USAirsoft: VFC M27 IAR Review

OptimusPrime

USAirsoft got his hands on the VFC M27 IAR provided by Airsoft Station for a video review... "The VFC M27 IAR is one of my favorite M4 type rifles. I want a rifle that feels invisible to what I can do to it by mistake and I want it to be as easy to use as possible. From the stock to the handguard, the M27 can accommodate any player but if the M27 is a bit too long for your liking then how about the 416? Preferences are preferences but maybe yours match mine."
