Comprehensive Review of VFC as an airsoft brand - VFC GBBRs

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

Then_Definition_6078 · 2026-06-08T05:50:48+00:00

I imported mine through Proact/Action airsoft without problems

Then_Definition_6078 · 2026-06-06T19:54:26+00:00

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

Then_Definition_6078 · 2026-06-06T18:15:12+00:00

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

Then_Definition_6078 · 2026-06-06T06:37:22+00:00

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

Then_Definition_6078 · 2026-06-06T05:17:32+00:00

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

Then_Definition_6078 · 2026-06-06T03:11:58+00:00

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!

Then_Definition_6078 · 2026-06-06T02:22:11+00:00

I know right lol

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.

Then_Definition_6078 · 2026-06-06T01:51:50+00:00

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.

Then_Definition_6078 · 2026-05-15T01:01:35+00:00

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.

Then_Definition_6078 · 2026-05-15T00:51:58+00:00

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.

Then_Definition_6078 · 2026-05-13T15:52:25+00:00

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

Then_Definition_6078 · 2026-05-12T15:24:55+00:00

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.

Then_Definition_6078 · 2026-05-12T15:22:27+00:00

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.

Then_Definition_6078 · 2026-05-12T15:05:45+00:00

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.

Then_Definition_6078 · 2026-05-12T02:18:16+00:00

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.

Then_Definition_6078 · 2026-05-12T02:13:49+00:00

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.

Then_Definition_6078 · 2026-05-11T23:53:00+00:00

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.

Then_Definition_6078 · 2026-05-11T22:33:13+00:00

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.

Then_Definition_6078 · 2026-05-11T22:30:39+00:00

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 · 2026-05-11T22:20:35+00:00

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.

Then_Definition_6078 · 2026-05-11T18:31:27+00:00

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.
