HFC USR-11 Review

1: General Impressions

This Rifle When First Handled is rock solid, no creaks or rattling of any kind. The Bolt is Pulled back with ease and can be done so with moderate force using just your pinky. The action of the bolt is smooth and silent and is almost as if it is running on bearings of some sort, although this is most likely not the case.

One thing that some people may not like about this rifle is its lack of a scope mount. this must be purchased separately and can be acquired for around 10$ USD. Fortunately for those people who hate scopes or can just do without them, this gun comes standard with completely adjustable Iron Sights which are extremely functional, practical, and not to shabby looking on top of that.

2: Upgrade Potential

The USR-11 takes every single upgrade that the vsr-10 would take, among these upgrades are Power Springs, Reinforcement parts, Tight bore barrels, Silencers, Full Wood stocks, and even full conversion kits. The guns internals are solid and Well put together, as well as simple. upgrading this gun would not be a problem.

3: Performance

The performance of this weapon was something to be skeptical about due to the fact that it is a copy of an already existing model. Copies such as these are often less sturdy and are sometimes slightly changed for the worse due to copyright laws. But this was not the case, This rifle shoots 273 FPS Low 286 FPS High and an Average of 277.4 FPS. It is dead accurate to about 36 meters or 120 feet with a maximum range of about 48 meters or 160 feet. Another neat future of this gun is that it is based of Tokyo Marui�s VSR-10 Real Shock which means it has recoil for every shot you take. not only is the recoil fairly strong but gives you a great confidence boost. The rifle is also Pretty quiet in spring gun standards and TONS quieter then an AEG, it is very difficult to tell where you are being shot at from with this rifle on the field. another thing about this rifle...which depending on your point of view can be good or bad, is its lightness. Unscoped this guns weight is a mere 5lbs, that's extremely light for a replica bolt action rifle

4: Value

Is this Rifle Worth its price may you ask. oh yeah, With a price of about 99$ USD the same I paid for the infamous UHC Super 9, It is most definitely worth the price. When this gun is showed to friends, they all say they are getting one and almost have 200 bucks " how much more is it" they ask. At that point me and Khyron each begin to laugh and go for that Amount, you can buy two!.

6 Month Run In

This gun after 6 months of Being Skirmished in our harsh playing field has been used in downpours, been filled with desert sand, dropped in a 20 foot dune of cow dung, set through a blizzard �Where my hands froze to the rifle� and the only part of it that failed was the magazine. The VSR-10 50 RD magazines are a tight fit and do not feed properly but the standard mags work just fine and can be purchased for about $10 USD. This is definitely a rifle worth investing in.

I hope this review was helpful, it was 6 months in the making

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Value, upgradability, value, good overall performance
Cons:	Minor Magazine Issues

I would like to start by saying this is not a review at all. Just an add-on, an important add-on, to Salty's review. He mentioned that the gun shoots around 277FPS w/ .2's and that it has a real shock kick. This kick is caused by some zinc weights on the piston. By removing these, the guns becomes quieter, less recoil(ed), and shoots at around 360 FPS w/ .2's. There is a guide to remove them at http://www.geocities.com/drilltheshockweights/
My apologies if links are not allowed, in that case, take this post down. Or better yet, have someone who knows what he or she is doing do it for you. Thanks.
