Hello there, the MP7 came out in 2001 while the G36 came out in 1999, so I don't think they took anything from the MP7 but more likely the other way around. However the G36 C variant was also released in 2001 just like the MP7, but the G36 concept existed before the MP7.
Hey Quick tip: use your thumb on the left side of the gun to put the G36C into single fire, burst, full auto. And use your index finger to switch back. And leave your index finger stretched out. It’ll make you look way more professional. I’m in the German Army and that’s how we do it here. 😉
Three things: First, awesome review as always! Second, XM8 NEXT PLEASE VFC Third, I hope to see more VFC variants eventually of this rifle (particularly I like the G36KE)
Hi there, I'm glad you're enjoying it. To remove it, it is a 14mm ccw thread, made easier with a spanner 🔧. Just make sure there's no grub screw near the base, and you will be ok.
Hi there, I generally fill them until I can't fit more and then remove 2x bbs. That way, I'm not putting too much pressure on the loading arm when the bolt is closed.
In the past, everyone used WE G36 because the performance of G36v1 was really poor.However, v2 still has several limitations. The hop up regulator is very fragile. My solution is to drill holes and screws to adjust the hop up
Hi there, I use .25g bbs with the HK G36C GBBR, as for the gas green gas, is approximately 15psi less than propane. The G36 v2 is a rare one at the moment. They make 1 or 2 batches a year, so if you're after one, I would suggest adding your email to their waiting list. Hope that helps.
The WE was regarded as the best pick as well as probably the most bang for buck gbbr on the market, but it looks like with the V2 they improved a lot over the V1 which was really quite bad.
Hi there,the G36c v2 gbbr was released at £189.99 for the first batch. The second started to vary from retailer to retailer from £199.99 up to £289.99. Vfc will be doing another limited run very soon, but that will be the last.
@@MiddleAgeGameruk That‘s interesting. I think I remember seeing them and I thinking that they were so cheap that they had to be absolute garbage but apparently they are not. If you know, could you please tell me why the next run will be the last? Like why don’t Airsoft manufacturers just keep making a successful model „for ever“ and keep improving it over time? It surely would sell? The manufacturers of real firearms that sell well also don’t just stop making them. A VFC MP7 V3 is also long overdue. Could have a reinforced back plate and stock retaining pieces as well as a steel insert in the bolt carrier that stops it from wearing down. These are obvious flaws, why don’t they fix them? I really don’t get it… Additionally they could add the functionality to lock the bolt to the back by pushing the bolt release lever upwards like on the real steel version. (Not needing an empty mag to do so)
@@_HigherSelf_ Sadly there is no straight answer, like you i would love to see them continue to manufacture the G36C and other variants for a long time to come. From an educated guess its down to shire volume of work they have going on right now. officially we have the Gen3 URGI, 416A5, MK18, M4A1, Knights SR16, and all there different variants, add the pistols, SMG's, PDW's and even add all the contract work they do and there shell company work , there AEG line the list goes on. they really do have to choose wisely. I would love a Gen3 MP7 and to be honest, that would be a much likelier bet to place.
@@MiddleAgeGameruk You have a lot more knowledge about them than I do. Would you say a V3 MP7 is so likely, that it’s worth waiting for? I just ordered a V2😅
Hi there, there's always a chance, but it will depend on the retailer. If you can find the older WE g36 in the US, then I'm sure you can find the vfc officially licenced one.
@@tedscott4559you should able too. I manage to buy both vfc mp5a5 v2 and mp5k pwd v2 from redwolfairsoft and ehobbyasia without any problems to the US.
My reservation to buy one of these is the reported magazine weight. I read anything from 470g (acceptable) to 690g (far too heavy), would appreciate if you could confirm the weight! Thanks!
Hi there, I got mine from wgcshop.com. They ship worldwide along as you have a ukara and are aware of shipping and customs fees. They will be back in stock in the uk eventually.
Want to video your paint job? I've never painted anything but these look pretty bad. Like bullets that would be in one of my sons bright green walmart guns
How does it stand up against the WE tech version? Would you recommend buying this replica if you already have a full set up of the WE version that still works? However if that vfc mag well adapter is really in the works and feeds properly. I may consider buying this one
Hi there, I have used the WE version a few years ago and it did leave an impression on me, as I didn't own a G36 GBBR and the V2 version from VFC became available I had to jump at the officially licenced one. if you already own a fully functional WE version there is no real reason to switch.
Hi there, as far as I'm aware, they only made the v1 and v2 from vfc, I'm interested to know where you saw it, if you can reply with a link I will.check it out.
@MiddleAgeGameruk Sorry, it was me. It said version 3 on the site, but on closer inspection it is just the gearbox. I have had 2 spring guns for about 5 years, but this will be my first electric. You have a great channel, and very informative.
Bro stop reviewing h&k youre breaking my wallet
Hi there, you should see mine, it broke a long time ago!!!!
Lmao I've been wondering how he keeps cranking out all these reviews of these pricey replicas 😂
😅
Review, return 😂

