VFC Airsoft GBB M733 & Mk18 Mod 1 Review: Infinite Possibilities

[@ExplosiveEnterprises]

As usual, we have a few notes that came up after filming: -After editing, we removed the forward assist to swap it out, only to discover it’s entirely fake. It has no hook to interact with the bolt carrier, and the design is different enough that it cannot be made to work. A real forward assist is drop-in and does function as it should, turning minor malfunctions into major ones at the press of a button. -We forgot to mention that VFC HK416 magazines are known to have issues with sealing. Stick to Gary or the new T91 magazines. -The new Unicorn GBB bucking, 60D, has comparable accuracy to the W-Hold but better consistency in amount of hop applied, and is easier to fit in the VFC hop unit. -A few of the ARs, like the HK416, have a separate pin to secure the hop arm which can wobble and degrade accuracy. Replacing the pin with a 8mm x 2mm roll pin (it will take some force to install it into the hop arm) fixes this. We’ll update this comment with any further developments or clarifications.

[@Pick4Green]

Nice video. I don't think I've seen it, but "One piece outer barrel" don't work with the specific VFC guide hop, you should buy GHK 2022 hop unit to adapt with it if I remember correctly

[@macgriggs9350]

I would bet money that the reason the forward assist isn't funtional is bc they know people are going to break their nozzles by pushing it during a malfunction. So they disconnected it. VFC knows us gorillas all too well 😂

The TM M733 AEG that debuted just after the G36C so many years ago was my 2nd airsoft replica. it's got a special place in my heart.

[@LordJameh]

This video was very informative, and useful in a way to me that it probably won't be for anyone else I was having issues with my VFC Scar H magazine leaking, and I've been waiting for a proper valve key to arrive. Seeing your takedown of the magazine for this gun, it looked very similar, so I went to take apart my mag to see how similar it is. In doing so, I discovered that the internal o-ring on the knocker valve had moved, and that's what was causing the leak. So I adjusted it from the bottom of the magazine, as it doesn't quite come apart in the same way, and bang, problem fixed. Thank you for giving me the courage to understand the gun I have, and thank you for the amazing very in-depth content 👍

[@BadaBingPictures]

Amazing work, gents! Came for the GBBR’s and left with interesting AR history that rivals Small Arm Solutions.

[@Geoffvader]

Great video - My M733 had some funky issues out of the box which I'll post here for anyone interested: 1) the nozzle would push loaded bb's beyond the hop contact patch while firing, resulting in inconsistent hop and bb's rolling out of the barrel. This was rectified by concaving the nozzle outlet significantly using a deburring tool and sandpaper. 2) As shown in the video, my bolt carrier cracked too. Although it was after two games which was disappointing... 3) It only likes to use 70D hop buckings, any softer and bb's will get jammed below the bucking upon loading, followed by the bucking lips folding and subsequently tearing.

[@its_my_purpose_gaming8928]

mine has crushed bbs into the lower and disabled the trigger twice now when I tried to fire auto... and yes if I don't have a ton of hop on bbs roll out or shoot at like 150fps

This is the big fat juicy long form XE review I've been waiting for, especially since I'm considering options for a new GBBR and I was already heavily leaning towards a VFC V3 AR platform I will never stop watching and reccomending the videos on this channel, whether they're 2 minutes long or 2 hours long Would be nice to see a video introducing us to the rest of the XE crew, and maybe a short list of the best / worst GBB guns they've all owned / used As always thanks for filling the void in the GBB youtube content, you provide something that nobody else does, and that the whole community craves Keep up the good work, and godspeed 🤙🏼

[@thisisbadstuff]

The offset nozzle has been that way since WA and carried over to basically every WA derived platform, be it VFC, GHK, or Vipertech. It's mainly there to account for the dust cover latch clearance indention on the right side of the carrier.

