They make the G&P SVD look like a workhorse. I've not heard one good thing about the VFC M82 save for the feel and look. Search this forum for a bloke named syndrome. He had a long thread about constant replacement parts from VFC being sent. I think eventually they "lost" his address. He is one of about 8 people I've read about with a the same story or worse. I've yet to see one person defend it otherwise.
It's a hard to buy anything VFC after this turkey, at least gas powered, since the AK turned out pretty good. Keep gas rifles to the people who know what they're doing.

The only P-38 I had was Megatron.

You can save some time with the the bb loader, we all know it's ######.

besides a scope what accesories are availible for this?
can it accept the APS-2 bipod mount?
Actually. the only accessory available for it is the bipod adapter. Everything else is general purpose stuff. The adapter isn't required if you plan on mounting to the sling swivel. Just make sure your scope rings can be moved to mount to the rail, since it's not very long.

As to the different brands of kit, my guess is it's all the same, just different branding. Probably a knock-off like those cheap resin kits.

Looks G&P to me.

They have a sample there. It's nice and the deal is pretty good with the mags.

Necro post. Just for your information, that site is not a safe place to buy from, and you will either get robbed or have the wrong thing shipped. Most likely the former.

Just got mine. I thought the box would be bigger.

The butt stock is in sections, so you can add/remove enough for your needs. The cheek rest can be raised/lowered as well.

does the Pope wear a silly hat??? Of course im going to pull it apart and have a good rummage around inside, as i heard a rumor it was powered by lepricorns.
just to keep things interesting!
mmm "Who Dares Wins"

Great idea about testing the G18c AEP along the MP7 for comparative results. I'll be interested in the results. Now I'm waiting for the inevitable hi-cap 100 rd mags. Did anyone give a ballpark release date for them?
As for the rumour of a Ver. 7 gearbox in the MP7, that's ridiculous.

good to see that zip tie....is it used for showing that the gun was chronod and is feild legal....
nice gun bud
Thanks, The tie was actually handed to me by the guy who did the upgrade work. It was a little hot for the game so it never saw the field chrono.
I only used it in Semi so I felt it was no big deal. I don't condone that for full-auto guns BTW. It's the first version gearbox too, for all you naysayers. -
I don't have the scope on anymore, it's on my A.I.C.S. now.

All but a few are in a corner. Too many guns and not enough cases. Some are still in their factory boxes, but it's mainly because they are rare gas guns and I don't want them exposed to the air and dust. It's starting to resemble the bunker from T2.

JAC Steyr AUG Military with carbine and SMG barrels. 16 years and still going strong.

It's a neat gun for someone who has disposable cash. The box mag sucks though. Manual wind and it pinches the hell out of your hand the first few times you put it on. An auto-winding one needs to be made, especially for the price.

Update: I got 10 shells and a shell-catcher, so now I'm in business. I'll post a pic later.

Someone asked if the gun is worth the money. That question is always subjective. What's worth $300 to one person isn't worth $200 to another. Just as $300 is one person's weekly wage where it may be pocket change to someone else. I'll preface my answer with a short bio. I rarely skirmish, I make a decent living but I'm not rich by any means, I've been a gun freak since pre-school. I love older and unique guns opposed to the XM8 and shrikes of the world. Of the dozen or so guns I own, two of them are aegs, the rest are classics and/or gbb. To me the gun was worth it. I would have liked it to be less, but I respect the fact that this gun is essentially unchanged since it's original release over ten years ago, the original selling easily for twice the price of this one. Would I use it as a primary weapon? No, I'd rather use a pistol or smg for cqb. As a field gun I'd rather use a lmg or long gun. At best it would be a backup gun for my Thompson. It's mainly a showpiece that will hang over the fireplace that may get used once in a while.

Ok, at lunch time I went home and did a quick poor-man's chrono. I followed the method the best I could remember. I used green gas and 134 with .2 Airsoft Elite bbs. The temperature outside is 85?F (California in November)
. One note first, the shells can only be loaded with three bbs, any less and they roll back breaking the seal against the o-ring. I fired at the first can from 5" away. The power from the gas blows the can about 6 feet back and the bbs went cleanly through both sides of the can. I then went for the bottom, following the above conditions. It made a deep dent with a faint hole. No penetration but close. The next up was the top of the can. It made a dent but not as much as the bottom. After this I tried 134 just to see what it was meant to do "stock". It made a dent in the side, but not much more. I didn't bother with the top and bottom after that. I may have not filled enough 134 into the shell, since my can is quirky sometimes. So the results are in and I'd venture to say that the gun fires about 400 fps with green gas. I went back and read the poormans chrono and it looks like I was a few inches farther than what it calls for. So I bumped up the fps by 10%. I've included pics of the cans. Next time I'll try to test the range, but my yard's not very big. -
I did a mini review on another site. I've just ordered the extra shells since thier release yesterday. I'll post a few quick comments until I can really sit and write a review. Build quality is superb. Wood furniture, metal mag tube, trigger, hammer, heat shield, bayonet lug. The receiver and barrel are heavyweight plastic. The shells fire three bbs at a time, but they all use the same barrel. Very solid feeling, no wobble or rattles except the sling hooks. It took a few cycles to smooth the action but now it operates fine. The shells are on the delicate side so I wouldn't eject them onto concrete. I dropped a loaded, gassed shell and it shot off the plastic piece with the o-ring that holds the bbs in place. By a stroke of luck I found the piece on the other side of the yard the next day. It's probably as skirmish-able as any other gas, shell-ejecting, shotgun. I ordered a shell catcher as well, it may not fit due to the design, but maybe I can work with it. I haven't tested it's range or power yet, but it does take green gas.

Tanaka 1897 Trench Gun. It uses gas in the shells, each holding 3 bbs at a time.

Actually the mag is 40 rd, and it's expensive because they're making it expensive. The tanaka mags are $70 because they can get $70. They figure you just spent $1500 on a gun, what's another $125 for a spare mag. Either this is the ONE gun that works, or it's a snow job.
