VFC HK 416.
Have had it for 3 years... only one so far, but I have used my friend's TM P90 which I find too light and his TM M14 which is fun, but was having a hop-up problem at the time.
I like my VFC, but it did have some problems: the battery that came w/it wasn't working properly; the single-shot cut-off lever needed shimming to work properly; set-up is kinda loud atm.

I really wouldn't recommend it as a first because it is pricy and you can def get better internals for less money. It looks nice and the functionning bolt catch is rather useful, but that leads to upgrade problems as the mechbox is weak and I've only recently found a reinforced one with the right parts (Yes, there are reinforced mechboxes that work w/ VFC's bolt catch)

Pictures to come eventually (need to get home this weekend and install my 'final' upgrade parts).
