Classic Army has released it's newest addition to the M4 family, the Vehicle Crew Weapon! We're excited to start carrying this high quality rifle, as well as have it as our giveaway gun!
The Classic Army VCW is another addition to the full metal selection of rifles that Classic Army offers. The VCW was meant for those looking for a compact rifle without losing effectiveness in the field.
Coming in at just 26" fully collapsed and 30" extended, the rifle is great for those looking to maintain control of the rifle, without having to worry about full-size rifles that lack maneuverability. For increased handling, Classic Army has also included a stubby vertical grip which can be placed wherever the operator would like.
In addition to the vertical grip, the VCW features a full Rail Interface System for mounting flashlights, lasers, and everything else you need to get the job done. On the front of both the left and right side rails you will find two QD Swivel Attachment Points for those who would like to add additional sling points to the rifle.
The VCW does come with an orange tip installed, however in the box they also include a noise amplifier that uses what seems to be an included 14mm CCW to 16mm CW adapter. The rifle itself uses 14mm CCW, however it looks like the noise amplifier does not.
Pulling back the charging handle reveals the CNC aluminum hop-up unit, as well as the nice touch of a printed American Flag and the caliber of the rifle on the dust cover. Additionally, left side of the rifle you can find the stamped lettering of the model and serial number of the rifle.
Internally, you will find the standard Classic Army high-quality parts that we've come to expect. The barrel is a 191mm 6.03 tight bore barrel, increasing your velocity and accuracy. The gearbox is a 9mm Bearing Gearbox with a Quick Change Spring system and wire-cut 21:1 ratio gears, as well as a stainless steel bore up cylinder and aluminum bore-up cylinder head.
The rifle is rear wired to the crane stock, and inside the buffer tube you will find the Classic Army's standard inline MOSFET, protecting your trigger contacts and allowing you to run higher voltage batteries such as Li-Po's. The airsoft MOSFET is hard-wired to a male Dean's plug, however does come with the Dean's to Tamiya adapter. Out of the box, the rifle comes in shooting at about 380 FPS, making it an ideal weapon for close to mid range engagements. The Quick Change Spring System makes it easy to have the rifle shooting at your desired velocity, allowing you to play indoors and outdoors with a simple spring change.
Included in the box is the rifle itself, two 300 round high capacity magazines, as well as the Classic Army courtesies such as the unjamming/cleaning rod, and a rifle bag for transporting your new rifle. As stated before with the MOSFET, the VCW is Li-Po ready, and the trigger response is nice and crisp on the 11.1v Li-Po we were using.
Overall, this is another amazing rifle from Classic Army. For those who are looking for a quality compact rifle that still packs a punch, the Classic Army VCW is the perfect rifle for you!
