Wegalaxy Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) Hello, I love vorsk, I have had a vorsk pistol for a while and its held up well so far. Only a few parts broke which were covered under warrant. Now I want to get one of their glocks. So I am tempted by the red match EU17. https://bbguns4less.co.uk/products/vorsk-eu17-vented-gas-blowback-pistol-in-red-black.html And by the red match EU18. https://www.defconairsoft.co.uk/product/vorsk-eu8-vented-red-match/ I am more swaying to the EU17 but whats with the huge price difference? (EU17 £130 EU18 £90) Is the EU18 made of less quality parts or something? If anything I though the EU18 would be more expensive. Or is it because the EU18 is less desirable? Just need the communities opinion before I make this purchase. Thanks Edited February 20 by Wegalaxy GAq 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enid_Puceflange Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) Well, you are being suckered by bbgnus4less unscrupulous marketing strategy …… Their pricing is high for some items from the offset so as they can legally show a massive reduction eventually, fooling a novice player/purchaser into thinking there is a genuine saving there Looks like Defcon are on the right page I Haven’t analysed the specs of either of the replicas to compare products for pros n cons But the former of the two retailers, seldomly comes up with a bargain 😉 Edited February 20 by Enid_Puceflange Rogerborg, Cannonfodder and Galvatron 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when there are far better and more reliable options available in that price range Rogerborg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad dog 49 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I've got a G&G GPM92, a Novritsch SSP1 and a recently purchased Jag Precision Pit Viper, granted all of them cost a smidge more than the Vorsks mentioned, but I've had the GPM and the SSP1 for years and they have been heavily used. Not one single part of either of them has ever needed to be replaced because it had broken. I'd maybe consider trying a different brand of Glock 18 mate, sure it may cost a little more but think of your time and the fuckery involved in changing out broken parts vs spending a little more in the first place.

GAq Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 The vorsk eu 18 caught my eye it seems like a good pistols . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rogerborg Posted February 25 Supporters Share Posted February 25 To be clear, Vorsk is a Nuprol sub-brand, like Raven. That means it's the cheapest 3rd party vendor trash, plus sparkle and marketing. That's not to say that they're bad value. £80 for the EU18 Match pistols actually make sense, especially when you factor in the optic, magwell and 14mm CCW adapter. But "good" is a stretch. Once you're into 3 figures, I'd suggest looking at Tokyo Marui instead. Enid_Puceflange 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emilianoksa Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Pay a little more and get a WE Glock. They are generally well regarded. Nick G and JinxDuh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatboy40 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 @Wegalaxy I don't know if your forum name is a clue but if it is then you've already got a pistol that's better than a Vorsk EU17 / 18, with the magical AAP-01 being a further step better but costing way less. If I was you I'd be checking what type of mags your WE Galaxy takes, not sure if it's the gen 4 or 5 gas router, and buying a WE Glock that uses the same. However, the hop unit in the WE Glocks is a bit pants, nowhere near as good as that in the AAP-01, so to lift heavy BB's you'll want the Maple Leaf hop unit (which my son has in his WE EU17 using 0.32G BB's, and you can then go further with a Hadron Fang / H plate).
