precision over spray-and-pray tactics.
Internally, the M715 houses Cyma and EMG’s “Lightning Series” upgrades—reinforced components that enhance cycling response and durability. Expect snappy bolt return and crisp trigger break, especially in semi-auto. The MWS-style gas system improves gas efficiency and consistency, reducing cooldown even during rapid firing. That means no sluggish shots or jamming mid-mag—just reliable performance skirmish after skirmish.
The rifle cycles beautifully, with a strong recoil impulse that feels meaty but controlled. At around 2.9kg with the mag inserted, it’s got heft—but that weight adds to the realism and helps manage muzzle climb. The recoil doesn’t bounce the barrel around like lighter builds can, giving you better shot follow-up, especially when tracking targets during semi bursts or short full-auto engagements.
The fixed iron sights are more than just a throwback—they offer a genuine advantage. With the extended sight radius of the carry handle and fixed front post, you’re getting less angular error and a faster, more natural sight picture. That’s a real asset when you’re moving and shooting or engaging at range. And if you want to add a suppressor or tracer unit, the 14mm CCW thread is ready for it.
Gas-wise, this rifle plays nicely with all Tokyo Marui MWS-compatible magazines. The included 30-rounder feeds cleanly, seals tight, and synchronises perfectly with the bolt and nozzle setup—so you’re not dealing with the usual feeding quirks some GBBR platforms suffer from. And if you need to tweak the FPS, the built-in NPAS compatibility gives you power adjustability without the need for aftermarket parts.
Performance-wise, it clocks in at around 360–400 FPS on 0.20g BBs, putting it in the sweet spot for outdoor skirmish use. The adjustable hop-up lets you tailor your BB flight path for various weights—go heavier for tighter groupings and better wind performance. Combined with the long inner barrel, this hop system gives you a flat, consistent trajectory that stands up to longer-range play.
This isn’t a rifle for everyone. It’s for players who want realism—who want that classic M16 heft, solid gas blowback action, and reliability that holds up over time. It rewards precision shooting, tactical movement, and a bit of finesse. If that’s your playstyle—or you’re building a retro or milsim loadout—you won’t find a better GBBR for the role. It’s mechanical, deliberate, and deeply satisfying to run.
