wgcshop is now carrying 190rd magazines for the VFC BAR. Now all you lucky BAR owners can get the 9-11 magazines needed to fill that BAR belt. www.wgcshop.com/

They are hicap's, correct? I would hold off and only get a few in my opinion. Having a bunch of hicap's will cost alot, and I am sure they will come out with midcap and lowcap magazines for the BAR later in the year. Just some advice for all of those with too much money to spend.

It says 190 rounds, and ya for 40 bucks a pop 9-11 extra magazines adds up quick. I can't really see cheap (like plastic, or chinese, or anyone other than VFC) mid or low caps coming out for a high price gun like this one, especially since there is only one maker for it (VFC) and it's for a selective market as is. Who knows though.

The 190 round magazines for the VFC BAR uses a Marui style 190 round inner magazine from the M-16 VN series.
What a person could do is buy several of the inexpensive knock off M-16 VN magazines (mid caps) (Deepfire or King Arms) and use their internals (The intact, inner plastic case) together with a real BAR metal clip housing which are available for 20.00 a piece and build your own for around $30.00. You'd be rid of the winding and rattles and would have real steel components as part of your kit.

Is it just me or as I'm looking at the ad for the BAR it suggests a FPS of 280 or 290 FPS? Say it isn't so! This baby should be firing in the high 300 shouldn't it? I'm hoping they are suggesting a lower then actual FPS so they can export into Japan and the UK and that they actually shoot way harder then that. Does any one who owns one of these have some first hand chrono results?

They said that for the CNC version. The two I got are running at 390-410. There was a "factory" upgrade for the ones exported to the US. Of course swapping the springs in this gearbox is easy peasy lemon squeezy. Just take out the rear retaining pin, slide out old spring and insert new better spring and bada bing bada boom. Hi power blaster goes gaga.
Glad they are finally coming out with the extra mags though. Making lowcaps is a pain in the ass. The original ones need a fair amount of modification to fit the VFC and they are using good steel on those so grinding/cutting takes awhile.

Yes he did and it's very impressive when you see him assaulting a bunker complex with one slung under each arm big sh%$t eating grin on his face. Seriously he indeed does and they are absolutley the most spectacular looking airsoft gun I have ever seen and handled. They are an incredible piece.

Actually I have only one now. I sold the other to a fellow on the east coast. And John is right. They are simply the most spectacular looking airsoft gun I have ever seen. Took it to the gun show and had 20 offers on it by the end of the day......assuming it was a real BAR. Even after they held it I had problems explaining to people that it shot bbs not .30-06. If it was a real BAR then I could have sold it many times over.

Ordered 6 mags, and BTW its not that hard to mod the mags to hold twice as many bbs.
