Just after Christmas I picked up a VFC H&K 416 A5
It's a gun I have always wanted especially in the RAL8000 paint scheme! I ordered it online from Fubar Bundy, it was a little more expensive than other retailers but it was the only placed that had one in stock. However I had a nice surprise as not long after I placed the order Steve phoned me up to explain that I had over paid as the price had been increased on the website (to cover costs) so a customer could buy it on finance, which they never did. He apologised, and promptly returned me the difference!
Excellent customer service! ?
Anyway... I took it along to it's first game, and my first one of the year. I'll be honest I was really disappointed! Don't get me wrong this is a lovely gun to look at, and the build quality is superb/solid but the only thing that really matters is the shooting performance, which left a little to be desired. Maybe I've been spoilt with my mildly upgraded Krytac LVOA-S which even before it's upgrades shot much better out the box.
So although I found a gun that looked awesome, it didn't shoot awesome so I decided to go all out! I dropped it off at Dave's Custom Airsoft for a few tweaks...
* Gate TITAN Complete Set V.2 Advanced
* Tokyo Marui Samarium Cobalt Super High Torque Motor
* ProWin CNC HopUp chamber
* Prometheus Air Seal Chamber (purple)
* Prometheus Hop Up Tensioner (Flat Type)
* SHS M100 Tune Up Spring
* SHS High Speed Gear Set (13:1)
* SHS 14 Full Steel Teeth Piston With Aluminium Piston Head
* 6.03mm, Stainless Steel Tight-Bore barrel
Got it back yesterday, and it's a bloody monster! Cannot wait to get it out for some 'pew pew'
Sorry for the long post but I just wanted to give a little review along with the purchase. I will do an update after it's first skirmish!
Here's a couple of photos, and one with my trusty LVOA-S which sadly will be going up for sale shortly as I don't need two very similar AR platforms.
Thanks for reading chaps.
