A brief open box of VFC's G36C:
First of all, some overall photos.
The overall gun is very light, and the plastic with the right kind of texture. Maybe during the cooling process the plastic shrink a bit, but it doesnt really matter to me at least, since real guns have that sort of marks all the time anyway (generally, i havnt touched a RS G36C anyway, they are so rare even photos are not many around). But it looks great and all the markings looks fine. every part is solid and nothing looks loose from the box.
The trigger somehow feels a little not too crisp, not like most WA m4 feel. It almost feel like a double action gun, and the trigger point is quite backwards. Once again never fired a G36C so cannot verify if this is also realistic.
The power of the gun is 1.4xJ first shot to 1.1xJ to last shot. Mags are only 30 rounds or so, and it cleared the 30 rounds with one charge of gas at single shot.
Hopup seems ok with 2 point hopup. Test accuracy later.
The 6mm BB cal marking.
Didnt bother me really. Because the overall quality of this G36C looks so "German" to me, I am willing to overlook this not so accurate marking. You will have it in all Uramex gun anyway. Either you buy and live with it or not, your choice.
However, some potential problematic area of the internal mechanism.
1) Metal meshed with plastic, with only pins connecting. If a BB jams, the stronger metal may cause the plastic to deform or break. Perhaps VFC can later produce a plastic version of the bolt head?
2) Bolt lock only catches a small area of the bolt, which after uses the bolt itself may deform. We will see in time if this happens.
3)Finally, the end plate. This is where all the blow back takes hit, but VFC have only designed the blow back force to be taken by an insert on top, and the takedown pin below. 2 points of contact only. Also a bit worrying, but if the plastic is good enough it should be ok otherwise this is suspect able to crack.
Overall I give this gun 90 marks. -5 due to mags are only 30 rounds. -5 due to strange trigger feel.
