In this Field Test Shooting Video I test out the Velocity and Accuracy of the Umarex VFC Heckler & Koch HK416C V2 AEG Airsoft Rifle by first placing 5 rounds through my Chronograph and recording the feet per second of each shot then averaging them out. For the second portion of my Indoor Shooting Performance Test I setup a paper target 30 feet away and then shoot 10 rounds back to back to see what the spread or grouping size is. I follow this up with a full auto burst just for fun to see if the grouping still remains nice and tight.
For my Velocity test I used .25 grain Plastic Airsoft BB’s rather than the .20 in the claimed fps over 366 fps so I was expecting to get a little bit slower results. I did manage to average right around 325.5 fps with all shots consistently hitting either 325 or 326 fps so super consistent.
I then setup my brand new paper target and using a rested and seated shooting position from 30 feet back I placed my first 10 rounds into the target. This is when I discovered the Umarex VFC Heckler & Koch HK416C V2 AEG Airsoft Rifle liked to shoot fairly low even when using the raised elevation option on the rear sight. Because of this I had to aim a little bit higher on the paper target to place shoots more centered. Once I figure out my aim point I did mange to get a fairly tight 10 round grouping of close to an inch with a couple of stagers pushing it out to 2 inches. Full auto was as predicted, lots of fun with a nice hole in the paper/cardboard leaving about a 3.5 inch opening.
The Umarex VFC Heckler & Koch HK416C V2 AEG Airsoft Rifle performed well for me once I figured out that it liked to shoot rather low. I would suggest placing a bit of a spacer or riser under the rear sight to bring up the barrel at least for closer in shots where hop-up may not ark the Airsoft BB enough at that point. Other than that the Umarex VFC Heckler & Koch HK416C V2 AEG Airsoft Rifle had super consistent performance in terms of both FPS and accuracy.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Umarex VFC Heckler & Koch HK416C V2 AEG Airsoft Rifle is similar to a light single action trigger as they are essentially an electrical on off switch. There is about a quarter inch of take up with virtually no extra friction to let you know when the release is going to be, with a bit of use you will figure out exactly when the trigger will release the action.
Accuracy: At this time I have not made my Field Test Shooting Video or even shot the Umarex VFC Heckler & Koch HK416C V2 AEG Airsoft Rifle, but plan to make my Field Test Shooting Video shortly. So stay posted for that video coming out soon. I do expected Umarex VFC Heckler & Koch HK416C V2 AEG Airsoft Rifle to perform well as it is a high quality and not so inexpensive AEG Airsoft Rifle.
Build Quality: The Build quality on the Umarex VFC Heckler & Koch HK416C V2 AEG Airsoft Rifle looks to be really good, there are lots of quality metal parts throughout this Airsoft Rifle including the top and bottom receiver, rails, sights, flash hider, magazine, charging handle, selector switch, magazine release, forward assist, dust cover and trigger. VFC (Vega Force Company) is the actual manufacturer of this product line and they are well know for making high quality Airsoft products.
Realism: The Umarex VFC Heckler & Koch HK416C V2 AEG Airsoft Rifle is a 1 to 1 scale fully licensed replica of the real steel HK 416 compact CQB styled rifles but in an even more compact design I believe specifically only found in Airsoft versions as I was not able to find the exact same model on the H&K Website. That said most part work in the same manner as you would find on the real steel version including the Charging Handle, Forward Assist, Bolt Release, Magazine Release, Selector Switch and Pop-up sights.

Comments:
The Umarex VFC H&K AEG Airsoft product line is going to be on the higher end of the price spectrum for sure but you are getting a really quality product here fully H&K licensed. The Umarex VFC Heckler & Koch HK416C V2 AEG Airsoft Rifle is perhaps one of my favorites as I like more simplistic and minimalist styles of guns and this one for sure fits into that category. Even though it is small in nature it is super solid and heavier then it looks for sure when you pick it up with all the metal parts making up its build quality. I look forward to seeing how well the Umarex VFC Heckler & Koch HK416C V2 AEG Airsoft Rifle performs in my upcoming Field Test Shooting Video.
My Vimeo Table Top Review for the Umarex VFC HK416C V2 AEG Airsoft Rifle:
In this video I show you four Premium AEG Airsoft Rifles made by VFC and distributed and H&K Licensed by Umarex. This is not a detailed review but rather I focus on the basic specification and show my reaction as I take my first look at all four Umarex H&K AEG Airsoft Rifles. I do show off some close up photos so you can get an idea on the finish and what some of the components look like.
