Comparing the VFC m4 to the Lonex m4
As some of you know I recently bought my first AEG, and at the time I was torn between a VFC and a Lonex. I ended up choosing the Lonex because of their reputation for quality internals, and better pricing. So far I don't regret my choice. My gun shoots a consistent 400fps nice and straight with good grouping. I could have done without the EBB, which I didn't know I was getting, but at the same time there is something satisfying about that little extra kick you get when you fire.
The main comment about the VFC that I heard was their top notch externals, and at the time I compared them at the store and didn't see much difference between the two. This weekend my son's friend came to the field with us, and he had a VFC, so I was able to spend some time comparing the two guns in detail. What I found is that the two guns are almost identical in every way! With the exception of a couple of very minor things; slightly different sling points, slightly different triggers and different outer barrel detailing, (mine had a longer barrel) you could not tell them apart. They were so much alike that I would hazard to say they both came out of the same factory!
I wonder how many factories there are making airsoft guns...there can't be THAT many...
