Two optics, six feet apart cos they're not gay

Too late, dog already shot

No it's not shitty, termite-riddled balsa. It's REAL WOOD

How do you chrono it?

That's being processed as an audio file on my phone, oddly. The trigger mech on the M249 is as simple as can be, so it's weird to have it fail. Try looking at the safety mechanism, maybe it's intermittently engaging and blocking the sear from dropping.

Real Wood is the funniest Airsoftism. It doesn't mean it's actually quality, but it's one step above Little Timmy's fake wood plastic toy so you can use it as a selling point, apparently.

4uad hopup + Unicorn 70* Comp bucking or Modify X-Range 70*. Still annoying that it needs those aftermarket parts, but they do at least fix the shitty stock hop.

Man I can't imagine plugging away at a replica for five years I'm ngl. I had an A&&K SVD and managed to get it to like, minimum BASR level of usefulness. Sold it after a year or so because it was so awkward to handle and just not that well built. There's aftermarket for basically every part of it from AirsoftPro in Czechia but after totting up the cost to make it theoretically shoot pure lasers mate no lies 200m flat I just sold it and built an ARBA gas sniper instead.

They're surprisingly comfy

Both options are good as a broad platform, but I will say the 416A5 is the worst VFC AR and would not recommend it at all

No

That's fucking hilarious

I had a Cyma springer for a while, and it was fine enough for cheap, but also partially glued shut and built in the most insane way possible. After a year it started just falling apart.

There is no surgery that can fix a ruptured eyeball.

Your eyes are worth more than £4 innit

They're a real pain to disassemble and work on. Lots of tiny screws holding fragile plastic parts. Fun for indoor play, not good for outdoor.

They only really bother with licenses for guns tbh. Where manufacturers have accessories they replicate those, but they don't really seem to go in for repros of tactical accessories. Based on the Armourer's Bench video it looks like the L403 is used a lot with Magpul SLK stocks. They probably just don't have a repro license for that and slapped the basic not-B5 stock they use on their AEGs/GBBs.

At least when I've seen similar camo stuff on the field, it tends to be very plasticky and weirdly sticks out more. Honestly scrim netting and some jjute gets you most of the way. Just gotta break up the outline.

VFC tends to do either licensed releases, or unlicensed. When they do licensed releases, like an official KAC L403A1 replica, they tend to make sure everything is above board. They get the rights to MLOK via KAC, for example, as they're reproducing KAC's design that in turn includes Magpul's MLOK IP. When VFC wants to do something completely unlicensed, they go to one of their shell companies, like Maruyama, APFG, or Star Arms. That way they can do B&T or Sig products without incurring the relevant costs or design oversight. For example, VFC P320s via Stark Arms or Parabellum run much better overall than the officially licensed Sigair P320s because Sig demanded they be designed for CO2 first and foremost as military/law enforcement training aids and Airsoft toys distant second. Generally KAC is not gunna want its officially licensed replica to have stolen IP from other companies, so you tend to get basic A2 grips and the like on them. Overall it tends to be pretty all-or-nothing in terms of replicas. That's before you get into companies that just hold licenses and outsource to companies like VFC, such as Umarex or Cybergun.

HK21 PDW is a hilarious concept, that's some great CAD work there though.

Oh. Yeah that sucks.

They don't have a Magpul license

Classifieds seem to be pretty quiet as well

The double barrel is quite well priced tbh. The Dominator is probably trading on it being unobtainium.
