At $250, I think this VFC G36C is a great price for a gas blowback replica. It's super lightweight, very solid feeling, and genuinely really, really comfortable in the hand. Out of the box it wasn't flawless: full auto was jamming and the two-round burst wasn't cycling properly, which I suspect is the packing grease. It did start working a lot better once I cycled it, but I definitely need to clean it out. So far I'm impressed and very excited to put it through proper testing.

Problems he hit

Full-auto jammed / failed to cycle properly on first fill, suspected packing grease · 22:53

Slight front-to-back play in the handguard · 19:25

Out of the box

30Mag capacity
250Price quoted

No chrono in this video. Stock cycling was not flawless: full-auto jammed and 2-round burst often fired once; Ed suspects heavy factory packing grease. Improved after repeated cycling. Very lightweight polymer build; lots of factory grease; horrible orange flash hider removed; no Picatinny rail sections included.

Caveats

  • Unboxing/first impressions only; no chrono, accuracy, or range testing performed in this video
  • All scores inferred from Ed's qualitative comments; he gave no numeric ratings
  • Out-of-box cycling issues may be factory packing grease per Ed's own suspicion, not a confirmed defect
  • Prices ($250 rifle, $42.31 green gas mags) quoted from Redwolf Airsoft at filming; rifle and mags reported out of stock
