is it worth getting? I've been thinking of getting another M3 with quad guns but am thinking of trying the bravo team one instead, because it represents the M16, with beveled fold down sides (i know they don't fold down on the toy).

I know it won't be as detailed as the 21c model; the appeal is strictly because it's an M16, which is something a bit different. I've been shy about getting it up til now, due to the wobbley gun barrels but in pics i've seen of it recently on ebay, the gun barrels look pretty straight.....maybe the plastic quality is stiffer now?

Anyway, recommendation?

I bought one just to see how it looks and it was exactly the same m16 like 21st century bot with no cargo bags accessories.The paint job is like FOV 1/18 Shermans(no weather or mud).
however FOV tiger tank and Sherman tank were different than 21st century tanks,worth buying just to have a variant.
I did not kept the FOV m16 because it was the same thing than the 21st century,the company did not change anything to make it look different than the 21st century.
I can not remember the quad guns barrel plastic material.

I remember seeing these in person at Target a few years ago. Its one of only two Bravo Team vehicle types I have not purchased. It is different than the 21c M-16 as it has the cut-down sides and some boxes on the rear of the vehicle. It is similar in looks to the FOV 1:32 M-16. Otherwise, it is significantly less-detailed than either the 1:32 FOV vehicle or the 21c 1:18 version. The dash instruments are a sticker and the seats are not seperate pieces. Like most Bravo Team vehicles, it was built for overall durability, not so much detail. One positive point is that the ammo boxes are removable from the guns (I think). With some weathering, figures, and accessories added to it, the vehicle could likely be made to look pretty decent.
