HFC USR 11 Sniper Rifle
First Impressions: When I first opened the package this gun came in, I saw a foam cutout of both the receiver/ trigger assembly and the second piece, the abs plastic stock.The two pieces are easily screwed together, and held by two screws in the base, both on either sides of the magazine well. I was surprised the gun did not feel front or back heavy, it was all around bulky. It had some small scars at the tip of the orange barrel(On the inside) but it did nothing to affect performance and seems like many others USR 11s have this issue. It seems like a shipping issue perhaps.
Firing: Well I took the gun outside(with the bottle of high quality .20 bbs I had, and loaded up the magazine. It is the same as the VSR 10 mag. It is slender and fits flush into the stock. It fits 25 rounds and extra mags are pretty cheap. I thingyed the bolt, and was surpirsed the action wasnt that hard(it took a pull, just not what I expected). Apparently this gun comes stock with a 120 spring, but the lead weights(which give the gun its clunk and recoil) suppress the power.Taking out the weights is a fairly easy task, however, and helps fps and range. When I fired the gun, it shot in a straight, powerful trajectory. It hit a tree 100 feet away easily, and Im sure I could hit a man sized target at 120 feet, maybe a bit more. But overall I was impressed.
Flaws: The gun does have flaws though, just like any other. The gun has a shinier stock than the TM VSR 10 it emulates, and this is not that big of a deal. I plan to paint it anyway, so it isnt a problem for me. It comes with no rail or scope either, but I will soon get one once I figure out the scope I want. Its accurate enough that the use of a scope sight could make it more effective than the iron sights. The magazine release button is a bit fiddigity, too, but this problem is not major and opening the gun and repositioning it fixes the problem.
Pros: Upgrades. Plain and simple. Unlike the UTG and UHC sniper rifles in the same price range, this gun can be upgraded with all the parts that the Tokyo Marui VSR 10 series can. Anything from new pistons, to springs to barrels. It can be purchased and upgraded as you go. It offers the most value for $100 something dollars(sniper rifle wise). Although I may take flak for saying this, it is true. The UTG can not be upgraded to go against TM and CA aegs, it doesnt matter how good you are of a player. The UTG looks like a springer next to them. But the USR 11 can be upgraded to a sniping menace. Stcok, it can compete with the UTG and UHCs, but it can be upgraded. It is a force against other better sniper rifles as well, and upgraded it can make for an interesting "sniper duel" against other, higher end rifles.
I hoped you enjoyed this review and it helped you in your sniper rifle descisions.
