The GSG-16 is a .22 LR carbine styled after the classic roller-locked German submachine gun, and that is exactly the appeal — the look and handling of a legendary platform at rimfire cost. It is a blowback semi-automatic with a 16.25-inch barrel in an FDE finish, and it is a genuinely good training and plinking gun: enough weight and length to practice real carbine mechanics, with ammunition cheap enough to shoot all afternoon. Rimfire guns reward good ammunition, so try a few brands to find what your particular rifle likes best.
