We’ve spoken a LOT in the last couple of years about VegaForceCompany (VFC) and their absolutely outstanding GBBR program, and what joy they’ve brought to us in so many different forms both historical and ultra-modern!
As you’ll see in ISSUE 170 on Wednesday as Bill and Stewbacca reflect on their favourite GBBR platforms used during 2024 VFC feature strongly, and their ability to work in collaboration with licence holders (such as EMG in this case) means that we shooters get platforms that are as close-to-real as you can get in airsoft form, and “behind the scenes” VFC’s gas “OS” just gets better and better.
However, it’s been a little while since we looked at a VFC AEG, and they’ve kicked 2025 off with something pretty darn special in the shape of a TTI TR-1 ULTRALIGHT, a model much-beloved of a certain on-screen man in black that we all love to watch!
VFC say;
“Taran Tactical Innovations (TTI) was founded in 2011 by Taran Butler, a legendary shooter with over 25 years of experience. Throughout his career, Taran has achieved remarkable success and created TTI to share his passion and knowledge of competitive shooting.
Every TTI product is the result of years of testing and refinement, combining enhanced performance with sleek, eye-catching designs. Beyond the world of competitive shooting, TTI has also made a name for itself in Hollywood, offering expert firearm training and action choreography for movies.
One of its biggest highlights is the John Wick series, starring Keanu Reeves, which has become a modern action film classic. Thanks to its expertise and innovation, TTI has earned global recognition, bridging the gap between the shooting sports and the entertainment industry.”
And THAT we cannot argue with!
And the new AEG not only looks righteously “Wick”, but has some very cool features! The TR-1 Ultralight AEG is equipped with a range of classic BCM AIR parts, bringing both practicality and recognizable style to the player. From the iconic BCM KMR Alpha 13″ handguard, BCM® Stock Mod 1-SOPMOD stock, and BCMGUNFIGHTER grip, to the BCMGUNFIGHTER Trigger Guard. This setup not only provides a high level of realism but also reflects a keen attention to practical details.
The ECS GearBox (Ver.2.1) features all reinforced parts including the HOP-UP system, new fibre reinforced piston & tappet plate, steel gear set & match grade cylinder. You also get;
- Quick Release Gear box for individual Spring Change
- 8mm Ultra High Speed Ball Bearing
- Special Material 7 teeth Reinforced Piston
- Highly Tenacity Tappet Plate
- Heat-Resistant Switch Mount
- Build-in GATE ASTER Electric Trigger System
- Steel Custom Manufacturing High Speed Gear
- CNC Machined Aerodynamics Muzzle
- Steel Quickly disassemble Spring Guide
This all looks pretty perfect to us, and the sum of the parts certainly adds up to something potentially spectacular! Stewbacca will be collecting an evaluation sample from the cool guys at the VPSC soon, so watch this space for more details as he starts to put the VFC TTI TR-1 ULTRALIGHT AEG through its paces!
