Bright future for VFC
 
http://www.airsoftgun.ru/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=30854


PKM , Bizon-2 , SVD , etc.


PKM !!! SWEEEEETTTTTTT !!!! :kill: :kill:

so long as they keep their products competivly priced, they should do fine. With more and more guns being released, not just guns, but FMU guns, the increase in quality products should drive the prices down also.

Yeah seriously , drop some userbars dude. Please , it's getting me a headache

sukivan August 16th, 2006 03:06

can someone please explain why there are no north american airsoft manufacturers? it costs an arm and a leg to import this stuff, not to mention our dollars are leaving canadian soil in the process.

union workers

airsoft began in asia...and they can produce the stuff at a fraction of the cost.
not a big enough market in NA.

Not to mention the fact that in some Asian nations (Japan in particular) it's almost impossible to own an actual firearm. Airsoft is the closest they get - ever - unless they join the military. Why would some redneck down in Texas want to buy a plastic M16 that shoots plastic bb's when he can get a real one almost as easily?

Gish August 16th, 2006 17:56

In regards to the actually VFC guns...

I'm glad to see a new manufacture coming out with something new and not yet another clone of either
A. M Series weapon
B. G3 Series weapon
C. Generic AK series

It's great to see they are carving there own path in the airsoft world. I for one fully support this and will be the first to own a Canadian PKM.

Unionism!? Seriously? I don't think so but you go ahead and enjoy your weekend..maybe play a lil airsoft..then perhaps spend the rest of it slagging the men and women who fought to get you a weekend to do it on.

Couldn't have anything to do with the company mindset...you know...farm it out to the countries who's labour laws we can manipulate (more easily) to get it done at a cost you might buy it at. You gonna work for the rates they are paying in asia?

Certainly the kind of people who would form associations of companies and then seek to deny you the right to bargain collectively can't be questioned or held in any way responsible for the state of the economy...it must be the fault of the uneducated blue collar masses or as I like to think of us as..the actual fuckin majority. I don't mean everyones unionised but certainly more people fall into the woking stiff category than not.

Sorry for the threadjack/rant but that's bullshit..plain and simple.

Why doesn't anyone make AEG's here?...What is made here anymore?

All I see is raw resources goin out and manufactured goods comming in...if that's OK with you all, then it's fine by me, I'm a longshoreman...it's actually better for me. You don't wanna see where this cycle is takin us, then hey, don't....instead blame the villain du'juer (sp?) Damn, I'm ranting again aren't I?..I'll stop now.

I suppose put simply..if you wanna see Canadian made AEG's, then start buying Canadian made products.

huh, ranting? about what? in response to what?

is it just me, or does this rant make no sence.

There isn't any CDN airsoft for sale....unless someone can make close to TM/CA/ICS/G&P quality airsoft, don't expect us to fork us TM dollar for a WELL quality gun.

And TM Airsoft are made in Japan last time I checked.....not some 3rd world country. CA and G&P are made in HK, not some 3rd world country again with no labour restriction. (ICS in Korea I think?) The last time I checked, these two countries aren't cheap in terms of income and spending.

If you are saying we're exploiting "cheap" labour, we're not, buying cheapo brands like UTG would be support the "labour exploit".

Anyway, your rant is probably going to go against everything globalization brings. So we'll just stop here since it doesn't go anywhere. Airsoft isn't made in Canada since it's not popular enough to be profitable.

Janman August 17th, 2006 14:37

Really...couldn't follow that?

Phenom...You called it...Globalization...which I think I pointed out is hardly the fault of union workers as per the Theory of Droc. And yes I am against globalization...You let them victimize others then don't be surprised when they want your piece of the pie too.

Do I think Japan is third world...no.

Do I think they pay workers in HK or even Taiwan, what we'de expect to make here...no.