The detail you went into with the externals as well as the internals with cheap fixes as well as other parts you could buy to improve performace was amazing. With the whole price match up at the end was amazing and shows that you have done an extensive ammount of research for this video. Just an outstanding video well done keep up this amazing content and you have got a sub and a like from me sir 👍👍

[@mareklesniak8768]

VFC V3 URGI 10.3" version also has steel barrel (same design, with aluminium add-on and that new hop-up adjustment). Although those steel components are not that bad, they are noticeably worse compared even to cheap real steel mil-spec components so I suggest to swap them out. Trigger especially, because it doesn't have polished sear surface, so its operation is far from being smooth. The hammer has to remain from VFC because the real one differs in some key areas and it won't work correctly. Also, keep the original auto-sear as real steel mil-spec, although it fits, it's upper tab is a tad too long and will break after several shots, probably from hitting the BCG where it shouldn't (yeah, guess how I know that...). Auto-sear pin also has to remain original from VFC as the hole is on the smaller side of mil-spec so real steel won't fit. Real steel mil-spec mag catch spring won't fit, because the V3 valve knocker assembly has smaller hole for that spring, which is a bummer as the original from VFC is softer compared to real mil-spec and I think V2 valve knocker design can take real steel mil-spec mag catch spring with no issues. Mag catch tab and button both fit and work fine, though the button sticks out a bit more (VFC's is thinner). Real steel mil-spec bolt catch won't work at all due to ASG's fundamental design differences vs real rifle, but the spring also won't work (too long compared to VFC's). Overall, VFC might be done relatively well compared to other ASG but in absolute terms, their steel parts are made of low-ish quality (not bad but not decent either). EDIT: I suggest steel bolt carrier from Z-Parts. Based on some other reviews on YT, it appears to be of a better quality than the one from Crusaider.

[@yukiiwao5967]

I always look forward to you uploads and have been a massive help for gas replicas. The thorough videos are extremely helpful.

[@macgriggs9350]

I have the XM177e2 (which barring some minor external differences like no brass deflector and a teardrop forward assist is identical to the 733) and i can say my experience with it is consistent with your review. I keep it well maintained as per your GBB mainenance video. It is my most consistant rifle especially compared to my previous experience with KWA and GBB pistols. The thing just works. I will have to try that buffer swap as that seems like a game changer as well as your advice on the hop up and barrel. I you didnt mention it but locktite on the carry handle rail screw is also a must as the thing will come loose under recoil or gameplay. The ones on amazon can be hit or miss and I've been through a few but the best one has the name of "Toopmount". Just remember to get it very tight and use some locktite too and your good to go. The electrical tape idea isn't bad either. Another great review from XE

The M733 is a retro beast, always wanted one. Surprised at how it kicks and rattles during full auto - this would be a cool platform for a Blood Diamond build, I am South African myself 😅

[@peter11256]

So, VFC's ARs are light, pretty, really close to the real thing in terms of compatibility, have good recoil and operation feeling, and are priced very competitive. At what cost ? They shoot like crap and some parts break prematurely sometimes. Tbh, that was exactly my sentiment as an owner. Awesome in-depth review as always, very entertaining as well. Congrats, pops!

Thanks as always for the in depth video! The information brought forward is much appreciated, including the info on the real thing 🙏 After watching this, I worry about some of the quirks of this system (mostly the hopup), but overall, I still think I’m gonna end up getting a V3 AR cause of the all around decent performance/realism/design. I might think on it a little longer though

[@stewbacca117]

The M733 was one of the most fun guns I've run and I kind of want one of my own, although my teammate's has also been chewing through BCGs. The guide hop is a great idea - I just wish they'd made the gas adjuster on the FAL drive a similar system... because that would be swish. No need for the faux piston, just more utility.

[@norbertcsorba4639]

23:45 update on my HK M110 A1 GBB, yes it can walk out, although looking at mine up close the o-ring looks a bit chewed up (the gun is brand new), so maybe keeping a pack of fresh o-rings on hand for VFC bolt catches is a good idea. Or maybe buying a real steel bolt catch?

[@merlinhopkins1089]

I did not know about that hammer screw thing. Will keep that in mind when it gets cold again.

Good video. Can't wait to try the 416 in the winter with the adjustment screw

[@kotwikotwi]

35:50 I've tried the real carbine buffer on both 733 and flat top sr16. It works perfectly on 733 or any carry handle models but remains about 5mm bolt bounce on flat top models. I highly recommend you try the metal camber if you can find them. It significantly reduce bolt bounce.

Finally some confirmation that the hop unit has issues. Was struggling alot with consistency in my BCM. Did you try to mod the hop arm by grinding it a little and glue a piece of rubber as nub on the contact point?

[@christophergoking]

My bcm mcmr shoots like a confetti gun.

[@jcreati0ns]

@@christophergoking I had the same issues. Tried the T&T unit and some other ML buckings. Nothing helped. I now have a new inner, stock hop unit with modded arm and a pdi w hold. So far this has been the best combination for me. But compared to my buddy with Mws, it's still awful.

