VFC Airsoft MP5 GBB Review

[@BadaBingPictures]

The finest VFC MP5 review on the Tube. Great work. Love it with the EOTech fitted. That would be where I’d want mine. Plus a SEF navy lower. Thanks for the shoutouts too!

[@jpisback]

As soon as I get mine, I'm replacing the slap with a real steel one. Shouldn't have as much issue with getting one here in the US, civilian MP5s are pretty plentiful here.

[@shelshoks]

You know you are doing a good job when BadaBing say your review is the best on You tube. Love BadaBing videos and Explosive Enterprises

[@MrJose786]

Please don't stop making vids!!! I'm so happy you chose to do a review and full comprehensive breakdown on vfc mp5 it is so useful considering there is not a lot out there on this gun, especially on how to remove the barrel.

[@chiehhan610]

Your reviews are always amongst the best on KZbin, thanks!

[@KhanSeb]

Great video as always. I find the VFC MP5 frustrating. They feel great in hands, but all the little issues they come with are disapointing, especially for guy with 2 left hands like me. And the stop on empty system is really a deal breaker for me.

[@sleazykilla360]

You are seriously my favorite Airsoft review channel. Keep doing what you're doing! I wish all the best for yall!

[@crocholiday409]

A master-tier level of review. Kinda want one now.

[@hgarza1136]

It amazes me that a airsoft company makes a better clone of the real MP5, then firearm manufacturers, and other airsoft manufacturers make of their .22 lr cloned mp5s.

[@d0mochi]

Lol where have you been? MKE, zenith and other manufacturers have been making mp5 clones, an actual real clone that fires live rounds.

[@hgarza1136]

@@d0mochi I am talking about.22 lr clones,not 9mm. The point is that they make a bunch of.22 clones that don't look as good as most of the airsoft clones.

[@sogerc1]

This channel is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I've put your previous video to good use too and now I have a nice winterized WE 416. Regarding to what you mentioned briefly, somewhat ironically the 2nd reason I bought an MP5 was the 3 round burst and well, I never use it. I can just put it on full and fire as many rounds as I want. But mine is a WE, that shitty bolt stop is unacceptable to me. And the mag holding 50% more BBs is also a plus.

[@andstriker]

Hey, I'm thinking about buying a WE 416, how's it been for you so far?

[@sogerc1]

@@andstriker Surprisingly good, might just be my luck but to be fair the WE GBBRs I bought this decade has been better than the ones I bought in the previous.

[@ivanthehunter3530]

Three round burst, or burst fire in general, is in real life a substitute for training. The Burst setting on firearms is for more untrained soliders. The burst setting allows for an increase of hit probability, at range, without the risk of firing to many rounds, causing recoil to drift the sights to far away from the target, wasting ammo. This whole burst firing process is accomplished on full auto with trigger discipline by a trained and experienced solider.

[@WolfMan-nf4lv]

Love your videos dude! This and Badabing’s recent praise on this gun has pushed me into getting a VFC when I eventually get an MP5. Just seems like the superior option to the WE, and it keeps on getting better as time goes on.

[@RudyWong]

The best full review I’ve seen in KZbin for VFC MP5 V2 ❤

[@pingu.0211]

Love these videos man. So much detail for people genuinely curious about the GBBR's youre looking at. Keep up the amazing work!

[@Gallacherboy]

6:30 that jig holds your sight post in as correctly stated in the review - my jig backed out during operation and some how pushed my Cocking Tube End cap out during operation. Luckily the screw in jig didn’t completely come out so I thread locked it after tightening it down - now I need to go back to the game site and walk around hoping I can find my Cocking Tube End Cap.

[@doodlepugg]

Gun companies need to send you and your buddies all the guns they offer. Watching all your reviews with actual real world knowledge and in-depth internal breakdowns is a breath of fresh air. Especially when compared to other certain youtubers who get sent hundreds of guns and just shout 'niiice' at every given detail. I'd love to see your input on the umarex G3 GBBR.

[@jakewilliams6347]

Im straight binge watching all of your videos, just getting into airsoft as a cheaper weapons training solution and the detail of these videos bribgs me no small amount of joy

[@josephxiong6476]

I've been watching your vids quite a bit now, and I have to say that your videos are just the absolute best. Just excellent. I learn virtually everything I need to know about the guns you review; internals, things to be mindful of in terms of where parts wear, and above all, recommended upgrade parts. Seriously, thank you so much for the tremendous amount of effort you put into these reviews. I find them extremely knowledgeable and informative. I also dig your sense of humor lol. Keep up the good work!

