will be even better and I can’t wait to get it out to a
site and give it a proper run out.”
George: “It feels really nice and well balanced. The
mags seem really heavy but I like the 30rd capacity
and the ability to “dry fire” the rifle. The trigger pull is
very smooth.”
Personally, I’m very much an ERG fan and never
have been much of a fan of gas rifles but this one
appealed to me. The rifle was paid for by me, so I’ve
put my own money into the purchase of the rifle and
magazines so it’s important to give it a fair run and
see if it will make its way into my “skirmish/MilSim”
armoury. The LM4D is going to take a bit of getting
used to and once it’s “worn in” a bit, the better
weather is here and I can take it to game days to give
a proper test under skirmish conditions, then I’ll have
more of a rounded feel for the rifle. Some players at
game sites will also be offered the chance to take it
out for a game to give me their thoughts on the rifle.
Watch this space for a “RELOADED” feature in the
coming months.
My thanks go to Joe at KWA UK for getting the rifle
in for me and to Paul for letting me use StrikeForce
complete the drill. With the LM4D’s magazines being CQB for the range time and venue for the photo
as heavy as a full real magazine I didn’t want to let it shoot. AA
just hit the floor, so the mag dropped clear and onto a
couple of old jackets in a box at waist height.
Next was a test at longer ranges up to 30m at
StrikeForce CQB. Being indoors there is no play
allowed under the current (at time of writing) Covid
rules but as this was for work, range testing and
taking of photographs was allowed. Setting up a
handful of 60% IPSC targets (slightly smaller than
an A3 sheet of paper) at varying ranges I gassed and
loaded the magazines and completed some basic
drills. Once the hop was dialled in for .25s and was
past 30m, the LM4D was easily able to hit the target
accurately out to 25m with “double taps”. I’m going
to be doing more tests when the airsoft sites are
fully reopened and will revisit the tests in a future
RELOADED article.
I’ve had the opportunity to, socially distanced of
course, let a small number of people handle the rifle
and give me their initial thoughts;
Tim: “I’ve honestly not handled an airsoft rifle that
feels as good as this. It’s rock solid, no wobble at all. It
feels slightly light on the recoil but it’s very nice!”
Paul: “I think when the hop rubber wears in this

“I GASSED AND LOADED THE MAGAZINES AND COMPLETED SOME BASIC DRILLS. ONCE
THE HOP WAS DIALLED IN FOR .25S AND WAS PAST 30M, THE LM4D WAS EASILY
ABLE TO HIT THE TARGET ACCURATELY OUT TO 25M WITH “DOUBLE TAPS”.”
