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.....
