AliceHKfan Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 (edited) Load indicator? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> above in the pictures of the Marushin FN Five-seveN it says "real indicator" so the first thing that popped into my mind is that it could possibly mean a "loaded chamber indicator" so I was wondering if it had one or not. (if you don't know it should be located on the right side near the ejector port) edit: apparently I was off on the location, the provided image has a pen pointing to it Edited October 4, 2007 by AliceHKfan Link to post Share on other sites

j3T Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 *drools* How does it fire? Is the bolt release incredibly awesome?!?!? I have to know! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Haven't had the opportunity to shoot it yet, but the bolt release is pretty sweet, never seen anything like it. It's quite strong and makes a loud "clack" I owned a ca scar before this one, and it felt like a 5$ piece of plastic compared to this one. Really, no other manufacturer needs to make a scar because exterior wise, it can't get any better than the VFC. Fielding stripping is childishly easy with the integrated tools, altough the parts do need some force to get them apart. Link to post Share on other sites

[BS]_MARS Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 (edited) I am yet to get pics of mine. I have to disagree about the externals however. It seems like they were in a rush to get them out. The underside of the gas block is unfinished with the same coating as the rest of it has however it's a superior material compared to the CA. Also, the monolithic upper rail is not as precisly machined as the CA but doesn't seem to have any problem with attaching optics etc. The color is perfect, it's actually FDE (flat dark earth), not TAN! It doesn't shoot too great accuracy wise but the fps seems good and its got an average ROF. Overall I am very impressed so far and must applaud them for the no-wire design on the folding stock, it's designed well and I don't foresee it becoming a problem.

Cpt. Shadow Fox Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Has anyone else found it hard to get a battery in the VFC? With a mini in there I can't retract the stock. Another little downside is my overtightened std. outer barrel won't come off. Yay... Overall nice gun though. Link to post Share on other sites
[BS]_MARS Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Actually, I found it redicously easy and that there was WAY too much room. LOL! Try this, take the wires in the stock and pull them all the way out straight then place the red wire and black wire that come from the deepest spot in the stock on the right side of the mini (if you've got the gun vertical) and slide the mini in. Then I put the fuse in the small cubby at the bottom end of the stock and run the wires back to the battery, over the cheekpad pin. Seems like a lot but just remember to keep the fuse and connector on the outside, not buried under the battery and you're OK. Link to post Share on other sites
0nslaught Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 (edited) Yeah. It's not a ca http://users.pandora.be/j3T/mil/DSC_1443.jpg <{POST_SNAPBACK}> that is the EXACT picture/setup i was looking for....i think im going to have to go with the aimpoint and the LaRue mount over the eotech....add a TD VFG and im set... like they always say, great minds think alike Edited October 9, 2007 by 0nslaught Link to post Share on other sites
DerMann Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Not enough FALs! FALs are by far the best FN design EVAH! Link to post Share on other sites
Cpt. Shadow Fox Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 You are CORRECT sir! It's still a pretty snug fit for me, but mainly because of my mini's long wires. I've always had problems with them. Now if I can just get the damn outer barrel off without scratching it I'll be set. Link to post Share on other sites
MinisterofDeath Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 When will someone made the quick detach gernade launcher that was designed for the SCAR? The SCAR is just so cool its insane. The perfect compliment to my multicam loadout. Link to post Share on other sites

gun master Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 i think u can only fit a mini but im sure when fully extended u could put a custom made battery Link to post Share on other sites
[BS]_MARS Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 With the stock fully collapsed a 10.8v mini would fit for sure, not 100% sure on a 12v. It's about a 6" deep compartment. Link to post Share on other sites
Bizurkur Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 thanks! surely a 10.8 would be pretty dangerous to run in it though. Link to post Share on other sites
