VFC released their HK416 already?
 

apparently VFC has already released their 416? This doesn't look like a proto. YouTube - VFC HK416

Repost but a good repost can't wait for some reviews.

Did they release it though? I thought they said it was due in late september >_O! fuck!

Wow, need to change my pants, that is a nice gun.

Maybe its just me, but does the mag in the gun look kinda awkward and not...right.

OOOO pretty pretty


Something calls for me to get back into airsoft


BAAAAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyone know if the real one has a floating barrel?

Man that looks alot like a M4A1..

Uhmmmmm didn't the # "416" gave it away?

I don't know much about the M4 series. I only play G36C's and Ak47s...
I didn't like M4's that much because so many people had one. It's everyones favourite gun in Counter-strike and seems over-played. Thats just my opinion. I'd go with a Mp5 instead.

Sunnuva B! HK doesn't even really have that widely available in Real Steel yet and there is a Airsoft verison almost ready for distribution! Acelerated development or what. VFC is comin' on strong to say the least.

I see... Dam I really want a Ak-74su with a surpressor.

HAha I want a Ak47 Spetznaz all in black + a silencer. Now that looks insane!

Picture from Rx78. I got the picture off him.
I've been trying to build a AK like that however I ended up getting a G36C...

GET SOME , VFC!!! hahah. They will end up dominating the market ;)

must have 416 now. i only hope its not as pricey as the AKS-74NU.

pfft, when it comes to cs its ak all the way... yet i hate the ak for airsoft...

lol It's horrible in zombie hordes. MP5 or M4, and sig226 ^_^!!

dust and water test

Pretty much.. 4 refers to the M4 and 16 refers to M16 hence HK 416

god damn the 416 looks better and better with the more media i see.

I ordered mine - should be here in 2-3 weeks.

It's not cheap though - $1032.00 including gst & shipping for the deluxe verison. But hell, it's only money.

uh..wow.. fuck that I'm just going to get a systema then...

with regards to the water test - what is it they might have done that a typical V2 design didn't? I wonder if any AEG could take a bath and keep on blasting. Seems likely to me.

Not a big fan of the markings for the non DX Version.

I just realized that it was a airsoft being dumped on with water. I saw that for a few times and couldn't understand why anyone would get a ghetto little red bucket of water to test a real gun.

Hurricane kit all the way... Approximately the same price purchasing all the parts but with way better quality parts... The kit from hurricane itself is so much better.

There is a review on arnies of this VFC gun... not to many people are happy with it.

How did you order yours? Through ASCA?

I do like the look of this AEG, but that's a fair chunk of change. How many different models did VFC release?

[r]

I have a question about another VFC gun, Anybody know the status of the Aks74, is it out? if so wher can I get it, but I think its not out yet.

Not too concerned about the review. Not many people have this gun so it's hard to come to a general consensus yet. Some of the internals do appear to be upgraded. But as I said before until more people weigh in on this AEG it is premature to say yes or no.

I'm not concerned and have not intention of cancelling my order. If the mechbox internals could use some improvement it's no big deal for me to swap the stuff out. It will be nice to have something different for a change.

Besides, if I wanted the Hurricane kit I would have bought it. As for it being better, that's a matter of opinion. How could you possibly know if the VFC body is not as good as the one by Hurricane?

Here's a link to the thread at Arnie's: http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forum...pic=88038&st=0

I wouldn't buy all the doom and gloom "woe is me I have a VFC!" junk over at Arnies. I have one and its the most solid gun I have ever felt. It's not an expensive gun and so yes, some parts are not amazing, which is to be expected. Other guns that are popular at said price have similar problems (CA hop anyone?). So far I replaced the stock with an M733 one, and put my G&P Phantom FH on it. Trades, oh well. It's a BB gun that sounds like a sewing machine. Trades won't do all that much for it.

