Airsoft VFC Colt M16A2 V3 GBB Review

[@Airsoft_Chay]

As a few viewers have pointed out, some of my videos are a little dark, the lighting issue is an ongoing problem that I am trying to deal with! Thanks for your understanding! PS, if you have any good idea for lighting let me know lol. Join Heavy Recoil Club! discord.gg/heavyrecoilclub

Using a white drape instead of a black one is a simple way to enhance the contrast between the foreground and the background. Light diffusers are pretty inexpensive ways to illuminate without causing glare, too. Vid still great though as usual so thank you. The VFC QC seems so erratic with large degrees of variance from gun to gun and model to model. Makes me leery of committing too much to them though I do enjoy the Scw. I wonder how many of the replicas reviewed are actually kept?

[@Airsoft_Chay]

That’s a good idea, I’ll look into it! Thank you, I really appreciate it. The QC is definitely something that can be improved, although it is very good, it’s not as good as TM though. I would still invest in the platform! The replicas that I still have are the VFC HK416A5, VFC MP5, VFC FAL, and Lambda Defense GHM9.

HECK YES! Been waiting for an independent review of this from NA. As for the accuracy issue, as these are the same as their M6A1s, is putting a different bucking enough to fix that? Or also changing the inner barrel? Explosive Enterprises also had bad groupings at range with the A1 and fixed it with new IB and bucking. 4UAD recently posted a review of several VFC ARs, including this one. They suggested a destructive fix by filing the hop arm to be smaller and to file a curved groove parallel to the barrel. Can't wait to get mine as soon as my local store has them in stock!

[@Airsoft_Chay]

@@8man_01 Mine did not come with any accuracy issues. But most of the time, all you need to do is open up the hop up and make sure the bucking is seated correctly. If that doesn’t fix it, a new bucking would be the best idea. I also saw that video but didn’t completely finish watching it, their groupings at 30 meters or 100FT was not bad either, I think they were using .46s though. You will love yours!

[@HK-wq1ei]

you have a local store in the USA that sells VFC V3 GBBRs????

[@8man_01]

@@HK-wq1ei nah, asia. can't import directly as an individual so it has to go through an authorized importer/airsoft. it's a pain. I can get a permit to import but that's for every time i want to import a unit. and I can't just file the papers at a local branch of the agencies that would give me permission, because they don't have local branches. I have to travel to the capital to apply for one. and that's mentioning the customs red tape i have to go through, smh. it's why i'm envious of NA airsofters, or at least US airsofters. Canada seems to be quite stricter now, last i heard.

[@Airsoft_Chay]

@@HK-wq1ei Nope, no one is allowed to retail one here.

Did you fix the handguard wobble or is it common when it comes to m4 rails with the delta ring

[@Airsoft_Chay]

I did not, it is common even on the real steel!

[@MidWestJigga]

Iv found as well as the 4uad guys that the issue with the hop up being consistent is the hop arm it needs modified and will shoot dimes at 100ft mines shooting 40’s out to 250 and hitting a chest size target 10 out of 10 times

[@Airsoft_Chay]

@@MidWestJigga Yeah, usually there is just some misalignment in the hop up, all mine never needed any fixing, and all shot very accurately.

[@WolfMan-nf4lv]

Hell yeah, he got da A2! ✨ I ordered a Mk18, it should be here today! As far as the QC thing goes, I’m iffy on it but if the accuracy is the only thing that the QC is poor on, then that’d honestly make me grateful compared to GHK’s AK nightmare or even WE replicas

[@Airsoft_Chay]

Great choice on the MK18! Yeah as far as I have heard that is the only problem people seem to get. But from my experience of owning over 10 VFC ARs by now, I have never ran into any accuracy issues!

[@WolfMan-nf4lv]

@@Airsoft_Chay thanks! And yeah, if it’s something as simple as stripping down and reassembling the hopup and realigning the bucking like some people say, then yeah that’s hella easy for me to do

[@Airsoft_Chay]

@@WolfMan-nf4lv Yeah it’s one of the easiest take down. Just need some patience and heat!

