Thanks I think that sums it up for me, I definitely want an AEG over gas powered and it seems the VFC brand is made to last. Im not really into the idea of having a blowback or anything like that anyway

definitely what im looking for ^

Thanks for the tip. Im not too worried about cost and I keep things like this in good condition so if I don't really get into airsoft then it will be soon enough to have good resale value. Luckily my local store also owns the closest field to me so Ill be able to get a good FPS set for fields in my area

The ARES is much more proprietary in terms of externals and some internals, but overall a pretty solid gun.

Thanks for the input! Im looking forward to giving them both a try.


I think my mind is pretty made up here, I definitely appreciate the knowledgeable and helpful replies I've gotten so far on ASC. Cheers guys
