Cybergun FN Herstal SCAR-H CQB Licensed MK17 Gas Blowback Airsoft Rifle by VFC (Color: Flat Dark Earth)

"Right out of the box the gun feels good, looks good and is already lubed up and shoots amazing. However please be aware a lot of this gun is plastic, while yes it is high quality plastic. It's not metal if that's what you're looking for. Please also note if you're like me and bought a (matrix) muzzle device to replace the crappy orange tip make sure your barrel can go through it or that it fits because for me the barrel sticks out a bit and it pushed the barrel inside the gun and completely f##### over the internals and it took my local field tech hours to fix so please don't be like me.

"Amazing rifle. Blowback action is superb and really gives you a good kick for that added realism and is closed bolt like the real deal. It is a bit heavy and can become cumbersome if you plan on spending a lot of time with it in the field so be prepared to swap to your secondary if need be. The weight shouldn't scare you away from purchasing the rifle however, the astonishingly low supply of getting magazines should. You will not be able to find any magazines for this rifle on EVIKE at all and if you do, buy a lottery ticket. Other than those drawbacks, you will love this rifle. It's accurate and has plenty of room for attachments and ergonomics. Field stripping the weapon is easy as well once you do it a couple of times and the charging handle does lock back after firing the last round in your magazine. Gas efficiency is also well as I can get at least 60-70 rounds through it without having to top up the gas.

"I waited several years for this gun to be in stock and somehow eventually got one. It’s bar none the best airsoft gun I’ve ever owned, and is the only GBBR I’ve ever owned. There are almost no cons with this gun, it is super accurate and has impressive range (I have hit people well over 150 feet accurately), the recoil is super snappy and fun, and it is very efficient, and can get through around 2 mags without loss of recoil in semi, and can empty a full mag in full auto without losing power, especially in interrupted bursts. The only malfunctions I’ve experienced have been due to reloading the same mag over and over, which after a few times it can get too cold and cause malfunctions, so using several mags is expensive but necessary. Only issues I’ve had with the gun is that the stock hinge is very weak and you can easily accidentally fold the stock if you pull it in too tight for recoil, I’ll regularly slightly fold the stock whenever I aggressively round a corner or peak an angle. Lastly the front sight is offset to a cant extreme enough that the iron sights are unusable, so in my case the gun was unusable without an optic (fortunately I had one and planned on using an optic anyway). All in all good gun
Pros:
Reliable
Efficient
Realistic
Accurate and good range
Fun to shoot and good for training

Cons:
Weak stock hinge
Unusable Iron Sights

"Bought the gun in December 2021.
When you first buy the gun, and test fire it, you will think the gun is the worst gun you've ever shot accuracy and range wise. But do not worry, after around 300 rounds it will break in and the gun will become accurate enough for outdoor gameplay, and pretty satisfactory range.
WHEN REASSEMBLING THE GUN, PULL THE BOLT BACK WHILE PUSHING IN THE LOWER RECEIVER, I HAD TO FIGURE THIS OUT THE HARD WAY
Another issue I've had is sometimes the follower in the mag wont go up enough after the last round is fired to engage the bolt catch, most of the time it does, but I have had instances where it won't engage.
I bought one extra mag (cuz that's all evike had in stock) and sometimes it will double feed and BB's will roll out the barrel and gas will shoot out the chamber, but this only happened with the aftermarket mag.
As cool as the SCAR is, it can be quite the headache, and due to the lack of aftermarket parts support, I suggest investing in a GHK M4 instead unless you absolutely need a SCAR, then get this instead of WE
Pros:
-Beautiful VFC externals
-Good recoil
-Satisfactory fire-rate/snappiness
-Good range/accuracy once broken in
-NPAS
-Really handy hop up adjustment location
-Mags have really good gas efficiency
-Came with speedloader, but if you lose it you're screwed
Cons:
-Mags are never in stock
-Sometimes mag issues
-Really heavy trigger pull
-Gun might be heavy for some people, get in the gym
-Not a lot of aftermarket parts support unlike We-tech
-Not sure why/when but sometimes the hop up will just stop engaging (it seems after lots of rounds fired, but then again I've gone whole games with no problems)

