OH SNAP! UHC VP-70 is out!

[AliceHKfan]

well it is a large bulky gun and second to use polymers first one was a Remington rifle (lol the make it wood colored/textured)

[FireKnife]

Note the words 'first effective pistol', i know polymers where used before in rifles but i meant pistols only (still two fingers to Glock, stupid Austrian cheap plastic).

 

Its a damn fine gun for its time and having owned the TK one, i hope it will be as good as and will get one. (BTW Sledge now has my VP70 )

EDIT: With the Five-seveN, VP70 and USPc all i need now is a XM10 pistol and i have a Leon RE4 set.

[AliceHKfan]

was just pointing out how polymer's were revolutionary, think about it, if you have to make plastic look like wood to get the market to buy it, thats kinda of a shame that people were like "OH NOES ITS PLASTIC IT MUST BE BADDDD!!!!oneone111"

[shinjinMC]

No HK trades, only VP70M. 

330-350FPS with .20g BBon green gas.

Very Nice just like the Tanio Koba version but uses green gas.

TK's VP70 runs just fine on green gas

lol

same could be said of a lot of airsofters too

 

 

also

if it really does have a metal slide, dont you think retailers would mention that.....?

[evansy]

Ooh a skirmishable VP70, gotta get one of them Not to mention how owning 2 VP70M's is something like a +7 to my l337 points

Hopefully Ehobby or some other uk friendly retailer will get them.

The guns might, its just a shame the mags wont hold the damn stuff. One of mine started leaking with 134A.

[Skorn]

What was the VP70 called in RE4. Oh and "LEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[Rob15]

Don't forget that the VP-70 was also in Aliens, everything else fails in comparison to that

[Donut]

[anime]It was also in Gunslinger Girls [/anime]

 

So... any news on spare mags?

The MGC is the screen-accurate version, so I'm led to believe.

I should have mine by tommorow morning, God I can't wait.

two fingers to Glock, stupid Austrian cheap plastic

wtf? The plastic on Glocks is almost as strong as steel at a fraction of the weight, why do you think they are so popular? If you want to talk about cheap plastic then you should remember the plastic slide on the TK VP70 you owned .

 

I wouldn't expect this UHC to be much better than the TK, but at least it's $70 cheaper. The only thing that put me off buying the TK was the ridiculous price tag.

[lineman66]

is it just me or did you just compare the plastic slide of a airsoft gun to the plastic on a real Glock pistol?

[ANDY_B]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

No, lol. I was just pointing out to an HK fanboy that the Glocks plastic frame isn't cheap plastic. I mentioned the cheap plastic slide on the TK VP70 because it's the main reason that I (amongst others) didn't buy it.

[AliceHKfan]

so in a way you did....and according to Sale the Glock grip does flex and the comparative price of a Glock to other guns is low so it is in a way "cheap"

[Yeager]

It appears that Pyramydair now has the UHC mags in-stock.

 

 

Anyone with a TK brand VP70 care to show us a picture of the TK mag for comparison?

[FireKnife]

Humm ANDY B is strange, when i say '2 fingers to Glocks' i mean that all those who say "ohh the Glock is so revolutionary with its polymer frame" i say "VP70 came out 10 years ahead and had a polymer slide" in other words score one for H&K (i'm not one of their fanboys, i prefer Remingtons and Kalashnikovs, just trying to get rid of a MP7 i bought to see what it was like).

 

I got rid of my TK VP70 for a Glock but got rid of the Glock (KSC 18c) quicker as it was worse than the VP70. I play with what i'm comfortable with and not just a H&K Fanboy. There is a nice fine line between AS and RS and it seems some people like to spout BS.

[Yeager]

Huzzah!

 

 

Talk about fun, this gun is one of the most entertaining GBBs I've ever owned.

 

Slide is plastic, Lower is HW plastic, Outer barrel is plastic, internals are metal, pretty much everything thats plastic on the TK is plastic on this gun. This does appear to be a Tanio Koba Licensed gun.

 

Right side of the slide: Design & Produced by Tanio Koba & UHC Made In Taiwan

 

Left side of the slide: MOD VP ' 70 9 MMx19 "This soft air gun is not made by HK, but the duplicate to extract the attractiveness of VP-70

 

Grip: VP70M (H&K markings are present but they have been removed)

 

It claims that its made for green, but I'd suspect that the use of propane in this gun will result in slidetoface symdrome.

 

Barrel is rifled, and there is an adjustable hopup located ontop of the outer barrel.

 

Stock, it over hops on .20s, .23s are good out to 85-90 feet, then go everywhere. I suspect that on .25s accuracy out past 100ft will be better.

 

 

Will give a more detailed report later on tonight. But from what I've seen so far this is an awsome little..or not so little handgun!

[lineman66]

whoa... there's a TK twist barrel in thar??? looks like a fun pistol to use.

[Rapier]

Yeager, you suck. How hard would it have been to post a few picks of the gun? Especialy with a size comparasin to another pistol. I have to admit it's one of the only H&K guns I've never held before.

[DarkLite]

TBH I'm not terrbily fond of the twist barrel - from almost every twist barrel I've seen, it tends to f**k accuracy right up.

To be honest, I was too busy playing with it to take pictures..

 

 

I'll hook up my guarder chorno and get everyone some FPS readings today..

[Catman]

Sweet where can I get one of these in the UK or HK? I find that ordering in from the US = me getting shafted in every possible way

[DarkLite]

That's exactly the problem.

 

Twist barrels very much rely on the ratio of output power to length.

 

In AEGs, this is fairly ok, as they are consistent - but still a major PITA to adjust for.

 

In GBBs - the consistancy is all over the bloody place, due to it being gas, so it's nearly impossible to adjust for.

[Rob15]

Well twist barrels are meant to work fine in guns below 1j, i've found the twist barrel in my TK USP .40 SD to be very good with all the gases i've tried in it
