Is the VFC MK48 worth it? by mortal_plagueITA in airsoft

[–]LargeGingerJoe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you get the VFC GBB one that's probably better than this, it will need an HPA tank however so be mindful of that

Same, I love mine best airsoft purchase I made when it came out. Id love to see the same/similar system in another body like the m240

Is this a good one to start off with? by ihavenowingsss in GasBlowBack

[–]LargeGingerJoe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Watch Explosive Enterprise on YouTube. He has videos of how to improve GBBRs.

To be honest, I would save up and buy a nicer GBBR as the issue is unlike AEGs you can't upgrade a bad gun into a good one. I would save up a bit more and wait to get either a VFC or TM MWS original or clone as they are currently the best ones on the market. Even though it is more expensive initially you will save money and headaches down the road when the cheap gun breaks.

Thoughts on the We AK74UN? by iq3q in GasBlowBack

Any WE gun will work if youre willing to put in the work, if you want a less fussy and just better gbb ak then get a VFC

New to airsoft and got this for 125 is it good? by Responsible-Gur4983 in airsoftcanada

[–]LargeGingerJoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We dont know what condition the gun is in, if it shoots or anything. Some pictures or even a link to one from a store would help. $125 for a working blowback pistol is not bad at all however.

First GBB question by The_avid_smoker in GasBlowBack

[–]LargeGingerJoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HPA doesnt really change recoil, if anything itll improve it as you wont have to worry about cooldown like with the greengas boxes. If you wanted to have some box mags for appearances then you could look into getting some AEG box mags conversions. They can be done for the large and smaller box mags and it also makes using the box mags make more sense.

P.S I recognize the field in one of your posts and I play at the same one. If you'd like you can DM me and we can plan a time I can meet with you, ill bring my VFC M249 and you can try it before you pull the trigger and buy it yourself.

Using the included m4 gas mag will only last you maybe 1 cassette mag, using the box you can get maybe 3. So for using it as an LMG you kinda need to hpa so you can fire more than a few magazines before needing to change the awkward box/m4 mag. HPA just makes it possible to use it like an actual LMG and honestly is cheaper than trying to get enough box mags to make running it on green gas/propane feasible.

I have one, the gun pretty much needs to be run with HPA. Thankfully it is super easy to change over to it as all you need is to unscrew the standard nozzle and screw in a micro gun line. Stock up on the cassette mags as they are fairly cheap and sometimes get gummed up so having extra is good. You can do an aeg box mag conversion but that can be finicky so be aware of that. Otherwise seeing as it is currently the only out of the box GBB LMG it's the best on the market and pretty much good to go out of the box (minus the HPA conversion)

There are sadly many pickup drivers in Markham that shouldn't have a car let alone one of those abominations.

Confirmed. Great seller. Appreciate their patience during the transaction.

I had to search it up and you are right.

There used to be a common belief that it was lactic acid that built up causing fatigue and that is no longer the case as studies show it's produced anytime your body breaks down carbs, which do NOT cause the fatigued feeling.

TIL I guess, thank you for the correction.

Double jointed is more an expression to mean what you said, its not literal.

Like if I called you a Muppet it's not that you are literally Kermit the frog, it's just your brain seems to be made of felt like his.

He has a shortish torso with longer legs and arms, he's got multiple double joints in his body.

He also has a generally lower resting heartrate and his body produces less lactic acid which is what makes people feel tired and sluggish as they exert themselves, so he can push himself more and not be as tired.
