WANT TO MOVE UP FROM STARTER RIFS TO THE MID-RANGE? STEVE T PITS TWO PERENNIAL
FAVOURITES AGAINST ONE ANOTHER - AND FINDS A CLEAR WINNER...
T
here comes a time in every airsofter’s “career“ when
they want to progress from their starter RIF. Maybe
you’re looking for more solid construction. Maybe
you’re looking for a performance hike; better range or
accuracy. Either way, that barely triple-digit dollar value
gateway gun no longer scratches your itch.
But the good news is that you don’t need to spend
the thick end of four-figures to see a real difference. Even
better, you don’t even need to spend half that in order
to purchase a definite improvement right out of the box.
Nobody’s hating on budget guns here - hell, I know of more
than one former soldier turned airsofter that sees no need
to own anything other than an entry point RIF - but I also
know bikers than can hustle a Harley faster than most riders
on a sportsbike. But they’re a breed apart.
My point? We mere humans could do with any leg-up
we can get,
NEPTUNE VS KING ARTHUR
Anyone researching great out-of-the-box performance in
the last few years will inevitably end up with a shortlist
of two ARs that trade blows on forums the world over -
Krytac’s Trident and VFC’s Avalon ranges.
The former is renowned for performance plus reliability
as standard, while VFC continues to enjoy a reputation for
excellent externals with easy to upgrade internals. On paper
“ANYONE RESEARCHING GREAT OUT-OF-THE-BOX PERFORMANCE IN THE LAST FEW
YEARS WILL INEVITABLY END UP WITH A SHORTLIST OF TWO ARS THAT TRADE
BLOWS ON FORUMS THE WORLD OVER - KRYTAC’S TRIDENT AND VFC’S AVALON
RANGES.”
