Elite Force/VFC Avalon Gen2 VR16 Saber Carbine M4 AEG Rifle w/ M-LOK Handguard (Color: Black)

"“It’s true; all of it.”

First off, I’m very impressed. This has been hyped as a, “Krytac killer”, and out of the box, I have to say that it has a faster trigger response and rate of fire than my Krytac.

Accuracy was great. Range was pretty good-about 200’ is very doable.

I was surprised that the wiring was as thin as it was. I have to say I was a bit disappointed there. It is wired for Tamiya. The stock holds my 9.6V round nunchucks, but just barely. I did have a malfunction which, apparently, VFC is aware of, since they said if it stops firing, just switch to full auto and then back, which cleared it. It’s disappointing that the manufacturer is aware of this defect, *yet still sells it*. Come on, VFC-get this defect fixed!

I’d give it 4 1/2 stars if I could. The electrical system just is not as good as it could be. If I upgrade this, it will likely be just re-wiring the entire electrical system.

Overall, there really isn’t anything that *needs* upgrading, unless you are running Deans connectors. (But, even then, the wiring is so thin that I don’t think you’re going to gain anything in performance). So basically, if you like the look of the rifle, buy it. It will perform as well as it’s advertised.

"I purchased this a few months back and had my first chance to field it this weekend. Shot consistently at 1st day chrono at 399, 398, 400, 399. After a LONG day of games and about 5000 rds.. getting the spring broke in it chrono'd at 393, 394,392,393 on day 2. Rof with an 11.1v will make a guy happy for it not being upgraded. Trigger response for those of you (myself included) that like to shoot semi alot, is pretty prime especially for being stock. The only issue I found so far after about 10 actual in game hours of using it is the Elite Force midcaps I have were a little finicky. I had to slide them into the mag well partially and then give them a good slap into place. Not everyone's ideal thing I know but they fed just fine.
SIMPLE BREAKDOWN for those that don't wanna read the top.
Pros-
Rof for stock is better than expected with an 11.1v
Comfortable, the motor grip isn't bulky and awkward
The trigger rest, not gonna lie thought it was meh, after holding it in staging I found my finger was always on it. (I guess I did learn trigger discipline at a very young age but anyways.)
The stock is comfy on the shoulder
Good range and accuracy. Was using .25s but probably should bump to .28s
CONSISTENT fps ranging within 3 fps of each other
Now for the cons
Side tubes on the stock don't fit my titan 11.1v nunchuck but 1 can slide down the buffer tube and the lil guy can sit just beneath the butt plate going vertical so not a terrible con
Not all mags work with it. The QRS that came with it obviously does, EF mags can be tricky but still feed. Hear BAMF mags work just fine but haven't tested them yet.
And that's about it. I'm loving it.

"I recently just bought this gun (not from evike but from a local dealer) and I have to say, this is a pretty good gun. I own the vfc vr16 calibur for a few years now and decided to see what's all new on these guns. Man, the saber blows my calibur out of this world. I really enjoy the ambidextrous mag release and fire selector. That and if you have an issue with the mags not coming out (mine were fine) its a simple fix of loosing a screw and hand tightening the mag release to your preferred tension. Mine did shoot a little over 400 FPS but I have the spring compressed right now which will help lower that down. I haven't gotten into the gear box yet since there is no need to at this time but I'm sure it'll be the same thi g as my old calibur was which means it'll have a easy spring change that you can do with your thumb. That and I was kinda worried about the weight since my calibur was pretty heavy and holding the saber compared to my calibur is light and day.
