In this livestream episode by Patrol Base, the feature the Umarex PSG1 Gas Blowback Rifle made by VFC... "As to be expected the UMAREX H&K PSG1 Gas Blowback Replica holds true to it's real steel counter part in every way you could imagine, from the traditional HK G3 style receiver to the classic H&K charging handle, ( which we know you just wanna slap ) The PSG1 truly is an amazing Airsoft replica that deserves the upmost appreciation. The PSG1 by UMAREX is nothing short of the real thing, presenting itself in a fantastically inimitable quality with a steel stamped body, tuning trigger, 20mm integrated rail and the classic wooden pistol grip and enhanced base the PSG1 is an exceptional Airsoft Replica with a character that both Airsoft Players and Collectors will love.

The PSG1 is one of the most iconic firearms in the world, featuring in video games for decades it has quickly become a much loved weapon of choice for players and collectors alike. The platform is built from a G3 base which means it takes the standard UMAREX H&K G3 style magazines. Just above the handguard you'll find possibly what H&K are most famous for in the "Tacticool Market"  - That being the H&K Lock and release style charging handle. Upon loading the gun, you would position the stock of the gun under your right arm to support the weight and then with your left hand pull back the charging handle and position it upward into the square pocket, then replace your magazine with a fully loaded one and either pull the charging handle down to return the gun to battery, or do what you really want to do and slap that charging handle like a real operator, with care of course.

Disclaimer: Please note, as this is a Gas Blowback Replica, being heavy handed and repeatedly slapping the bolt release may increase wear, as such we cannot cover any problems or damages caused by this.

The hop up on the gun can be found underneath the handguard at the end of the receiver, you can access this by removing the handguard via the front end body pin and sliding it off, you will then see a black dial / cog which surrounds the outer barrel, you can turn this left or right to increase or decrease your applied hop up.

The rest of the gun features your classic H&K G3 / MP5 upper receiver, pistol grip with added finger grooves for comfort and an enhanced rubber base as well as a drop style H&K stock which allows the end user to acquire their target with ease by bringing the gun up to eye level. The large sniper style stock also features a loop style sling mount and a rubber shoulder pad for an effective grip on all surfaces and tactical wear and an adjustable cheek riser.

Mounted to the receiver is a 20mm Sight Rail slightly mounted over the forward assist / ejection port, this is a fixed sight mount that sits about 1.4 inches off of the receiver, allowing for a perfect line of sight when your optic is fitted in combination with the adjustable cheek riser.

The handguard on the PSG1 features a classic triangular shape, which accommodates a HARRIS style Bipod mount underneath. The shape also allows for a good overall grip should you end up needing to use the gun mount-free.

The gun also carries another classic PSG1 feature, which is the Heckler & Koch Bolt Hold Open System: When the magazine is empty and the last round has been fired, the bolt will lock back internally to indicate that you can no longer fire, to which you would replace the magazine and release the bolt. Do note due to this the gun cannot be dry fired, unless a switch on the top of the magazine is pushed over to enable dry fire mode which prevents the follower from contacting the bolt carrier group. The Green Gas magazine that comes with the gun holds a total of 20 rounds, just like it's real steel counterpart, otherwise known as a Real-Cap and weighs just as much as the real thing would when loaded with 20 rounds of 7.62x51.

Lets not forget the awesome part about this replica, it's Gas Blowback. The recoil bolt system in the PSG1 is manufactured to perfection and offers an immersive, realistic and shoulder budging kick that provides a shooting satisfaction like no other GBB.

The UMAREX Heckler & Koch PSG1 is an amazing replica that represents the traditional in it's truest form and any authentic firearms fanatic will be drooling over this epic Gas Blowback rifle."