God seeing this just makes me want the epitomy of polymer guns to me a GBB F2000.
man i'd love myself my favoutire speedboat. truly a wasted opportunity that nobody produces it
@@mattew_2795 always nice to meet a fellow tactical tuna lover.
Tha fish gun!?
@@keyboardcommando5146 the tuna🥰
@@mattew_2795 😂
I managed to snag one before they became out of stock awesome, and great gun also fantastic review :)
Someone got one used with 3 mags for 300... in the USA. That's half price of an import, if you can even find one
@@tylerblalack6684 that’s a crazy good deal, for me I paid exactly 300 shipped and just been messing with it

Hi there, thanks for the info. I will try to put it to good use!!!
I will also add on top that the weapon is badly shouldered.
Three things:
First, awesome review as always!
Second, XM8 NEXT PLEASE VFC
Third, I hope to see more VFC variants eventually of this rifle (particularly I like the G36KE)
Why have you decided to make my decision on VFC G36C V2 vs TM MWS M4A1 harder??!! ;)
Hi there, it only ever gets harder to choose!!!!.
Looking forward for this fun review , from a middle age subscriber 😊.
Slow n Smooth Smooth is Fast.
Cheers🎉
I’m now very, how you say “conflicted” between the ump and the g36c
I’ve not seen any places in the uk 🇬🇧 selling the mags as of yet. Used to have a WE g36k sold it few months ago wish I’d kept now
Love the gun. But the question is, how do you remove the flash hider from the end of the barrel?
Hi there, I'm glad you're enjoying it. To remove it, it is a 14mm ccw thread, made easier with a spanner 🔧. Just make sure there's no grub screw near the base, and you will be ok.
@MiddleAgeGameruk I don't see no grub screw on the barrel, so that should give you my correct answer.
I have finally bought one and it's a beast! Super happy with the purchase.
How do you load your BBs so you don't exceed 30?
Hi there, I generally fill them until I can't fit more and then remove 2x bbs. That way, I'm not putting too much pressure on the loading arm when the bolt is closed.
@@MiddleAgeGameruk and usually, how many in do you end up with?
Where can you buy this in europe? I can't seem to find them available in any shop? Are they out of production?
Hi there, vfc still makes them. They just don't make many. Very soon, the g36k is coming before the make another batch of the g36c.
In the past, everyone used WE G36 because the performance of G36v1 was really poor.However, v2 still has several limitations. The hop up regulator is very fragile. My solution is to drill holes and screws to adjust the hop up
is it 0.20 or 0.25 (value on the chrono) ? By green gas, you mean its 130PSI ?.
Shame as it seems that it's out of stock everywhere
Hi there, I use .25g bbs with the HK G36C GBBR, as for the gas green gas, is approximately 15psi less than propane. The G36 v2 is a rare one at the moment. They make 1 or 2 batches a year, so if you're after one, I would suggest adding your email to their waiting list. Hope that helps.
Was the 4 prong flashhider threadlocked onto the barrel?
Hi there, no, it was not threadlocked to the barrel, unlike the krytac kriss Vector gbb smg.
@@MiddleAgeGameruk Ok thank you!
I have a sr36c but it semi auto do you know what gear box I need to make it auto
Hi there, my speciality is gbbrs, but if my memory serves me, the g36 uses the v3 type gearbox, similar to ak aeg's.
Looks nice.
The WE was regarded as the best pick as well as probably the most bang for buck gbbr on the market, but it looks like with the V2 they improved a lot over the V1 which was really quite bad.
How much were these when they were still available?
Hi there,the G36c v2 gbbr was released at £189.99 for the first batch. The second started to vary from retailer to retailer from £199.99 up to £289.99. Vfc will be doing another limited run very soon, but that will be the last.

I think you will be fine with your v2 mp7 for now. A v3 will definitely be a while at the moment.
The MP7 came out after the G36
Hardest kicking... try the WE AK PMC :)
What are the chances of that making it to the U.S.?
Hi there, there's always a chance, but it will depend on the retailer. If you can find the older WE g36 in the US, then I'm sure you can find the vfc officially licenced one.
@MiddleAgeGameruk thank you and absolutely love the channel!

They are very heavy and don't fit into m4 pouches very well. The gun is worth it imo still.
Anywhere in stock? Will it be in stock again?
