This video shows Red of Barbarossa Tactical Shop and customizer Evilzek discussing Gas Blowback rifles from VFC, Cyma, and G&G. They explain that GBB replicas are often designed for higher power than Italian law allows (1 joule), meaning they need modifications like a proper hop-up bucking to achieve better performance locally. For VFC rifles, common upgrades include anti-rotation pins, a better hop-up unit, barrel, and an optimized buffer spring to enhance ballistics and consistency.
6mm Badger tries some foregrips to check which one he prefers to use with his VFC KS-1 gas blowvback rifle... "I tested three different foregrip options on my VFC KS-1 to see which one looks best and actually works with the long thin M-LOK rail and my LPVO setup. I started with a 3D-printed mini hook grip, swapped to a Die Free Co Tiger Claw, and then tried two BCM parts I ordered — the BCM KAG (hook) grip and the BCM MOD-3 vertical grip.
Airsoft Chay checks out the VFC AKS74U Gas Blowback Rifl, a highly realistic gas blowback airsoft rifle featuring a robust steel construction and authentic wooden handguards. Whilst the external build quality is exceptional and closely mimics the real firearm, the reviewer noted small cosmetic drawbacks, such as a plasticky pistol grip and a finish that can be prone to scratching under heavy use.
Jaeger Precision performs a series of internal upgrades on a VFC L403A1 (KS-1) gas blowback rifle to prepare it for close-quarters combat. The process begins with the removal of the external optics and the disassembly of the rifle's upper receiver. He demonstrates how to access the hop-up unit and inner barrel by removing specific grub screws, noting that this particular model allows the assembly to be pushed out from the rear without specialized tools.
In this video, Ran reviews the Strike Micro Pistol (SMP) by VFC, a licensed 6mm airsoft replica of the real Strike Industries firearm. He highlights its exceptionally compact size—comparable to the length of a finger—noting its high-quality construction featuring a metal slide and a textured polymer frame that provides a comfortable grip despite its small scale.
Hades Airsoft pitted the VFC Umarex HK416 GBB against the Tokyo Marui MWS in a comprehensive comparison. As a British Army veteran, he provided a detailed breakdown of the build quality, recoil, realism, and performance of both airsoft rifles. His goal was to evaluate the weapons from a soldier's perspective, offering an honest verdict on which model felt closer to the real-life counterpart.

This model is designed for close-quarters battle (CQB) environments, featuring a compact frame and a construction focused on durability and realistic operation. As part of VFC’s lineup, the replica emphasizes mechanical responsiveness and a high level of external finish, maintaining a weight distribution intended for improved handling during tactical use.
Jaeger Precision does an initial review of the VFC Walther PDP GBB Airsoft Pistol, comparing its design to the older, more comfortable but poorly performing VFC HK VP9. The modern Walther PDP is described as chunky with an optics-ready slide and adjustable sights. After a brief disassembly, he points out its more conventional blowback housing, which suggests better reliability than the VP9, and performs a chronograph test showing a decent output of around 0.97 Joules.
