Wow, PyramidAir was the last place I'd expect to post one of these first...

Sure as heck doesn't look like a VFC with those gigantic HK trades on the side... more like some Umarex creation.

You sure that's VFC? With a ~30rnd mag it could be the WE. The price is right on the money for a WE too.

Probably is the Umarex or CA Version the VFC comes with a proper HK Style Stock not a Crane, it also has the old style grip instead of the newer L119 Style One. They haven't got em yet it's a pre order so they've used any old 416 picture, nice one guys!

Can someone, please, indicate the price and date of availability for those of us who are on a stupid corporate network (UGH!) that blocks these kinds of sites? dry.gif

Not sure just how accurate the information is considering that the image is of an AEG (as pointed out by previous posters), however:

Pyramid Air has been getting a lot of interesting guns lately, outside of their usual Umarex and Cybergun stock. Case in point, what appear to be Maruzen GBB's:

-PPK: http://www.pyramydair.com/cgi-bin/model.pl?model_id=1451
-P99: http://www.pyramydair.com/cgi-bin/model.pl?model_id=1456

So I'm led to believe that they might have a new supplier or something. I've emailed them about it and will post any info I get.

Unfortunately it's absolutely possible that this is the VFC Version. VFC already had a cooperation with Umarex to produce 416 AEG with those giant, unrealistic trademarks. They are available in Germany.

For reference: http://www.kotte-zeller.de/websale7/Heckle...75d5eb29a5/md5}

Umarex seems to force all manufacturers to apply unrealistic "original" trademarks if they want a licence.

Let's hope so, but as I know the strange policy of Umarex I'm not that optimistic. VFC already had a perfect looking 416 AEG, but Umarex forced them to change the gun (respectively the markings) to get the offical licence.

That is not a GBB. The photo shows an AEG. look at the photo with the dust cover and hop up wheel. I believe this is like a WA systme so I don't think that is possible.

Umarex = CA for the 416, NOT VFC.

35 rounds only? dry.gif
It would have been nice if they had included some kind of NPAS system to adjust FPS.

That website have no mention of Umarex at all. Where did you hear Umarex license HK to VFC?