[@김창윤-o6z]

Hello, I see that Redwolf is selling it for $499.99, and Proact is selling it for $ 463.08 with difference of about $37 dollars between the two stores. If the international shipping cost to the USA is accounted for, would the total price from the 2 stores be about the same? Also, how much is the shipping cost to the US if you happen to know. Also, are there separately-sold black-colored magazines for VFC M16A2 (both regular one and short one)? Thank you!

[@Airsoft_Chay]

Hey, proact does charge the G&S fees in the purchase as well, so it’s an extra 3% off of the 463.08$, which is 476.97$. The total cost for me to buy this on Proact and have it shipped to California was 601.87$. I think RedWolf has cheaper shipping costs as well so they kinda balance out, I haven’t ordered from RW before though. Yes there are black magazines but no short ones.

[@nik4nik]

do you know if there are any after market handguards made for the m16?

[@Airsoft_Chay]

@@nik4nik It’s VFC, so any real steel or real steel spec should fit!

[@guamjtm2024]

The A2 is ideal for GBBs. Fully automatic GBBs have cold magazines and are unreliable. The A2 is 3-burst! This reduces magazine cooling.

[@Airsoft_Chay]

The burst is definitely very efficient! I still prefer full auto and not being trigger happy with it lol.

How authentic does it feel? Is the front hand guard made out the real parts from the real platforms? Can I install authentic parts? How about the buttstock? Is is near exactly authentic or I it authentic? Can I install authentic parts?

[@Airsoft_Chay]

It feels great! As far as I am concerned, this is the most realistic airsoft M16A2 you can get. The handguard and stock feels great and realistic. Everything can be changed out with real steel parts!

[@varaz1470]

Great video The black background makes it a little hard to see the replica though

[@Airsoft_Chay]

[@hrldp4394]

g36 next? from vfc

[@Airsoft_Chay]

@@hrldp4394 I will, I already pre-ordered!

[@hrldp4394]

No way?? Nice!!! I will wait for it with impatience. I work with real ump 9 and g36 weapons, and the UMP 9 full travel kit upgrade was very correct and i did it to my vfc. It's nearly as correct as well. Only complaint on the ump 9 is that the magazin are in alloy whereas the real is in polymer For the g36, i have the luck to shot the real g36K, with the complete IDZ upgrade and an aimpoint. There is absolut no recoil on it. That was a police carabine mod so only semi and 2 round burst The g36c i see a lots of it heavily modified but i was not allowed to fire it. This is only for special forces here, and can be fire at full auto. For the record, clutch precision made parts for the g36 vfc: especially hop up and aluminium top rail (idz) I would said that the g36 is my favorit rifle but i have not it in airsoft. From a french fan 🇫🇷 thanks for your videos and i wish you the best

[@JonnyFiftySix]

Pls review the Krytac Kriss Vector GBB

[@Airsoft_Chay]

@@JonnyFiftySix Explosive Enterprises already made a great video on it!

[@meik4612]

Has nothing to do with the video, but you made me buy the KWA F90 ya basturd. Also just a thought: The whole black background is nice, but either adding more light in the showcasing or choosing a slightly lighter color in the back would show the black guns a little more efficiently. Not gonna lie on my phone I had a hard time seeing the gun in the beginning. But good stuff.

[@Airsoft_Chay]

@@meik4612 The F90 is a great choice lol. Yeah the lighting is an ongoing issue I’m trying to deal with, FDE replicas shows up just fine but when you have something with very dark furniture, it all looks really dark. Thanks for your feedback, I really appreciate it!

[@l1ma_v1ct0r3]

Its works similar to the VFC M733?

[@Airsoft_Chay]

The M16A2 does have a bigger and heavier buffer due to it being a full length rifle. But performance between the two is the same!

Hello @Airsoft_Chay After your use of VFC M16A2, would you highly recommend this product to anyone who likes M16A2 model and GBB rifle given this product's price (including the shipping cost to the USA from Action store/redwolf), quality, and performance? Would like to know your kind opinion!

[@Airsoft_Chay]

Hey @@김창윤-o6z, I would definitely highly recommend the VFC M16A2 to anyone looking for that model, it’s a very well made product. To get one imported and shipped into California, it costed me 602$. While that is fairly expensive, the replica is built very well externally and internally. The performance is also one of the best you can get out of most gas blowbacks.

[@김창윤-o6z]

Thank you very much for kind opinion! I do agree that it is such well-made product that shipping cost from Asia should be understood.
