Description
G&G RIFT Raider Airsoft AEG (Combat Machine – Fixed Stock – EGC-16P-RDS-BNB-NCM – Blue)
The G&G Raider is a compact M4-style electric rifle from G&G’s Combat Machine range, and this listing is the blue UK colour version with a fixed stock. The Combat Machine line is designed to be tough, dependable and affordable, making the Raider one of the most popular entry-level rifles from a top-tier manufacturer.
It shares its EGC-16P-RDS-BNB-NCM code with the blue CM16 Raider we already stock, which is listed with a MOSFET, a Version 2 gearbox and a 300-round magazine. The blue finish is a genuine blue colour, not black, as used on UK coloured replicas.
Build and handling
The polymer Combat Machine body is light and resists knocks, so the Raider is comfortable to carry all day. The compact front end with rails gives room for a torch or grip, and the top rail takes a red dot or compact optic.
This version is listed with a fixed stock, which gives a consistent cheek weld every time you shoulder the rifle. Please check the product images if you need to confirm the stock style.
Performance and internals
The Version 2 gearbox uses standard parts, so servicing and upgrades are straightforward, and the MOSFET helps protect the trigger contacts and improves trigger response. The adjustable hop-up lets you tune the rifle for your chosen BB weight, and semi and full auto are available.
Our other listing with this code gives the inner barrel as 235mm and the battery connector as a small Tamiya, and the outer barrel takes 14mm counter-clockwise muzzle devices.
Getting started
Charge your battery on a proper charger and fit it following the manual. Load a magazine and test-fire at a safe backstop, starting with the hop-up off and bringing it up gradually until shots fly flat. A few minutes of zeroing at the range makes a big difference to your confidence on the field.
Practise magazine changes and battery swaps at home, and get the rifle chronographed at the site before your first game.

Compatibility
The Raider accepts G&G M4 AEG magazines and standard M4 AEG magazines from most major brands. The Version 2 gearbox takes widely available upgrade parts, and the 14mm CCW thread suits most mock suppressors and tracer units.
Check the battery space and connector before buying a battery; the rifle uses a small Tamiya plug, so use an adaptor or change the plug if your battery differs.
Care and maintenance
Remove the battery whenever you are not using the rifle, and never leave a LiPo charging unattended. Run a cleaning rod with a clean patch through the inner barrel regularly to keep accuracy consistent, and only use clean, seamless BBs of a decent brand.
After muddy or wet games, wipe the outside down and let the rifle dry naturally before casing it. Check that rails, accessories and the stock are tight, and have any gearbox work carried out by an experienced technician.
Who is it for?
The blue Raider suits new players and anyone looking for a dependable, compact M4 from a well-respected maker, in a distinctive UK colour.
Please note: A battery and charger are not listed as included. Always wear suitable eye and face protection when using airsoft replicas.
