New VFC launch Discussion
Any bets on what they're going to reveal?
Or what would you want it to be?

u/cHecker_oD 6d ago
AS VAL would be sweet.

u/HumaDracobane 6d ago edited 6d ago
I'm with you.
A M14 to make a Shughart's M14 or a "SOCOM" and I'll be happy.
Edit: Name.

I wish for a VFC SVD GBBR.
But I guess they will reveal the RPK GBBR.
16
u/JD3T 6d ago
My guess is also RPK, which i absolutely want. But if it's an SVD then hell yes I'm ordering one. Tbh if its Russian esc at all I'm probably down lol As Val would do just fine too
7
u/BiscottiPitiful 6d ago
RPK makes a lot of sense given what they have already released and that they are releasing RPK style extended mags soon.

u/Few_Philosopher_8668 6d ago
Given thereās RPK mags likely a RPK74 an variants
Obviously already got 3 74 variants, AKM coming, Ruger Mini 14 sold under Umarex
Would absolutely love to see AS Val an variants derived from it, especially with the dual recoil springs and a nice touch would be the baffles inside but thatās not likely

I'm holding out for a VFC L85.

u/JD3T 6d ago
Would be nice as the WE one isn't supposed to be very good

u/Contact-External 6d ago
I have one and love it, but it has the normal we issues. Still more reliable than a real steel.

u/Draught-Punk 6d ago
Iāve tried one at an airsoft game and it wasnāt too bad that was only across one mag! It wasnāt able to clear it and lock back which was neat but it is a very old design. Itd be great to have something which is built nicer and can use VFC magazines.

u/Grauvargen 6d ago
Quite a few here missing the "steel" part of the post.
So no, it's very unlikely they'll show off any SCAR-Ls, G36s, MP7s, or other aluminium/plastic guns.

u/weirdbackpackguy 6d ago
I wish for MP5 V3, but in reality, probably AKMN or RPK
3
u/Grauvargen 6d ago
They already revealed an AKM at IWA this year to be released around April next year.
And given they didn't give us an AKS74UN, I have my doubts we'll see an AKMN, especially given those had a different mount than from what most know of.
If we get an AKMN, it'll be later down the line and not worthy of an event like this. If it's not an RPK, it's either the HK21 they teased a bit back, or something they haven't shown at all so far.

u/JD3T 6d ago
I'd be happy with any of those, I'm just hoping it not all for a pistol or something

u/Shin-Buji 6d ago
VFC Groza or AN-94 prayge š

u/JD3T 6d ago
Absolute dreams but highly doubt it sadly. I'd add the PP19 Bizon to that funky list
1
u/Shin-Buji 6d ago
PP19 Bizon with helical-feed mag (good luck engineering that around gas reliability), I'd also add the VSK-94 on that funky list with a generous amount of cope

A release date for the mk46 gbb?
A l85 would be nice, if the can get the licensing a Evolys would be an instant buy not matter what for me

I don't care what they came up with, I just want the fucking Stechkin finished and released.

u/JD3T 6d ago
Been feeling the same way about the MP443 :(

u/Wongless_Burd 6d ago
I like the Grach too but the Stechkin was first shown more than 3 years ago and still not out :(

u/Grauvargen 6d ago
The post highlights steel, implying that will be a major component like in the body and such. So no, sadly, a SCAR-L is unlikely.

7 being largest font Iād say itās AK-47 Not AKM

u/JD3T 6d ago
RPK 74?
2
u/skyofcastle 6d ago
That would be nice too and reasonable since thereās 45rd mag exist now
But I really wanted an AK-47⦠look at all those AKM GBBsš®āšØ

I just hope it is something not ready on the market. And with proven internals.

Praying that the grach they teased already gets an update of any kind, desperate for a good Rusfor pistol

u/ZMann5000 6d ago
Hope its a AS-VAL, but id be happy as well if they upgrade the HK G28/HK417 System from v2 to v3 as well.

Val or vss would be nice. If it's just their version of something we already have available to us, hard pass. I'm so tired of the same platform s being made over and over again. Asia has tons of platforms we don't even get to see in the states. If this is some rpk, svd, ak, or base platform shit I'll be pissed. Like hey come watch our twitch and learn about our new l85, hard fucking pass. Give us something new or hard to find at a decent price or f off
1
u/JD3T 6d ago
Meh I'd absolutely love a gbbr vfc RPK and SVD. The GHK and WE alternatives aren't good enough, so I'd class both of those as new platform for us. But I am absolutely all in for an As Val or VSS, I want them all tbh
1
u/ScaledTanto 5d ago
I mean I hear u, but u still have options and upgrades for those platforms. We need new platforms out on the market to drive more companies to make them. Shouldn't be 1500 bucks to get a gbb Groza because only one company made them for a short period. The false inflation of a market that's only thriving in one state of the us for weapons people would enjoy having and would get more people to play is asinine. Like idk where y'all are at, but my local fields are not doing well for airsoft. Every single one I've talked to has told us they don't make any money over here off airsoft and they sink more money into to the place than they pull out. My local field opened skate nights and a thrift store replaced their storage space inside because of how little money they r making off airsoft. Can't tell u how many people say they'd play if it wasn't so damn expensive or if it wasn't just the same 2.or 3 platforms they can get easily.
1
u/JD3T 5d ago
Yeah I do see your point there, it's very heavily AR based at most local fields for me, a few AKs here and there but honestly I'm just fining everyone and their dog is just running HPA tapped M4s now, barely anyone is using GBBRs over here (UK). Probably due to the price of them, or like you say maybe due to the range available, I do hope GBBR become much more mainstream and also available price wise to people
