THE ARMOURY
In Use
Old habits die hard, so
the first thing I did was
put a quick squirt of silicone
spray into the bolt and breech
area as well as onto the seals
and valve of the mag itself. I
filled the pistol BB loader with
some Madbull Precision Grade
0.2g BBs then loaded up just over 30 rounds
into the mag. Once I had gassed up the mag
(not forgetting that the mags have a large
reservoir) with Abbey Predator Ultra Gas, I
was ready to go.
Something I’ve experienced with VFC M4s
before is that, when loading the first mag, the
best thing is to have charged the weapon first
and thus have the working parts locked back
to the rear before inserting the magazine. This
just helps keep wear and tear on the parts
to a minimum. Again, as with the real thing,
you have to firmly insert the mag. If you don’t
make sure it’s properly locked in don’t be
surprised if the first time you pull the trigger
the mag falls out. Funny for everyone else, but
not for you.
