are VFC airsoft guns solid & reliable

Im a first time buyer and am looking for some experienced airsoft owners opinions on VFC products . Are they of great quality & reliability. Money is not really a concern if the product is of quality. Really looking for a HK 416. Which manufacturer would be best " VFC " or ECHO 1 . thanks for your input boyz.

VFC makes the best 416 on the market. they do have plastic internals, but they work for what you get. in that they are designed to handle the gun in its stock form. that being said, the 416 shoots over 300fps in its stock form. you also get one of the nicest metal bodies on the market.

well to tell you the truth, everyone i have spoken to regarding the VFC internals dont complain about them. i would personally leave them as they are. throw in a TB inner barrel and you will be shooting around 350ish cause it shoots stock 335ish. that being said, yes, you can swap internals, but the VFC 416 uses a custom V.2 mechbox that has some special feature that is essentially just for show (i think it has to do with the charging handle or something, im not too sure). if you do switch the gear box, you loose this feature.

TB = Tight Bore barrel, and personally I wouldn't pay the price for a VFC when I could get a completely upgraded gun for the same thing basing it off and JG or an Echo1

VFC is a good choice, but you might have trouble finding one in Canada with A&A shutting down.

Best bet would be to get age verified and pray someone sells one. Or sna one of the many JGs available right now.

right but JG = plastic body.
VFC = all metal.

my vfc 416 is amazing I could drop it off a building and it would still be rock solid. Also internally i've put 20 000 rounds through with only some minor problems with easy fixes. I'd recommend it any day

I got a VFC SCAR Light and I don't regret it at all. It's an amazing piece and I'm extremely glad I got it

JG = 400 dollars

VFC = 900-1000

You can find metal bodies for 150 bucks.

$550 you've got a 370 FPS firing gun, throw a bearing spring guide and a bearing piston head and you've got a reliable, hard shooting gun.

Shak, I can't it's Valentine's weekend. I'll be busy shooting with another gun

You go to AC games?

Also, I think VFC is the Systema of all cool guns.