[@christophergoking]

Well honestly youtube warned us about the VFC BCM MCMR vs the TM equivalent. Sadly vfc seems to be out performed by WE and other less heard of brands. My vfc g19x shoots better than ny vfc bcm mcmr but my clubmates WE pitviper shoots I would say 60-80% better than my vfc Im keeping my g19x but idk what to do with my bcm cuz its no good at games

[@christophergoking]

@@jcreati0ns found out I was given a V2 not the V3 of the bcm mcmr 11.5 But eventually I fixed the accuracy issue with a 300mm 6.01 inner barrel and a 70D silicone hop up rubber. I added an NPAS to shoot .40g and is ended up doing very well. Unfortunately I traded it in for a 14.5 v3 Negative note: The mag parts like the rubber orings and everything rubber makes me second thought owning a gbbr because its too much of a headache to have to maintain all these magazines and always have to deal with bloated and shrunken rubber parts without any supply of spares in the country. If I had an option to have it shopped every so often, Id like the platform, its very fun.

[@Scallywag_Actual]

Thanks for the review! Based on your conclusions towards the end of the video it seemed like you were saying the VFC GBB system is the best all around GBB AR option as long as you are willing to trouble shoot + tinker. Is that right? Would you say people who prioritize out of the box performance (but are willing to lightly tinker) should go for an MWS clone or would you say VFC is the best mid-tier option?

[@opairsoft8100]

They are about the same, just comes down to what you want more, realism or a little less realism

[@AntonChou]

On current V3 version ARs there are a few things people complain about: 1. 2-piece alloy barrel, even the steel version VFC makes has a alloy base. Breaks if the muzzle slams on something hard. Aftermarket one piece steel ones like Z-part is the usually go-to for upgrade. But it's not compatible with guide hop. 2. Horrible buffer design. Not only it does not look authentic, causing unnecessary stress on buffer tube, does not do what it's supposed to do(eliminate bolt bounce), it also tends to unscrew itself after some use. PITA if it disassemble itself inside the buffer tube. 3. Guide hop design, good in theory but often disappointing in execution. On most ARs it tends to walk itself loose resulting poor hop performance. On HK416s it's even worse due to the long flimsy plastic connector arm design. Only on MCX and MPX it's tight enough to stay in place under recoil, but poor hop arm design so the overall hop performance is still bad. Common practice is to replace the outer barrel and hop chamber altogether to fix both issue at once. In my experience GHK mod is not optimal due to the plastic construction and flimsy plastic hop arm, not ideal to lift BBa heavier than 0.36g. And it's not easy to center contact patch nor it's a drop in fit. Aplus ones and TNT ones both use proprietary bucking design so if you can't get replacement bucking it's a no-go. Also TNT's chamber is dimensionally incorrect, so the whole inner barrel assembly can slide forward and backward. Maple Leaf 's new chamber and unicorn bucking is the one I recommend if you want to go this way. Or buy ESD's ER-15 and use whatever bucking and barrel you like to unlock VFC platform's full potential.

[@AntonChou]

Two minor things I forget to mention: 1. Strange for you to call VFC's buffer spring weak. Maybe it's not as strong as VT but definitely stronger than something like WE , AMG or RA, not to mention GHK's puny ones. 2. Alloy trigger tends to bind up after some use, causing failure to reset similar to MWS one's. A quick filing or upgrading to steel ones should fix the issue.

[@fjjwfp7819]

Newer guns now come with steel chamber pieces like the 733 in this video, can be seen by the parkerized finish. The mk18 on the other hand is evidently a older sample with the powder coated alloy chamber still.

[@AntonChou]

@@fjjwfp7819 Good thing it will not shear off like the older alloyed ones, bad thing it's still a friction fit held together by two screws that needs to be checked periodically.

[@opairsoft8100]

416a5’s guide hop doesn’t undo itself from recoil Heck even the 417 doesn’t undo itself under recoil and that has close to twice the recoil of their m4’s

[@fjjwfp7819]

​@AntonChou people with steel barrel bases have reported no barrel wobble, likely due to better tolerances, and since it's now steel, the screws are usually torqued much tighter now and threadlocked so it's basically never going to loosen. In fact people have reported it to be the same difficulty to remove like the gas key screws even with heat.
