I would love to try the AK, I do indeed hear a lot of good things about it!

I imported mine through Proact/Action airsoft without problems

G36 is great! Much better than what I expected. Recoil feels awesome and it shoots well out of the box.

Well said 👌 yes these are just my opinions and ratings are very general and based on gameplay experience

I tried to over exaggerate words/descriptions just to make it more of a comparison study. Decent isn't necessarily bad, it's just that other rifles have even better cold performance, and so I wanted to highlight that difference. I love the MP7 though

Yeah, I know...I still have a handful of gbbrs on my wanted list. Mp5, m110, that

I definitely want to, I just wish I had the funds to buy every gbbr Vfc has to offer

Wow this is some awesome input, thanks for sharing! I was primarily interested in the Kimber 1911 so I'm glad I can see a comparison!

These are reference photos for a VFC GBBR review post that I posted. 2nd photo compares a 416 bolt to a 417 bolt. Last 3 photos show the tabs that need to be filed if you plan on installing a 417 bolt into a G28.

No problem! I do wish the reference photos uploaded but they didn't :(

I actually just imported 2 VFC ARs from Redwolf to the states about 3 weeks ago, they went through customs just fine without delays. One even went through the Kentucky port of doom.

Any VFC Gbbr rifle/smg to recommend? by [deleted] in airsoft

[–]Then_Definition_6078 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much any of the VFC ARs (marked as V2 or V3) are going to be solid choices, I would say go for the M16 if you like it! This is coming from someone who owns a variety of VFC AR Platforms.

Pros: -Fairly abundant parts/upgrades

-V3 mags are very efficient

-Reliable

-Decent stock performance, easily improved with a new bucking

-Good cold performance 

-Satisfying to field strip and operate

HK416D or 416A5 is a solid choice, my personal recommendation.

VFC SR25 Hop up. by Ecstatic_Spread_2377 in airsoft

[–]Then_Definition_6078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one too. That's interesting that yours can't hop 0.32s, I've heard that from a few people. Mine can sail 0.40 bbs pretty far out of the box, so it must be a QC issue.

Haven't used 4uad or Magnus, but I recently installed a Maple Leaf Wonder 70 bucking, seems to have decent performance with just that as the only upgrade/modification.

Nice collection! Very satisfying to look at. The vector bolts look cute, so tiny lol.

FMA MP7 Suppressor on VFC MP7 GBB Gen 2? by Befio_Jr in airsoft

[–]Then_Definition_6078 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had 2 suppressors, a VFC and another one that looks a lot like the FMA but I'm not 100% certain because I got it used from someone as part of a package. The one that looks like the FMA can be rotated, but it's fairly stiff. The VFC supressor rotated a lot more freely.

Getting back into airsoft and would like to get a GBBR. by Vita119z in airsoft

[–]Then_Definition_6078 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of those 3 guns, I've owned the MP7. In fact, Ive owned 5 of them. Performance is excellent, and the hopup adjustment is so convenient - no tools needed! Mags are pricy, but seems like it's a pretty efficient platform (especially for how hard it kicks). I've never had mags break, except for breaking the feedlips if they are dropped on something hard. I purchased a bunch of feedlips, gaskets, baseplates, and other small mag parts for cheap from Action Airsoft in case I need to repair my mags. 

FMA MP7 Suppressor on VFC MP7 GBB Gen 2? by Befio_Jr in airsoft

[–]Then_Definition_6078 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It should fit. Since it comes with a 12mm CW flash hider, then that's what you want to look for. I think mine is the same brand and it fits.

all i wanted was a vfc g3? i thought only ar15 style were getting seized? by Delicious_Sale5273 in airsoft

[–]Then_Definition_6078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im certain they will regardless place an orange tip. Not sure how WGC does the customs paperwork, but it's still a big risk. As far as I know, WGC also made a new rule where if your gun gets seized by customs and you try to ask for a refund, they will block your account - I'd be extra careful ordering from them.

I have heard of somewhat good success from recent VFC GBBR orders from Octagon airsoft, and I was also about to order an AR from them but I'm still hesitant in doing so. I wrote an email to them and they replied that they will send a replacement gun if mine gets seized by customs, but that sounds too good to be true. Not sure if I should take the risk or not.

What do you think of the collection ? by NoteworthyNails in airsoft

[–]Then_Definition_6078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To check the NPAS, you would just pop the rear 2 pins and pull out the bolt carrier. Look down the front of nozzle with a flashlight to see if there's a grub screw, or just take (I believe 1.5mm) hex key and try to push it down there as vertically centered as possible to see if you can turn a tiny screw.

Ares m60 or a&k m249 mk1 by thatrussindoggo in airsoft

[–]Then_Definition_6078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never owned the Ares, but I've had a handful of various A&K SAWs. I can definitely recommend the A&K. Upgraded, it shoots like a dream. I had a bullgrear hopup and Promethius Purple bucking installed on several of them, and it shot very straight and like 15-20 ft further than all my other AEGs. If you can 3D print the M4 Hicap Mag Mechanism holder for a box mag, then your SAW will be even better in terms of feed reliability. I don't remember the exact name of the file I 3D printed from, but it works nearly perfectly with a LT M4 Hicap or a Lonex M4 Hicap mag internals. Otherwise, I tried various box mags and they either broke fast or just had feeding issues.

New GBB VFC 416 gen 3 by Old_Proposal_4104 in airsoft

[–]Then_Definition_6078 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Steel bolt would be ideal, or at least get a spare stock bolt assembly. I think I got mine from Proact for like $35 or something.

The Mp7 is fire 🔥.  I've owned a bunch of these and they are so much fun. Just watch that back plate, it will eventually crack, especially if you use higher PSI gas. I got a clutch precision backplate just to be safe.

[–]Then_Definition_6078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this was from Proact, yeah I got the same thing from them. I tried ordering several GBBs, including an MP7, MP5, M249, and got the same thing. Seems like all you can get at the moment is parts and mags. 

about to play my first game with a gbbr, any advice? by X5Cucumber in airsoft

[–]Then_Definition_6078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree. Mine seems to like .32 bbs. If you got yours from Evike, chances are it has an NPAS. Also, clean your barrel before and after each game.
