So I got a WOC and wanted to sex it up a bit, and of course being I always had one in the Army I wanted a PEQ-2 on the side. Knowing that VFC was the only company that made a realistic sized PEQ I started the search for a used one (they are discontinued). I couldn't find one, but I noticed Dboys had started selling their new PEQ-2 that comes with their 416 by itself. It's obvious it's something new since it now included the blue safety block. I ordered one from Boom Arms for a whopping $15 bucks, and while it was taking a plane ride I found a VFC for $25 bucks. Now you get to see the difference.
I fail at pictures, but you should get the idea.

Showing they are the same thickness exactly, and so is the length.
VFC top, Dboys in the fail picture on the bottom.
This is a damn good copy of the VFC. Only noticable differences are the finish, stickers, and the font of the raised words on the box is a tad different.
The VFC finish is a bit shinier like the real thing, the Dboys is much more matte and a bit rougher.
From what I can remember I believe the Dboys stickers are a bit more true to the real thing in size and font, but their's also say Insight Technologies and the VFC says Vega Force Company.
Only other notes are that the Dboys comes in their standard plastic bag and you have to put the stickers on yourself. Also the Dboys uses a spring loaded clamp for the mounting with the screw on the right side, where the VFC uses just a screw and rail clamp with the screw on the left side. Also the fire button on the Dboys is hard plastic, where on the VFC it is rubber and actually pushes in.
Don't really know what you can put in it, as it's just for looks. Look up VFC PEQ reviews if you want to know what size of battery will go in it.
