Cheers mate, i come here to give some more info. The bolt has the normal travel and a full travel when the buffer is removed it becomes fulltravel so we can use the selectors with the cut space and lock the bolt open. Also the gun will be released in between july and september. It has full cnc steel bolt and internals and uses vsr spec hop up buckings and barrels. It looks pretty promising. I hope you give it a try, i'm really curious about it.
@@BadaBingPictures there is more info if i'm people might be curious. I just thought that blasting with all the info isn't the way because it's been pinned on the heavyrecoil club but if you allow me to i'll put all the info we got on a message on this video so everybody that sees it can know what vfc is preparing for us.
@@LocalAlpha don't know about that. The info i got is from all the videos from the moa show. For now let's be happy with the one version they are going to release.
@@SlavTac-im6fk that would be awesome! I was going to make another news video on this particular piece and would be honoured to quote you and detail the upcoming details.
Yes, I own many of their gbbr and although they all have some flaws, vfc is overall better than the competition. I sometime wish they used some better material on certain parts, but their gbbr design is always better than we or ghk
So glad it seems like they’re doing a black paint finish, I’ve been wanting to get a nice worn look on my GHK Groza, but the blueing completely ruins the aesthetic
@@dariodeak don’t worry it’s not the Heph groza, one of my own projects. Also I wasn’t referring to doing artificial weathering because that usually comes out looking really bad unless you really know what you’re doing, just some cosmetic wear with use.
It's going to be a busy and expensive 2024 for me... 😅 FNC, M16A1, T91, I might even finally acquire the M733 I had to give back after reviewing but kind of fell in love with. And the PPKs just in time for my typical birthday present pistol to myself.
I just recently got a WE M4A1 GBBR (The rifle in my pfp) I love AKs, the only reason why I didn't get a GBBR AK is became they're pretty much non-existent where I live. Apart from the WE PMC AK. But now that I'm moving to the UK... This might just be my next purchase, definitely after a couple months or so after initial release.
Awesome insight, thanks bud, VFC make some truly stunning gbb products, excellent attention to detail, but THEY DON'T MAKE ENOUGH OF EM!!!! Can't get an SR16E3Mod2 V3 in Europe for any amount of kidneys! That PPKs oh yes please!!!! but guess what? out of stock everywhere!! You gotta get me while you can!!
It's about time VFC went into the AK market. I am personally more an AR guy, but I am happy that VFC is expanding more passed their current repertoire.
Oh my word! So many interesting gbbr announcements and releases recently! I already have the TM AKM. Was interested to get the MWS or the F90 but then an AK74MN appears? Not to mention the FNC. Option paralysis! If only I have the money😂
The pins on the rifle are real not just mold in, Mag are made of metal(like vmag). The method VFC fixed the barrel is by a pin (which like real steel?) So the way you remove hop up unit, just unscrew it
Why doesn’t anyone make a GBBR AR18? Great assault rifle that has basically been ignored for it’s entire existence (besides being used by Provo thugs in NI).
Do you not think that fult steel bolt will cause issues with efficiency and cool down? Although agreed from a realism and recoil perspective, it produces the best experiance but i cant see how the performance wont suffer , especially in colder climates
Looks like it runs a steel bolt just fine. I think they have made necessary adjustments to weight for the best performance. czcams.com/video/lvWP8efk95Q/video.html
willing to know pricing compared to ghk v3 I actually want an AK GBB so.... maybe next year is the one TM is too much toy-ish, GHK is the standar but you have to add few aftermarket, at least with V2 Let's see if VFC lands in their 550€-ish price and how it performs
i hope they bring back their ak aeg's. they were the best ak's of their day. we saw e&l return with their essential lineup. main difference is the motor.
Curious about two things. The KWA AK-74, I own one. Doesn't it already have a hammer drop on empty,? Mine does do that and if I remember correctly, it won't fire if there is no BB in either the mag or hookup This 74, is it the AK-74 with just different wording?
The recoil was good, very stable full auto fire, super realistic hammer spring, was told that most parts are real steel spec, mag was really light like never before. But I really don’t like the exterior finish of the ak, looks just like their bcm, paint came off quite easily. Could be just the demo
For a prototype it’s looking quite good though. Considering it’s due for release at the ass end of 2024. That video of it on twitter firing continuously for 200 cycles on a single gas charge was impressive.
I'll definitely be waiting at least for the 2nd batch to look into it further. But VFC just put out a really nice offer into the AK GBB market with this one, that's for sure.
I don’t see what the deal is with hammer drop on empty. I use Yugo BHO mags and there is not hammer drop on empty. The bolt stays open so the barrel and internals are cooling off for however long it takes you to reload. Much much better. No dead man’s click telling your enemies you’re out of ammo.
I spent so many years with the GHK, and always enjoyed it. Although it lacked that realistic feature and that let it down. For me at least, I felt disappointed. So with their upcoming improvement part, it stands as the most realistic GBB AK at this point.
@@BadaBingPicturesthank you for your reply badabing. My point earlier is that this “realistic” feature is not realistic in the real steel world if you use BHO (bolt hold open) magazines. Yugo mags are such and they work in all AK variants. -- the magazine follower stops the bolt in the open position on empty so there is never the “dead man’s click” aka hammer drop on empty. Much preferred by most for multitude of reasons mainly because it allows the chamber and barrel to cool in the bolt open position AND, (wait for it), because it eliminates the dead man’s click / hammer drop on empty. -- it’s called dead man’s click because it’s a dead giveaway to your enemies that you’re out of ammo and in need of mag change.
Another Ghk V3 feature that is barely noticeable (shorter receiver). It eliminates possibility of using endless airsoft aftermarket options for top covers and more. Yes you can use RS top cover but if you’re going for railed options you’ll be paying 10x or more for the real steel parts.
Hi, I don’t really know anything about it. The KJW GBB AR’s aren’t very popular, and I trust the community when something like that isn’t high regarded. They aren’t very prolific in these parts. So accessibility is limited.
>but can you say anything about kjw m4 v3? Alright performance, nearly non-existent aftermarket support since its proprietary. Its great, until something breaks inside.
@@LamborghiniDiabloSVPursuit thank you. That's kind of what I've heard, but since there's access to spare parts where I live, I consider buying it since it's half of the ghk or vfc price.
@@BadaBingPictures perhaps next they'll do more pistols. HK P4, VP70. P7 and P9S would be fantastic. Oh yeah, a Browning Hi Power mk2 would be cool too. Unlikely but I can dream.
Hardly, ghk v2 ak’s shouldn’t even be considered since they are dog trash, the v3 is a unknown and the tm offering is great, but lacks the externals of steel. Literally there are 3 times more m4 interactions from multiple companies
Can't wait for this thing! I don't trust GHK to make a good AK anymore and there's just something off about the TM to me, so VFC making one is great news! Especially when the flagship is my favorite variant...
You trust VFC? I’d wait to see what corners they cut first. Will it work? Sure. Will it be 1:1 inside and out like their ARs? Most likely. Will the outer barrel be full steel, will the steel internals be high grade or their usual soft steel? Will their plastic nozzles chip and break fairly easily over a short time? Time will have to tell! 😂 VFC and Northeast Airsoft are on my wait and see list along with KWA. 😮😂
@@keyboardcommando5146 >Will their plastic nozzles chip and break fairly easily over a short time? I've ran over 2k rounds into my HK416D, never had a chip, even after the occasional misfeeds from overgassing. I've also ran over 3k rounds into an M733 that I fired constantly on full auto. Same deal with my UMP9 that's either close to or over a 3k round count. No chips or damage to the nozzle. So, donno what you're talking about, besides operator error.
@@LamborghiniDiabloSVPursuit you mention 3 of their products, 2 of which are basically the same, and that somehow negates what I said in your mind. Lol. How much “user error” could there be in firing off rounds where double feeds are clearly not at play!? Do whatever works for you. I know better, and will wait and see. Guaranteed VFC will skimp on quality, like they did with their Dx FAL, the DX HK416 A5, but not on overcharging.
@@keyboardcommando5146 >you mention 3 of their products, 2 of which are basically the same and that somehow negates what I said in your mind. Well, thing is I didn't want to brag, but the only modern VFC gas guns I haven't used and/or had is their newest-version G36, M40A5, and that weird Vietnam-era grenade launcher. Everything else has passed through me one way, or another. The nozzles don't break. Like, of all the problems I get with them, nozzles do not break without intervention from the user. They get deformed or scratched from standard use, but they don't chip. So I don't know where you're getting that. The most problematic modern guns I've had with VFC is the Fabrams STF/12 and their FN Mk17, and the nozzles aren't even part of that list. >How much “user error” could there be in firing off rounds where double feeds are clearly not at play!?

