TwinTurboCH Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 The VFC GBBrs use a modified WA system. What a crying shame. Link to post Share on other sites
-Clover- Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 So, heard back from Pyramid Air... I asked if they would have the guns in stock, ready to ship out on the 30th, got this back: "The date is estimated. Items shipped from overseas can be unpredictable as they are freighted and then can spend upto 2-3 weeks in customs." Can't say I'm surprised, but at least they're being honest :/ Link to post Share on other sites
LordElpus Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Because Umarex owns all the HK licenses for airsoft. Link to post Share on other sites
TXP Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Umarex = CA for the 416, NOT VFC. Thats only half the truth. First Umarex gave a licence to CA to copy the VFC 416 design. But as predicted by a lot of people the CA 416 became a 500 Euro shelf warmer and only a fistful of CA 416s have been sold (most of the guns are still in stock at several retailers in Germany). After this flop, Umarex heard to some of the complaints of the consumers and decided to order a second batch of "licenced" 416s from VFC. Unfortunately they still insist on appling those ugly Supersize Hk-Trades. So actually there are two "oficially licenced" HK416s from Umarex: one from CA, one from VFC. That website have no mention of Umarex at all. Where did you hear Umarex license HK to VFC? Umarex = HK Exclusive Worldwide Licence. Every licenced HK-gun is licenced by Umarex.

Hillslam Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 The more important question is WHY in the world would you even CONSIDER supporting a c**k operation like Pyramid?!?!?!?!?!?! Link to post Share on other sites
fiddlesticks4220 Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 They happen to have fast shipping times and good CS, not to mention the warranty the guns carry. What else could you ask for? Link to post Share on other sites
Danke Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Maybe I'm blind today but I did a text search and no where in that link does it mention VFC, Vega, or Force. I see it in the lead in text now. Still it seems off key, most of these guys just cut and paste from the manufacturers site, the description does not seem in sync. Link to post Share on other sites
-Clover- Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I was skeptical myself, as it DOESN'T mention anything about VFC on the product page at all. HOWEVER: http://www.pyramydair.com/cgi-bin/show.pl?...Koch&Type=3 (Second one from the top, read the description) Link to post Share on other sites

HOWEVER: http://www.pyramydair.com/cgi-bin/show.pl?...Koch&Type=3 (Second one from the top, read the description) Intresting. I really don't like the trademarks either. But I could manage most likely. I'll wait for a bigger description before buying one though. Link to post Share on other sites

BrooklynBorn Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Well, doubt it, seeing as no one knows what the hell it is. WE price range was promised $250-$260. $400 is FARR off. Link to post Share on other sites
manik Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Well so far we know this is the only website that has it, this is the first time anyone has mentioned that VFC took over for CA on Umarex lic due to price issues (even though the price is unchanged, also info was from a poster with a small number of postings), the website info states info for both AEG and Gas actions, VFC has no listing of this on their website and stopped making 416's about 2 years ago, and the appearance of the gun is that of a CA not VFC (especially since the model JUST debuted as looking totally different).... I'm gonna say that it's yet another retailer either trying to make a buck off people excited over the release or that they don't know the product they sell well along with a misinformed poster that stated VFC paid for Umarex licensing.
