Airsoft Action - February 2021

FEATURE
NEW MODELS FROM VEGAFORCECOMPANY
which we’ll
be taking a look
at in detail soon
there’s more
“Old Skool”
GBB PSG-1!
This
but
to come for the
amongst us, in the form of a
stunning rifle, the
“Präzisionsschützengewehr”, or
precision shooting rifle was a semiautomatic
sniper rifle designed and produced
by Heckler & Koch and much beloved of special
police and military units during the 70’s and 80’s.
It holds a special place in hearts of many airsofters
and Stewbacca was obviously very taken with it “in
the flesh”! Its widely acknowledged that a certain
Japanese manufacturer dropped the ball for once
when they replicated this rifle in 6mm AEG form but,
knowing VFC as we do, there’s a lot to look forward
to with their version.
The VFC HK PSG-1 faithfully replicates the
appearance of the PSG-1, making use of steel
stamping in the upper and lower receivers, along with
a reinforced steel charging handle latch assembly. It
also replicates the PSG-1 Style adjustable cheek rest
stock, along with that unique PSG-1 style dedicated
pistol grip with adjustable palm shelf. Specs here are:
• Length: 1,220/1,280 mm
• Inner Barrel: 650 mm
• Weight: 5,200 g
• Energy: Max 2 Joule
• Material: Steel, Alloy, Polymer
• Magazine Capacity: 20 BBs
And sticking with “old skool”, there’s one more
GBBR that has been causing quite a stir, not only for
the rifle in question but for the many derivatives of
the original design (including the L1A1 SLR!) and, of
course, the rifle is the LAR, AKA “FN FAL” (GBBR)!
VFC have been teasing us with the LAR for some
considerable time and it is a thing of absolute
beauty that stuns all who see it. As the world’s first
“FAL” GBBR, the early model style is completely and
accurately reproduced, with steel front and rear sights,
steel gas
tube, steel
outer barrel
and of
course, steel lower and
top cover!
Inside there’s a steel
7.62 style realistic bolt carrier assembly, so for living
history/airsoft crossover this should take down in a
very similar fashion to the real deal! Specs are:
• Length: 1,095 mm
• Inner Barrel: 491 mm
• Weight: 3,949 g
• Energy: Max 2 Joule
• Material: Steel, Alloy, Polymer
• Capacity: 20 BBs
We understand that the LAR will come in two
“levels”, with a “collector” variant and one that is
more keenly priced for the skirmish market. We are
100% looking forward to seeing both soon!
Of course, this is not all that VFC have up their
sleeves for 2021, as undoubtedly their pistol program
will move on apace and the glimpse we were given of
the “1911 Ultra Carry” had a certain member of the
Airsoft Action team getting all a’flustered as soon as
it appeared at the end of the video presentation from
MOA! This super-short 1911 (we are told) is based on
their “1911 Tactical” that was released in 2020 - and
this was a pistol that we reviewed VERY positively - so
we have high hopes for its “little bro” too!
Undoubtedly there will be more from VFC as the
year progresses and we look forward to featuring as
many as possible of their new offerings in more detail
but for now, we’d like to express our sincere thanks to
Ray, both for the video presentation from MOA and
for providing more information to us for this article!

forward to working with them as things move on! AA