[@Holanduzo]

The bolt stop system is right the same as the MAC11 from KWA/KSC/Asg, however the G3 or PSG1 has that system from V1s and it works perfect in my PSG1

[@vyl-za]

This is quickly becoming one of my fav KZbin channels, I love you guys

[@stewbacca117]

They use letters that stand for numbers to obfuscate production dates or runs to those out of house or competitors. It's common engineering practise. People might have found out what the codes mean by now, but back then before such information leaked it would help prevent other competitors figuring out production dates or volumes as readily. 👌 It can also be due to some objects or products having larger arrays of numbers for other purposes or model designations, using one or two letters in a couplet makes it easier to differentiate production dates from serial numbers or other identifiers which have to remain numerical. Also if there are multiple producers making the same product the codes can help discern between them 🤔

[@cx3264]

This is really an underrated channel. It deserves more likes and subscribers

[@rickyricardo5441]

[@legoman07219]

[@Deus1236]

Excellent video with a ton of useful information. This is high quality stuff!

[@T7thK]

I had good luck with the Modify X-Range bucking in my VFC MP5 V2. Though I never did a proper comparison between the stock and the X-range, I can subjectively say that it makes the hop more consistent, and also gives better range. Great review btw!

[@xXYannuschXx]

Yeah, the stock buckings on VFCs look good at first, but the material they use is horrible; my friend commented how it felt like a car tire. The Modify buckings seem to be some of the best buckings on the market, imho.

[@ben_nerf_lego]

I love when you compares it to real guns unlike most airsoft channels

[@jeremiahataera4307]

Love your reviews and how too's, stoked I found your channel. Would love to an in depth review like this on VFC's MK18 V3 with their latest internals. Only if it sounds like something you would enjoy reviewing and are a MK18 fanboy like myself. Anyway, keep up the awesome work.

pls note to put loctite on the screw of the bowmaster nozzle. a user in the HRC experienced the screw to undo itself... now he is not able to dissamble the nozzle out of the BCG

[@samgao]

Best part about VFC Mp5's (well I don't know if Version 2 is like this) is that the Version 1 dimensions are 1:1, so replacement parts do not require you to buy from VFC anymore!

[@bratpollution1371]

Those 2 screws in the cap at 25:06 are no joke. Mine were thread locked. I was only able to get one out. The other stripped.

[@neilriley6037]

[@andrejbusin3508]

0:23 That reload tho mmmmmm smooth.

[@AWPtical800]

This is something that I heard from Ian McCollum, who ran a G3 at Finnish Brutality this year. A problem with at least the G3 is that you can insert a fully-loaded magazine on a closed bolt, but the strength of the spring requires you to give it a good smack in order for it to seat right. Easy enough to do while standing, but in other stances (especially prone) it's just easier to do The Slap.

[@Gallacherboy]

I love the Opposing Force references at the end, throw on a M203 - gas mask - Corporal Shepherd

[@bratpollution1371]

Great video! I needed this disassembly section 6 months ago as I figured it out. And ya that outer barrel thread lock to the hop up unit was real. Also, the Half Life reference lol. I’ve been modifying mine to replicate the game, and yes, it does have a 203

[@NomadikProd]

why does most of this feel like deja vu to me? The table, the attachments, the shooting range, the field, why do i feel like Ive seen these before? Even these words?! I feel I'm reliving it.

[@FeedMeChaos1]

Could be a few things like lack of sleep, lack of nutrition, medications or just the usual brain fuckery.

[@zulufox3466]

Incredible video as always.

[@Nivelle_le_Gris]

Another thing to note is that the MP5 has a roller delayed blowback mechanism whereas the replica is a direct blowback, hence the snappier recoil.

[@BirTek-93]

I have an Mp7a1 from VFC and its a beast.

[@SemperReloading]

The spring to push out the stock in the central hub can wear the lock position on the aluminium fork. I recommend removing the spring and tab. Great video! Looking forward to your G3 review.

[@irongiant6112]

as a note on the charging handle manipulation, on a real MP5, it can be a challenge to insert a full mag with the bolt forward, although its entirely possible there is some unit that under loads mags to allow for this style of reload.

[@TeoSVK]

Awesome video as always. You deserve more subs!

[@kalashniben9005]

been running an mp5 with comp m2, light handguard (now with upgraded head), and collapsing stock for years... hard to beat, so I had to get an airsoft version as well

[@jamesmichaelbalagat218]

Have you ever tried putting the head of the authentic Surefire on the VFC body? I hope they have same thread if it does the Surefire would fit and you can install the P60 led drop ins. Or try to put the Surefire body with head on the thread attached to the VFC handguard. Please let me know if it is compatible or not.

