Subject: WE HK416 GBBR vs VFC HK416 GBBR Sun Nov 14, 2010 11:55 pm
Hello everyone, I was wondering which rifle would be better to get. I am probably going to sell my UTG L96 and abandon my sniper role to have more fun with an assault role. Right now I am alittle bit concerned about getting a WE because I just returned the WE Scar. I am looking for realism in the gun including the trade marks. Here is the link for the WE HK416: http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/we-hk416-gas-blow-back-rifle-we-4168-version-2-w-marking.html I don't think the VFC is for sale yet. Please comment on the manufacturers and your experience with them. Thanks.

If you want real trademarks your best bet is the Umarex/VFC AEG version, especially if you had bad luck with a WE recently in the past.
Honestly it's just as good as a GBB in my opinion because there's easier availability for parts and you can run 30rd mid caps if you really want. Yet, there's not blowback or bolt lock etc but DEAL. WITH. IT.

Sorry, I will not buy a AEG. Is there any other manufacturers that make a HK416 GBBR that I missed?

You could wait for KWA's civilian M4A1 GBBR to be released.
Law Enforcement version.

I just got into GBBR's but i have realized so much in the little time i have learned about them. basically they will be similar in my opinion. You will have to buy better internals for both, you will have to buy more magazines for both. WE would probably be the best option regarding your wallet. VFC would probably be the best option regarding quality. But then again i have yet to see a VFC GBBR in action. and WE is definitely stepping up their game with every new GBBR they come out with. So I would go with WE, they are cheaper, readily available, also i think you shouldn't let 1 bad experience ruin it for you. Give it another shot and see how it goes.

To iliveforthis99: Sorry, I don't want a M4 I was going for a HK416 since it is more modern. If KWA comes out with a HK416 I would buy a pistol and a rifle from them.
I think that I will go with the WE HK416 because of the price difference. The only thing that I don't like about the WE one is that the barrel is grey instead of black.

To iliveforthis99: Would you recommend the VFC HK416 or the WE HK416?
Which is better CO2 or Green Gas?

I don't have any experience with either, however VFC has a good history and i've heard their AEG's are amazing. I'll be getting one of their M4 AEG's next year when i'm hoping to return to playing airsoft.

Green gas is better, trust me, It's annoying when it (CO2) freezes.

Also, I am trying to find a good place to buy the gun from. So far, I have found it on ehobbyasia.com and uncompany.com Link for ehobbyasia.com: http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/we-hk416-gas-blow-back-rifle-we-4168-version-2.html Link for uncompany.com: http://www.uncompany.com/pageproductdetails.asp?prodid=26173# Would there be another place that is cheaper or better to buy from? Also, the another thing I don't like about the WE is the yellow inside chamber and the fact it doesn't come with the HK416 stock, compared to the VFC one. Would anyone know where to get a HK416 stock?
