Wyhaq unboxes the G&G TR16 America’s 250th Limited Edition AEG, produced to celebrate two and a half centuries of the United States. For those who possess an unusual passion for cardboard, the presentation box itself offers a patriotic layout complete with historical quotes. This particular model is rather scarce, being one of a restricted batch that managed to arrive on American soil just ahead of the July fourth celebrations.

Inside the packaging, Wyhaq uncovers a selection of paperwork and accessories, including a warranty card and an instruction manual appropriately clad in an American flag design. A notable inclusion is the thirty-round magazine, which features three-dimensional replica cartridges visible through the casing, though this aesthetic choice unfortunately leaves rather limited room for actual BBs. A certificate of authenticity verifies the specific production number, accompanied by a gold-coloured muzzle device and a specialised spring-change tool.

The rifle itself is heavily customised with a glossy, slightly sparkly red, white, and blue paint scheme, complemented by numerous shiny gold accents on the controls and barrel. The designer even went to the effort of adding raised, three-dimensional gold stars along the handguard, alongside laser-engraved patriotic text and national symbols on the stock. Dual-functioning flip-up sights provide both pistol-style fibre optics and traditional rifle apertures, ensuring flexible options for aiming.

From there, a quick battery test demonstrates the rifle's swift trigger response, courtesy of its pre-installed Gate Aster electronic system. Operating on an eleven-point-one-volt battery, the mechanics produce a brisk cyclic rate without the presenter needing to dismantle the gearbox, a task wisely avoided on such a limited collector's item.
