The VFC 416 shown on ASGI doesn't have the huge warning on the side anymore, and more accurate trades.

Are we looking at the same thing?

I still see a warning label and incorrect trades.

Da fuq. They looked fine before. And what's incorrect about the trades?

If other companies aggressively went after licenses, there would be competition out there. But too many of them are still importing stuff from china on the cheap and trying to avoid markup. Even if the middle man were not involved, the time involved and process of securing trades would still cost the manufacturer. So either way, prices would go up. If you have to pay an American to schmooze with firearms companies, what difference does it make if he works for your company or for some other company you hired? Probably costs more to have the American on your own payroll.

The VFC SCAR-L and SCAR-H are already available with full trademarks. AONW has some, and they're only $20-25 more than the non-traded ones.

PM me if you want a VFC Mk16 FDE.

I see this is also affecting the P90's too? Evike posted that those are trademark protected also.

Of course it would come with it's own changes and complications, but a third man wouldn't be profiteering off of other people's business and ignorance. We haven't actually seen it before and I'm interested to think about what would change.

In the end, It's about money...

Oh noes!


So how am I going to get sweet sweet VFC Scar H goodness?

[Numinak]

I know! I was going to use the VFC M17 SSR for the base of my DMR. Gonna be a pain to do that now.

The VFC SSR is still available, it's the licensed version. They're in stock at Airsoft Outlet NW right now.

They're not going after VFC, they're going after the unlicensed models from JAG. AONW and other retailers can still get the licensed ones.