I hope they say also make an AKM too, to pair with the M16A1 they just realized.
VFC is a great Airsoft company

great products, shitty Quality Assurance because they know they don't have to honor warranties outside of Taiwan, EU and the US.
@@pyroromancerthey also know their fans will make excuses for them, that they wouldn’t make for other brands. 😂
no it isn't
@@TheWolvesCurse care to elaborate?
Their AEGs were the best looking and best accurate AKs (I'm lucky to have kept a dozen of them ^^). I can't wait to see this GBBR version !
I heard they were good quality.
This GBBR version looks good.
So glad it seems like they’re doing a black paint finish, I’ve been wanting to get a nice worn look on my GHK Groza, but the blueing completely ruins the aesthetic

VFC master race returns!
I'm an AR fanboy, but goddamn the VFC ak looks so goooood
I wait for it for so long
So looking forward to this!
Dont forget about the Stechkin APS they announced some time ago. VFC has definitely become the top manufacturer for me when it comes to diversity!

1st and awesome video. Great news
They're also working on a stetchkin aps alongside Raptor airsoft, I can't wait to see how both of those manufacturers will make that replica
Right when I was finally happy with my TM build, they go and do this to me :)
Thanks bud. 👍🏻
Just makes me want a 100 Series TM AK ever so more
Why doesn’t anyone make a GBBR AR18? Great assault rifle that has basically been ignored for it’s entire existence (besides being used by Provo thugs in NI).
No demand. Most people aren't even aware the AR18 exists.
Vulnerable Fragile Crumbling
If I remember correctly, there is a video interviewing them that confirms that they do have the ability to full travel if the user desires
Yes and yes and finally yes
This is how Marui can lern about news.
my wallet is shaking in fear
Guys does anyone know anything about a release date? Asking from Germany for the EU market. Great videos
Why is the hammer a good thing ? What am I missing
I hope they capitalise on what GHK did and also put out an AKM that would actually have good performance and be realistic with high quality
that pps-h is a god damn beauty
I was saving to buy a GHK AK74, but looks like I'll just wait another year or two.
Who's better GHK or VFC?

That M16 indeed looks good, so, do we start that kidney business or what?
I’m looking for investors.
Don’t worry about collecting these organs, let me worry about that.
Not an AK by any means, but if this is full steel where it’s supposed to be, and made to true 1:1 spec throughout, it’s on my list! #SteelRiflesFTW
Do you know the price of it or not right now?
I don’t think anyone does.
We haven’t heard anything else about these since the initial news stories broke out.
