Yes mate, it looks awesome and can’t wait to get one to go with my MP5.
That’s going to be extremely unfortunate if it is the case and they’ve been released with this issue. VFC are still trying to recover their reputation with regard to their GBB’s from the poor stuff they released in the past. Like the first gen MP5’s and G36’s. It’s still one of the reasons many of the stores won’t stock them, because their reputation isn’t great, so people are reluctant to buy. Which is a shame, because they’re one of the few manufacturers willing to make more than just another M4. But, that’s possibly why they have issues. By having a wide range of GBB’s they aren’t fine tuning their products. I guess we’ll wait to see the YouTube reviews of the HK53 when they start to come out from people who’ve bought them.
In fairness to the company, their FN FAL seems to have had good reports for the first batch.
G3 superb , BCM superb , M733 superb , FAL superb , XM177 superb , APFG MCX again superb but people like to harp on about older gen stuff or repeat things like "GBBs don't work in winter" or "TM never have QC" issues . The earlier VFC GBBs for sure had some issues and especially the gen 1 M4 but most others are blown out of proportion . The AEGs on the other hand ..... Bit more of a lottery
Not at all mate. Like all my other stuff, it’s primarily for display, collection purposes. While I have it, it’ll be luck to have more than a couple of mags worth of bbs through it. As others have said, VFC have produced some outstanding products over the last couple of years. I’ve had quite a few of them and never been disappointed with them, for what I use them for. If there are issues with the HK53 it’s unlikely to be a problem for me. Most of the concerns people have regarding VFC are based on earlier products. And anyway, if anything fails, as is a genuine possibility with most airsoft guns, especially GBB’s, then VFC are pretty good at producing replacement parts.
In that case it doesn't really matter if it's shit or not. I buy guns to shoot people. ?
Yeah, not great, but it’s better than running the risk of Customs destroying it because I’m using a re-enactment society membership as defence. If I knew it would get through without any issues I’d order from one of the Asia stores, but I get the impression Customs just look for any excuse to prevent scary toy guns getting into the country.
It's the same design as the G3 . Just one guy who hadn't used one before refused to read an instruction manual before uploading to YouTube. I'll do an in depth review and update over the years like i did with the G3
