I don't mean any offense to AS92-RD, but OP, you should be skeptical of posts that write off G&G as "garbage". The situation is much more nuanced than that.

There are stores in Canada that sell clear or semi-clear body G&Gs that are not worth buying. There are stores in Canada that sell G&G guns for far too high a price, anywhere from 2 to 4 times more than they are actually worth.

This does not change the fact that G&G is actually a quality brand. In Canada you will find a lot of dislike for G&G, but this is more of an accident of history than it is a mark against G&G. It's mostly the product of import customization issues and one big distributor monopolizing the G&G brand in Canada.

The following is informed by running both VFC and G&G guns fairly hard in terms of power and rate of fire:

If these guns were design-model-identical, then I'd tell you the following. If you care about the externals and nothing else, go for the VFC. If you care about the internals, the G&G gearbox shell, heat treated gears and oftentimes the motor (assuming it is a neo motor) are superior to the equivalent VFC parts. VFCs come with a very weak clear piston (any gearbox nerds in here can see an ASM thread about this exact issue in Standard Tech as we speak), very weak tappet plate spring that severely impacts your feeding and compression when using mags with stronger springs like the PTS PMAGs, often come with weak ferrite motors, and last but not least, have annoying "self-shimming gears" which are noisy and difficult to shim (usually they end up in the spare parts bin and stay there). In addition, all the recent version 2 G&G gearboxes I've seen come with radiused cylinder windows and are impeccably clean to boot.

So setting aside externals, it's definitely not a garbage brand.
