VFC 416 and M27

[Ravasempai]

Hi guys. Im cought between getting one of these. both seem really good and probably almost identical.
My question though is how Identical are they internaly?
Are they going to perform exactly the same or is ther a little difference due to the longer barrel?

Re: VFC 416 and M27

The gearbox is identical, as is the entire lower receiver, stock and stock tube. The only difference is the markings (M27 IAR Vs. H&K 416), the longer rail system, and thus longer inner barrel.

Otherwise they're the same.

The real ones have slightly more differences, but the TL:DR version is the M27 IAR is the 'tougher' brother of the 416 (thicker, longer barrel)

So in airsoft, pick whichever you prefer. They will be nie on identical in performance terms.

So longer inner barrel at this point makes no difference to performance then yes? Thanks.
Was going to go for M27 but with the 2015 416 having a mosfet as standard I think i might be sold.