[@ExplosiveEnterprises]

Won't fit- putting a Malkoff P60 head on the VFC light was the first thing we tried.

[@jamesmichaelbalagat218]

@@ExplosiveEnterprises So the threads on both the body and the one on the handguard of the VFC is different than the authentic Surefire threads? I was gonna use a Surefire Z32 head on my VFC handguard but I guess it is now impossible since you just confirmed they are not compatible. sigh..

@@jamesmichaelbalagat218 Check out 42:40, where we talk about the Surefire flashlight. We no longer have access to the VFC light to test, but believe the threading was different- we are certain that none of the parts could interchange.

[@TyWilliamsson]

"and this is definitely one of the slings ever made." agreed

[@DutchessNDukes]

Just a quick note; while I have limited experience with the MP5, to my understanding, you had to lock the bolt back because a full magazine (30 rounds) would be much more difficult to lock in place in the magazine well if the bolt isn't back. That's why I figure the old "charge back once the new magazine is in" is so rare. Saw in the video that you used a downloaded mag. If possible, would you mind correcting me? Thanks. Genuinely curious!

[@ExplosiveEnterprises]

The magazine was actually fully loaded for demonstration specifically to address that issue; it may look downloaded because the snap caps are hard to see on camera. German-made MP5 mags are capable of loading to 31, with the idea being that you load to 30 and have a bit of extra room so that it can, if necessary, seat on a closed bolt (as well as avoiding fully compressing the springs). It is difficult, but doable, and if you don't apply force (or slap to confirm) the magazine may simply fall out. As far as the German policy-makers were concerned, it was better to have a manual of arms that is easy to teach and leaves no room for error than one which is theoretically faster.

[@DutchessNDukes]

@@ExplosiveEnterprises Huh. Thank you! Learn something new every day! Anyway, I genuinely look forward to your new videos, there's always a ton of information from you guys, andI hope to one day have you review a WE scar/ WE G36 because your methods for modding shit are just so forward thinking.

[@culley9505]

Mind me asking where you got your A2 Stock from? I've bought several from different websites at $50-75 a pop, and the end cap which slides inside the stock never seems to compress the recoil spring sufficiently to return the bolt carrier. Only putting the original stock back on will return it. Is there an aftermarket end cap I need for the A2 Stock conversion? I am at my whit's end trying to source it. Thanks for the great review!

[@MrThordy]

The HK53 will be a dream come true.

[@K_N.H.]

[@ZombieCleaner]

A full stock lipo mp5 with a red dot, dual mag, and light fore end grip would be sweeeeeeet. The thumbnail basically.

[@talesofgear]

Hi! Awesome video. Thank you! Are you familiar with the Devilhunter mod? Modding M4 green gas mags to take liquid CO2...Do you think the MP5 green gas mag could handle such mode? Could the stock nozzle handle the CO2? Thank you!

[@ExplosiveEnterprises]

DevilHunter modding /only/ works with GHK mags because of how their reservoirs are designed, with green gas mags using nearly the same reservoirs as CO2 mags. If you put CO2 in a normal green gas mag, it is likely to fail catastrophically and with significant risk of injury. All that to say no, definitely not- if you really want CO2, VFC makes CO2 mags for the MP5.

[@talesofgear]

@@ExplosiveEnterprises well, i have DH-modded GHK M4 mags and they work perfectly, no issues...DH mod allows to fill more CO2 in the mag than a 12g CO2 cartridge is...more shots per 1 fill= affordable in the long run...So i was wondering if i could mod the VFC green gas mags to simply continue use my CO2 refill setup. Since i have no experience with the MP5 mags yet, and can't find anything similar (except of HPA mod) done. I was wondering if it could work- would the valves hold up, the gasket on the bottom of the mag and the mag shell? I might try it out...just hope the stock nozzle can handle CO2 and that the knocker is strong enough to open the output valve...anyways, thanks for the answer :) keep up the great work :)

[@RedVRCC]

Damn that's badass. I wish LCT made gas versions of their guns, especially the AK-12. Idk if this is true but I've heard LCT outright uses real steel parts where legally allowed on their guns, such as furniture, pins, dust covers, etc. And where real steel parts arent legal or deviate in function, they still match the exact same manufacturing process. Though I don't have an actual AK-12 to compare it to, comparing my LCT AK-12 to a real steel civvie AK, the stamped steel parts are damn near indistinguishable and the gun's total weight is just about the same (HEAVY AS FUCC).
