AEG | G&G ARP556 2.0!

 Hi friends!

Welcome back to the blog, today we're looking at another G&G airsoft replica - this time the ARP556 2.0 from my sponsors over at HC2 Airsoft.


The ARP556 2.0 is the latest iteration in G&Gs 556-styled PDW. It’s constructed mostly from a high-density polymer making it tough and lightweight. Pair this with how compact the rifle is and you’ve got a great option for CQB.



At the front of the rifle, we have a polymer flash hider mounted onto a 14mm CCW thread followed by an MLOK handrail that has a hand-stopper already preinstalled for convenience. It has a G&G branded receiver, a full-length Picatinny rail for optics and an ergonomic pistol grip. At the rear of the rifle, there is a PDW-style stock that houses the battery.
  

Specs:
  • M-LOK Handguard 
  • PDW style stock 
  • Inline MOSFET 
  • Ver 2 Full Metal gearbox 
  • G&G pre-upgraded internals 
  • 25,000 RPM high speed motor 
  • Adjustable hop-up


Range test: During our range test, the chrono did jump between 300 FPS and 310 FPS, which is perfectly site-legal with the room to be upgraded. Despite the variance in FPs, its performance is what we would expect from G&G - consistent with good accuracy.

In the box, you get the G&G ARP556 2.0, a 450-round G&G branded Magazine and the instruction manual

From HC2 Airsoft, it retails for £309.99

AEG | G&G ARMAMENT ARP9 3.0

 Hi friends!

Welcome back to the blog. Today, I have another first impression for you in this post - on the G&G ARP9 3.0 from my friends at HC2 Airsoft.



The ARP9 3.0 is the latest iteration of G&G's iconic SMG, this time featuring a side folding skeleton stock and a new MOSFET integrated gearbox that is smaller and more efficient than its predecessor.




The ARP9 3.0 is mostly constructed from a high-density polymer making it tough and durable. At the front of this compact SMG is a short MLOK hand guard, followed by the G&G branded receiver (that has a full-length Picatinny running along its length) and at the rear of the rifle, we have a side-folding skeleton stock that also houses the battery.

Specs:
  • M-LOK Handguard
  • Side folding skeleton stock 
  • MOSFET Integrated Gearbox 
  • QD spring guide to allow for easy power tuning 
  • G&G pre-upgraded internals 
  • Ifrit 25K Motor-Short Axis orange (25000rpm)
  • Adjustable hop-up
The ARP9 3.0 features G&G's upgraded MOSFET system, which is more compact and efficient than its predecessor. Additionally, it has a QD spring guide for effortless power tuning without gearbox disassembly. Retaining G&G's renowned pre-upgraded internals, it still houses the impressive 25,000 RPM high-speed motor, ensuring the ARP9's signature rapid-fire rate.



Range test: During our range test it averaged around 312 FPS, perfectly site legal with the room to be upgraded. Its performance is what we would expect from G&G - consistent with good accuracy.

In the box, you get the G&G ARP9 3.0, a 68-Round Mid-Cap FCCM Magazine and the instruction manual. From my friends at HC2 Airsoft, the ARP9 3.0 retails for £339.99.

Hi friends!

Welcome back to the blog. Today we're back with an AEG first impression, and in this one, we'll be looking at the G&G FAR9 from my friends over at HC2 Airsoft.

The FAR9 folded away:

  • Rear-mounted loop for mounting slings 
  • Flip-up front and rear iron sights


Range test: During our range test, it chrono'd at 285 FPS, which is perfectly site-legal with the room to be upgraded although m,much lower than expected. Again, its performance is what we would expect from G&G - consistent with good accuracy.



In the box, you get the G&G FAR9, 68 Round Mid-Cap FCCM Magazine and the instruction manual. From HC2 Airsoft, it retails for £259.99.

GBB | VORSK VMP-1C!

Hi friends!

Welcome back to the blog. Today we're back with a GBB first impression, and in this one, we'll be looking at the VORSK VMP-1C from my friends over at HC2 Airsoft.



The VMP-1C from VORSK is the compact version of their already compact GBB SMG. It’s made from a high-density Polymer and has a QD sling socket at the rear rather than a folding stock making it tough, lightweight and perfect for CQB.




Specs:
  • High-density polymer construction 
  • 6.03mm Tightbore inner barrel 
  • 14mm CCW Male threaded outer barrel 
  • System 7 adjustable HOP-up unit 
  • 20mm Picatinny railed receiver 
  • 20mm Picatinny rail at the 6 o'clock position 
  • Removable/repositionable 20mm side rails 
  • QD Sling socket at the rear - QD Sling swivel pre-installed 
  • VORSK's unique stipple texture on the pistol grip 
  • Compatible with VORSK VMP-1 Magazines and ASG/KWA/KSC MP9/TP9 magazines




Rangetest:

As you can see from the video, we just decided to press full f*cking send and record this SMG in full-auto mode which was really fun. Of course, you wouldn't be able to use full-auto in CQB but this would be fun for a woodland game. On semi-auto, it performed well, fed well and was pretty accurate once we adjusted the hop. The only thing I will say is the magazine struggled a little because of how cold it was (we recorded this during the cold snap in January).



In the box, you get the VORSK VMP-1C GBB SMG, a 45rnd Green Gas Magazine, the Quick Start guide, a Spare Nozzle, PVC Patch and the HOP-up adjustment tool. From HC2, the VMP-1C retails for £169.99.
