NathyB Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 After looking for many hours on the Internet and forums I've decided I'm going to get a VFC HK416 C mainly because I like the trades and the externals seem very good I'll address any problems with the internals as they pop up and upgrade them, I've decided to go for this gun as I didn't want to buy say a G&G for £200 then buy this gun later and spend even more money even though the C16 looks like a great gun also the VFC is metal I'm looking forward to getting my ukcara next week and ordering soon proberly from JD airsoft as there local and same price pretty much every 😃 Any one recommend any good red dots etc ? Really enjoying researching stuff and ordering looking at the condor recon vest as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacarathe Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 You're aware Tokyo Marui make a 416C too right? Also, there are at least two versions of the VFC HK 416 trades, make sure you get the one UMAREX have not had their grubby mits on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Moderator Jedi_Master Posted June 4, 2016 Head Moderator Share Posted June 4, 2016 The HK416C is a great looking gun, the TM 416 versions do cost more but then you do not tend to many TM guns for sale unlike VFC/Umarex. No need to upgrade it as the internals are good from the box which is more far important than external looks for actual gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathyB Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 Yes other people have recommended this but it's not made of metal is it ? And has low fps and I think the recoil thing will be a novelty which will wear off fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And has low fps and I think the recoil thing will be a novelty which will wear off fast Well TM have proven FPS is not important, and recoil is a big deal for a lot of people. As for what it's made off, it looks metallic in all the photos and weighs 3100g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Moderator Jedi_Master Posted June 4, 2016 Head Moderator Share Posted June 4, 2016 Definately metal body and rails, with plastic (polymer) butt and pistol grip as per most guns. The sub 300 fps means that you can use the gun anywhere without worrying about trying to downgrade springs, etc, and it has a good hop-up that allows acurate shooting. My advice - carry out due dilligence and proper research before buying. http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/28697-tm-hk416-owners-upgrade-advice/?hl=hk416 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted June 5, 2016 Supporters Share Posted June 5, 2016 Umarex - Vega Force they make a few guns and they hold the trademarks n crap they make really nasty cheaper versions of the 416 & ARX160 (arx160 is availbe with $hite plastic gearbox, or metal gearbox or longer version that might have blowback but think still plastic receiver) but you should not end up with the wrong item if you read the items description correctly eg: http://www.landwarriorairsoft.com/airsoft-weapons-c38/electric-rifles-c45/umarex-vfc-hk416-p3178 or http://gunfire.pl/product-eng-1152201400-Heckler-Koch-HK416-CQB-carbine-replica.html http://gunfire.pl/search.php?text=umarex+416 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathyB Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 I'm going to get a Krytac nothing but good things said and out the box seems to be the better option and is cheaper than the TM apparently there's a Mrk 2 coming out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted June 5, 2016 Supporters Share Posted June 5, 2016 congrats on doing some research - if you splashing a decent bit of cash you will be quite pleased yup UK stock is a little limited on some models, a slightly cheaper version is on cards too really think it is mainly the tried n tested original stuff with a slightly lower price... yup if you can wait for next shipment and go for it - they are raising the bar and setting the standards now ok now blowback/recoil but to me and some others we may not really care too much for effects It is sound inside and well thought out - kinda like somebody done some tweaks for you already to go out of the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
