Tested by Ed

This is my unboxing and first impressions of the VFC PP19-01 Vityaz, and so far it is living up to my expectations 100%. It's built entirely in steel, the recoil is mental, and it's super snappy — it fed every single BB and stopped on empty. It's not cheap at $539 from RedWolf plus $47 per mag, but I love the VFC AK line and I think these are worth it. If it performs like my other VFC AKs, this could be my new favourite little CQB weapon. The proper review with chrono readings will come in a future video.

Problems he hit

Factory flash hider heavily glued; grub screw and threads stuck, needed multiple tools and several minutes to remove · 13:20

Top cover has 'the usual wiggle' which Ed dislikes, though he notes it is reportedly realistic to the real steel · 07:44

Out of the box

35Mag capacity

$539 from RedWolf before tariff/shipping; spare 35-round mags $47 eachPrice quoted

No chrono or accuracy testing in this video; Ed promises both for a future review. Ed removed the factory buffer before firing, so recoil/cycling impressions are not fully stock. Ran on Swiss Arms 150 psi gas; one fill cycled well past 35 dry-fire shots; with BBs it fed every round and stopped on empty.

Caveats

Unboxing/first impressions only — no chrono, accuracy, or long-term reliability testing in this video
Ed removed the factory buffer before firing, so shooting impressions are not fully out-of-the-box
All scores are inferred from Ed's verbal impressions; he gave no numeric ratings
Ed is a self-declared VFC AK fan ('I love the VFC AKs'), so enthusiasm bias is possible
Price quoted is RedWolf (Hong Kong) before tariff and shipping; only about one mag of BBs fired on camera
