You're always going to get that with new stuff. People want the newest thing and then see an even shinier new thing they want.

I expect some people underestimated how big and heavy they actually are too

Yeah, plus it's about AK length. I think people play some video games and hear SMG expecting it to be tiny and nimble. 

Haven't held the VFC but held a deac PPSh once and yeah, the gun is heavy and the drum really weighs it down more. The drum wasn't even loaded lmao. 

Those Soviet teenagers had to have eaten their Weetabix let's put it that way.

Would not recommend the silicon oil soak. The o-rings in VFC guns are nitrile, silicon oil doesn't inflate them or anything like that. Has no benefit.

May just need to tighten the output valve slightly, or grease (not oil) the inner o-rings so they sit a bit better.

Wouldn't recommend oiled gas either, it gets sprayed all over your hop rubber.

Abandoned the silicone oil soak after your message. I did however try tightening the valve then stored for a week with maintenance gas and leak has stopped now...

i always store my gas mags with a puff of maintenance gas in them,  but make sure to purge them before use to limit any lubricants going in hop unit

I expect some people underestimated how big and heavy they actually are too

TBH I don't think it's that bad weight wise... 

Two biggest issues I have noted so far (with only 2 game days so far) for me are reloading...   its a faff to unlatch the front plate and swap the mag in the drum on the field,  so i did need the pair of spare drums at an outdoor field where I could use full auto....

That and I need to get a proper period correct sling for it (either genuine or repro)  so I can run it as a secondary.  I was running a kombat MTP sling on it last weekend at the ollie talks airsoft memorial game at C3, but had to fiddle to get it through the sling point on the stock...  and may have to cut the sling off the stock at this rate

Had two marshalls and several players all fawning over it.....   until I mentioned the price...  and all but one player were impressed with it's rate of fire on full auto....   that one player being one of three birthday boys who had to run a gauntlet....  everyone was taking turns on the firing line checking their weapons were feeding, while the gauntlet trio stood 20m down range....

and then my turn... *BRRRRRTT*...  this one guy then shuffled to the far side of the gauntlet and shouted back "fuck that. Thats just evil"
