    I decided I would do a quick review of the VFC M4 E-S Tactical carbine today :)
    I'm not going to be taking it apart or reviewing the internals in depth (sorry!)

    1.Externals
    The whole gun is very very very solid, the only slight wobble i can see is in the stock, which seems to be common with most M4 variants in airsoft.
    There are trades, for those of you who care about them: IMG_0825.jpgIMG_0823.jpg
    And the finish is very good quality. The rails are CNC made and there is absolutely NO movement in them, they're nice and long and can hold pretty much any optics, lights, grenade launchers that you may like.
    There is a functioning dummy bolt and bolt catch, which give access to the easily adjustable hop-up (which stays where you set it!) IMG_0826.jpgIMG_0824.jpg

    The one issue i have to say I had with the externals of this gun was the dust cover, it really won't stay closed, not much of a problem, but the little catch seems to be much to small to stay on.
    The gun is wired to the back, to the stock and will take a 9.6v ''nunchuk'' style battery. IMG_0833.jpg


    The outer barrel is threaded (14mm Counter clockwise)IMG_0851.jpg
    As soon as I got the gun i replaced the stock hop up rubber with a madbull type, this didn't seem to work for me at all, the little fins getting caught on the bbs and shreading, i replaced this with a guarder clear rubber and now the range really is very very good. The rate of fire and trigger response are really fast and it doesn't seem to go throught batteries very quickly, (but i do find i need to change battery during a full days gaming)

    2. Disassembly
    To get to the hop up rubber and inner barrel all that's involved is pushing out the front body pin (Just to the left of the word stoner) And slide the front of the upper reciever forward. Make sure that the dust cover is close, as this will catch on the body pin. after taht you can take out the barrel easily! :)IMG_0825.jpg
    3.Conclusion
    It isn't exactly cheap at around 399 euro, but it is worth every single cent, the range, rate of fire and build quality are spectacular. There is a huge amount of modification possible to do to it and I really really would recommend it to anyone looking for a gun taht's going to last..

As stock, the M4 was shooting at 280 fps, came with a 300rnd high capacity magazine and no scope or silencer, I replaced the spring and it's now shooting at 320 fps.
