Hello fellow airsofters! I'm looking to purchase a new rifle, and have always been in love with the FAL. Both the history of the real weapon, and using it in COD. Knock on me if you will but I am not ashamed of my hobbies =P Anywho, i have a few choices and was wondering about getting some insight from the more experienced individuals. Even if you don't own or have never used a FAL, maybe the brand names and my dilemma explanation will be enough. Ok so first off, I'm looking at a possible 4 choices. Before you get in to the weapons, please note choice #1 has a version 2 gearbox, slightly less fps, but can use m4/m16 mags. Mags would be cheaper and there's more options. Says there are plenty of room and options for upgrades. It doesn't have a mounitng rail on top but i know where i can purchase one for about $30. Choices 2-4 have version 3 gearboxes, higher fps, but can only use fal mags, and i would have to buy more expensive Classic Army Mid cap mags and I don't even know if those would fit for sure. I would rather use low or mid cap mags than high cap. Being from the military I'd rather reload than wind haha. Also mid and low caps feed much better.
Choice #1 - G&G Licensed FN Herstal FNC Full Metal Airsoft AEG Battle Rifle
Product Found Here
Price - $299.95, no coupons, free shipping, battery and charger not included
Superior Construction and Authentic Design:
The G&G FNC AEG is completely constructed from high quality metal, except for the pistol grip and hand guard. The side folding stock is very sturdy and comes in quite handy when entering close quarters environments. The hand guard provides plenty of space for installing a mini 8.4v or 9.6v battery, as well as 8.4v and 9.6v nunchuck batteries. The ability to use standard M4 magazines with this AEG provides a wider variety of compatible magazines, and makes it easier to find magazines for this AEG. The G&G FNC has a front and rear sling mount perfect for single and two point slings. The G&G FNC is incredibly well balanced for a larger AEG, and can be easily and comfortably shouldered. Adding to this AEG's authenticity are the laser engraved trademarks, prominently displaying the FN Herstal logo as well as a unique serial number. G&G definitely succeeded in making what is truly one of the most realistic airsoft replicas on the market!
Industry Leading Internal Design:
The internals of the G&G FNC AEG are made from the best internal components G&G has to offer, including 8mm ball bearing bushings, a steel gear set, and a high torque motor. Unlike many unique airsoft AEGs on the market, the G&G FNC uses a fairly standard version 2 gearbox which is compatible with a host of aftermarket upgrades and replacement parts. The performance of the G&G FN Herstal FNC is perfect for outdoor airsoft fields, with precision accuracy and consistently firing at 400 FPS! The 8mm bearing gearbox is equipped with G&G's latest and most advanced gearbox performance technology, featuring enhanced Top-Tech internals that allow for serious performance and accuracy!
Overall, the G&G licensed FN Herstal FNC AEG is an amazingly accurate replica of the real steel battle rifle with a superior build quality and high end performance. The G&G FNC is perfect for players who want a high quality and high performance AEG that stands out in the crowd, and is easily upgradable and compatible with easy to find magazines.
