Vorsk

[wmjttyers]

I'm relatively new to airsoft, been playing a year of so, and used tips from friends I know that have played longer i started getting in to GBB. Just wanting to know peoples opinions on Vorsk? Seen lot's of positive things about their pistols on social media and seen they have a new SMG coming. What are peoples thoughts?

Absolute trash unfortunately.

Very poor quality control, terrible materials. Avoid like you’d avoid something that need avoiding.

Have you had personal experience with Vorsk? Or just heard on the grapevine? Just i've tested some at a store and found now problems, if anything the complete opposite of what you've just said

You asked for opinions. I’ve handled several “nearly new” Vorsk pistols that failed within one or two uses.

But. if you’re determined, buy one and let us know. VFC are starting to get their act together, so why not Vorsk

Yeh, i'm just trying to find out more, not discounting your opinions at all, just had a few experiences of people not actually using the guns they are saying are bad that's all.

Testing them in a store tells you nothing about their durability and reliability; even WE Hi-Powers usually work when brand new.  I don't own a Vorsk, but I know of a couple of people who bought them; they lasted for a handful of games and then died.  There are also plenty of first hand similar reports on t'interwebs.

Remember that much of what you see on social media comes from either people with brand new toys or "influencers" ? who are being rewarded for giving positive reviews.

Do we know the OEM / branding chain with "Vorsk"?  I'm wondering if they come from the same toy factory as "Raven" single-use guns.

From what I can see online Vorsk haven't paid/ sent products to people to review. Maybe i'll bite the bullet (so to speak) and get one as they aren't too dear.

No idea, from what i can see from being in stores the build quality is completely different from Vorsk to Raven, I know they are both brands of Nuprol however

May be their own factory that produces them? Nothing similar to Vorsk out on the market really

What model are you looking at?

Unlikely if they're a sub-brand of Nuprol.

Maybe, but probably can say the same for majority of brands

Overpriced tat which falls apart very quickly

But it's less expensive that pretty much every other brand....

 

[RostokMcSpoons]

Sounds like you're keen to buy it.   I say "go for it" * and let us know how it pans out.   Always good to have some personal experience fed back to The Hive Mind




* As long as you can afford to "buy cheap, buy twice"

 

[Cannonfodder]

But it's less expensive that pretty much every other brand....

There's a reason for that. I'm not saying you should only buy the expensive brands, hell I love my cheapsoft guns and gear, but Vorsk is a make I wouldn't touch with a barge pole

 

[Rogerborg]

But it's less expensive that pretty much every other brand....

It's the same price as a basic non-tacticool TM Hi-Capa, and £25 more than an Army Armament R501.

I'd actually encourage you to go ahead and get one, because your error will be our data point.

 

[Shamal]

Yeah but what make is the barge pole? ?

 

[RostokMcSpoons]

£130 isn't all that cheap though.  Is it the split slide feature you're really keen on?   For another £30-40 you could have your pick of TMs... 

Edit:

Feck me, barge poles are pricey!

You could buy a Vorsk for that much

or you could all be wrong and it could be the best thing? who knows really, all comes down to how you care for it also

 

[Cannonfodder]

Are you actually asking for advice or just looking for someone to agree with you? If it's the latter you may be waiting a while
