Description
The VFC GBBR VR16 URG-I 11.5"outer barrel EVO Standard replica, a full-metal gas-operated platform in the modern URG-I format
The VFC GBBR VR16 URG-I 11.5" EVO Standard external barrel replica is designed for airsoft players seeking a realistic gas-operated blowback platform, built in the spirit of contemporary URG-I configurations. Designed in the Standard version without engravings, it features VFC's V3 Gas Blowback system combined with a new valve-operated firing mechanism, delivering a semi- and fully-automatic firing experience that closely mimics the handling of a real AR platform.
Full-metal construction and field-ready finish
The VR16 URG-I 11.5" EVO Standard is constructed entirely of metal, featuring an 11.5" one-piece outer barrel and a 4-prong steel SF-style flash hider directly inspired by current military configurations. The 10.5" M-LOK-standard URG-I rail is equipped with a Picatinny rail, allowing it to accommodate a wide variety of scopes and accessories without modification. The pistol grip and stock are made of polymer, with a rubber buttpad for a secure shoulder hold. The entire unit weighs 2,545 g, which is in line with the expected weight for this type of compact configuration.
GBBR V3 System and EVO Hop-Up
At the heart of the replica is VFC's V3 receiver, equipped with a new valve-type firing system that improves the consistency of the firing cycle. The blowback is noticeable and directly contributes to the realistic feel of firing, whether in semi-auto or full-auto mode. The EVO hop-up system, developed in-house by VFC, is adjustable to adapt the BB's spin based on the weight of the ammunition used. The outer barrel has a 14 mm CCW (counter-clockwise) thread, compatible with most suppressors and tracers available on the market.
Ergonomics and Adaptability in the Field
The total length of the replica is adjustable between 750 and 830 mm thanks to the adjustable stock, allowing it to be adapted to different body types or tactical gear. A metal CQD sling swivel is integrated into the stock tube, and a QD attachment point is located at the rear for securing a sling according to the desired configuration. Field disassembly is designed to be realistic, with handling procedures identical to those of a real AR platform. The included V3 VMAG 30-bbs gas magazine features a dry-fire function, which allows you to continue firing dry rounds to simulate the replica's cycle once the magazine is empty, without damaging the system.