Considering I payed 430US for the gun, and the Hurricane kit costs 500US, I have 70 to spend on internals before touching the Hurricane's price, not even including the fact you have to put an AEG in the Hurricane kit. From what I've heard of Hurricane internals I won't touch any of their stuff.

And like Homewrecker says, its not the end of the world to replace some parts, which everyone does on basically every gun anyway. Anyway, I'm biased, I just really like how solid it is :D Just trying to give an opposing view.

For you guys in the US it's not an expensive gun, but to get one here you're looking at CDN $1000.00 after everything is said and done. That's hella expensive for a sewing machine or BB gun.

Well I finally got my VFC HK416 today. It is everything that I expected.

Now I'm going to take it out of the box....:)

If I lived in the US, I would dedicate a room as my personal armoury since prices are so damn cheap.

But then again, I love living in Canada. So I'll trade off cheaper guns for nicer people. :D

Damn, I gotta see that bad boy...

How did you get it for so cheap?

Hes from the States.

Ohh... I saw Vancouver so i thought thats where he lived... Thanks for the clarification...

Gah. :( It's like $1000. Fark. I'd go with a systema with that price.

So for the price of a Systema you could get the 10" and 14".

I'll try and bring it by when I pick up the stock.



Uh, a Systema is like $2000.00. You're comparing apples to oranges.

Hey Homewrecker, once you get a chance to do a couple of games with your HK416, do you mind doing a review. I know there is already a bunch of reviews up on other sites, but its nice to get a Canadian perspective.

Thanks.

ohhhh sweet. i'm gonna lay my manjuice all over it

I'll do my best .

Alright then. I'll bring a box of shop towels.....

Can you post some pics? (not the manjuice thing... the gun)

http://www.gb-tech.com.tw/VFC_Coming%20Soon(C).htm
crock of shit, sure they show a pic of the scar proto, but they hid it behind the 416. and then they dont tell you anything, like progress, expected release, anticipated features.... assholes.

Calm down, quote from "The National Airsoft Magazine" from the states,

"Also rumored to be in the pipeline for release later this year, is the recently finalized SCAR rifle."

Now thats from issue #11 which was Septembers issue, so I'm not sure if that means later this year 2006, or later this year 2007? I'll wait to see if there is an update in Decembers issue, which I might get in the mail begining of January as the release date for that issue was the 18th, and with the mail plugged up with christmas, it'll be about 2-3 weeks.

Issue #12 came today, nothing listed for VFC about the SCAR, but they did mention something about a BAR. They did mention that G&G was going to take a crack at the SCAR. NAM magazine quote, page 10 under "LATEST INTEL REVEALS" "G&G proposed release list for 2007-2008. Never one to wait long between projects; G&G jumps right back into the labs to work on new projects for release in 2007 and 2008. Tentatively scheduled for release is the much talked about and most likely highly sought after SCAR weapon, the latest modular rifle from FN, designed specifically for the US Special Forces community. Also planned for later in 2007 is their own version of the venerable FA-MAS. Long considered the benchmark of the mass produced AEG's, the FA-MAS was Toyko Marui's first venture in the airsoft business. However, it was never improved upon, and virtually dead-ended there. Hopefully G&G will bring many new features and technologies to this old but still very useful piece. Tentatively scheduled for a 2008 release is the Euro-centric FN2000, a concept bullpup assualt rifle known by many PC gamers as the weapon used by Sam Fisher in Splinter Cell, and the RK95, most likely another variant of their RK (AK) series. Additionally, there are plans to build and release a replica of the Galil Micro, a very compact version of the famous Israeli Galil, as well as an AUGA3, a full body "RISed" AUG sometime in 2008."

Hey guys just a small video I wanted to post up of the hk416/417...

For people who say the stock on the hurricane isnt real.... well it is...

YouTube - Heckler & Koch SHOT Show 2K7

Look at the first weapon they show at the SHOT show... thats the exact version of the hurricane...

The Hurricane looks like the real-steel HK417 stock, not like the HK416 stock...
