King Arms VSS Vintorez Full Metal Airsoft AEG Sniper Rifle

"Disregard my last review as it is incorrect, I have discovered that there is no problem with the guns internal as it appears king arms fixed it themselves, instead, the problem is the high cap magazines, buy the midcaps instead, you wont regret it, also don't try to fix the weapon as they already fixed it, as they have failed to mention.

"Bought this along with the King Arms AS Val.
Right off the bat I gotta mention the fact that the current generation of King Arms VSS Vintorez's and AS Vals have inline mosfets, which is an awesome bonus since even the LCT versions don't have mosfets out of the box.
That's where most of the pros and tho unfortunately.
Out of the box my Vintorez only intermittently shot semi auto on the semi auto position.
The gun would fire 2-3 round bursts after every other pull of the trigger on Semi.
The AS Val had no such issues thankfully.
I managed to get the gun firing semi consistently.
It's pretty much entirely a V3 internally.
Disassembly isn't too hard, but the forward-most body pin that keeps the outer barrel/trunion in place was ridiculously hard to punch out, and just as hard to punch back into place.
All that aside the internals are somewhat dated. The short-type motor does seem to have a bit of torque. Out of the box the gun fired around 390-ish FPS. The nozzle length is 19.45mm, so somewhat proprietary. Standard v2/v3 gearset, plastic tooth piston and piston head, non ported cylinder, cylinder head, plastic v3 spring guide and 7mm bearings. Also uses a standard AK hopup unit. Clean the inner barrel too, its filthy. The rubber buttpad on my Vintorez is also sorta loose and I don't see any easy way to tighten it. The orange circular tip isn't too hard to remove aside from the metal pin on the bottom side of it that you've gotta dig out. The Matrix brand PSO-1 scope does fit it just fine too. Aside from having to fix the gun myself, I'm fairly happy with it so far.

"Nice gun after all. Shoulder-stock had a wable had to put 2 washers under the bolt that is on the bottom.
Had a very good ROF but its almost impossible to install Matrix 11.1v 2000mAh 20C Airsoft Li-Poly Battery - Tamiya Connector THEY ARE VERY FAT, Battery barely fits in without plastic clip there is even no room for a electrical tape so DON'T tape them together. If i knew that i would went with 1300-1400mAh so they fit with no problem.

"Not bad. 4/5
pros
It looks like a VSS, and looks amazing with posp or pso-1 scope, and has a decently high ROF, fps within field levels.

cons,
the extremely noisy hicap mag. (rattle)
doesnt look right without scope, lol.
comes with annoying orange cap glued on, a minute with a heat gun fixed that.

great value for the price, but expect to drop another $200 or more on correct scope (dont cheap out, buy the authentic firefield or Belarus factory models.)

"I must have gotton a dunst or something because after 3 month the gun just kinda die and before that the selector switch got stuck in full auto. I'm working on fixing it but i'll see what happens.
Beside for that. when it did work it was awesome i ran it with .28 and could pretty much hit any target i could see
Solid construction and it just looks so darn cool.

"First off, the gun looks and feels amazing, it is almost exactly like the real thing, and the stock is real wood.
When you first purchase this gun know this, it is a hard time to get the gun to even function properly, if you do purchase the gun, look up King Arms VSS chamber2 and purchase it as well, there are about 3 videos online of how to fix it, if you don't, the gun will misfeed, dryfire, and the bbs will fall short, once you get it running though it is amazing to use, I would recommend this gun, but be prepared to have that issue with it, but the payoff is satisfying. The battery is hard to fit in but it will work with the battery listed below the gun, and for the love of all that is holy, get the mid cap magazines, and make sure they are king arms magazines or else they wont fit, the high caps have feeding issues sometimes and they make a lot of noise. The midcaps solve these issues.

I recommend this purchase because the gun is beautiful, once you get it running, the bbs actually travel at around 420 m/s, and it is very powerful. Although the installation seems complex, anyone can do it. I don't want anyone to make the same mistake I did. Recap: Get the King arms VSS chamber2 and install it if you want a gun you can game, use the mid cap magazines, use the 1300 matrix batteries, and make sure that the fire selector behind the trigger is functional before you fix the gun *KEEP IN MIND FIXING THE GUN VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY*

"First off the externals and cosmetics of the gun are good, the metal and wood feel nice, the stick was loose when I unboxed it but I tightened the screw and it was fine again EXTERNALY this gun is great.

Performance wise this gun disappointed. Using the recommended 11.1 battery the Piston broke and now the gun is little more than a noise maker, did not get to Chrono so do not know how hard it was shooting, range wise the range was decentish the bb's curved left and before I could properly adjust the hopup, maybe 30 bb's through the hicap the Piston broke.

PROS:
Weight is nice.
Externals and cosmetics are nice.

CONS:
Internals
DO NOT USE AN 11.1 IN THIS GUN OF YOU BUY THIS.

This was my first King Arms gun and if it worked good I planned on getting some other King Arms guns, but after this I will not waste my time with them.