"If you just want a really realistic and fun to shoot GBBR then this is a great buy. It also does have pretty good gas efficiency and a very sturdy body. I accidentally shot my cousin in the balls once and it did make his right testicle “explode” sadly I am no longer able to see him and he hates me now so I would recommend not intentionally shooting anyone who isn’t wanting to be shot. Overall very good

"Great reproduction of the FN SCAR H. Blowback action is impressive, accuracy is very good. Mag is a challenge to load without the mag loading tool (which is a bit flimsy). Very fun gun to shoot and a great addition to the GBB collection.

"Got mine yesterday, and sadly within 50 rounds the plastic bolt snapped. I'm sure I just got a lemon, but it still stinks because now I have to wait another 2 weeks to get a new one sent back to me. But besides that it seems fantastic. Nice weight, quality feel ln hand, and the blowback action is amazing. Accurate to a good distance, and the gas in mags seem to last. Can't wait to get my new scar h.

"Well let's do a pros and cons, as it's easy for you and me.

PRO:
1.Beautiful gun, externals are great.
2.Apart from beauty, very solid too.
3.internal integrity is strong.
4.Very powerful blowback.
5.very light, at least for me, as my same model, same branded VFC Scar H AEG, was a bit heavier.
6.Very realistic actions, trades, and mag capacity, and even fire rate.
7.Not over priced for the gun you get.
8.Accurate when the hop up actually works...
CONS:
1.My hop up seemed to no work in my first mag.
2.Cold Weather will screw your gun up, literally in 25-38 degrees fahrenheit leaks all gas in your first shot.
3.very realistic for gas spewing, however my spewd a little too much making gas consumption high.
4.I would use this as a DMR and would like higher fps, but that can be fixed/ tweaked.
5. Not quite loud enough, I strive for realism this gun has everything, beside the bang I am looking for.
OVERALL:
In my opinion I just got a lemon, however the issues discussed all can be fixed, however with a cost of course, but I still feel like this is one of the best GBBR's on the market.
Thanks for reading.

"I already wrote one review so this is more of an update. Overall the gun is great and I highly recommend getting one. Being a blowback gun, all the screws tend to walk themselves out with recoil over time, not a huge issue, I just recommend retightening them and using loctite, however there are two screws that hold the barrel in place, the one on the front near the fake gas block got striped out when I retightened it (barely any torque). Without that screw tight, the barrel will flop about loosely and the gun is unusably accurate and wobbles horribly. Fortunately I was able to completely disassemble the gun and retap the barrel for threads that accept a larger bolt to hold the barrel in place, but the use of bolts to secure the barrel and also attach the rail system is an inherent design flaw, and I wonder why VFC differed the design from the real Scars free float barrel system. Still a great airsoft replica and works like a charm, just a considerable flaw in the design I encourage all potential buyers to take into account and be cautious of

"its pretty nice, but I cant find a new inner barrel for it. I bought an angel custom barrel but it was not compatible. it also shoots 15-30 fps higher than my field limit. not too much if an issue if your field owner is chill but is if it's strict.


overall not a bad gun. Just have some issues that are severe for me, but maybe not for you.

"It worked very well until the spring behind the nozzle broke. I replaced it, but then it ended up breaking again after I shot it for the first time after the spring replacement, then broken pieces of the nozzle, and chewed up BBs started falling out of the magwell. I can't replace the nozzle because the screw that holds it inside the bolt was so tight, it ended up stripping, and there are so few replacement parts available for this gun.

"Wonderful gun to buy and hang on your wall. Looks great. But if you want to play Airsoft think again. GBBR's break and there are absolutely no parts available for this gun except a nozzle. The gun double fed first time I used it and damaged to the nozzle. I looked for a nozzle and return spring, had to order the nozzle in China and wait for it and there was no return spring available. I hope that someone will answer this and tell me where I can buy parts in Thailand for it.
