After a lengthy delay caused by the problems everyone is still having with global shipping, the VORSK VMP-2 HAS LANDED!
Like many of you out there we’ve been waiting somewhat impatiently for the latest variants of the VORSK MODULAR PLATFROM to arrive, and we’re very pleased to report that a brace of VMP-2D GBB Rifles have now arrived at AAHQ ready for some extended field-testing!
And yes, of course we’ve already had them out on the range, and Bill told us that “During the last year I’ve been keeping a very close eye on the continued development of the VMP-2, and the program has been really quite staggering!
I’ve had a look at the very latest of these new platforms and have come away being very impressed with just how far they have moved on since I first encountered them as a concept; with a commonality of magazines across the range (including the VMP-1), in have come features that make them as close to the “real deal” as they can possibly be in terms of operation whilst maintaining a truly unique identity in relation to their look and feel.”
And now that the production models have finally arrived (darn you global shippers!) they are every bit as good as Bill, and we, hoped they would be, with an excellent standard of fit and finish, and an absolutely rock-solid build-quality.
Bill has already had the VMP-2D out on the woods range and told us that “I’ve been playing around with various accessory setups on the 2D as I did on the prototype, chopping and changing different optics, bipods, and LAMs, and the base feature set of the D allows you to really personalise it! Fact is the “as new” feature set is a great place to start as you get a fixed stock with cheek riser, railed upper receiver, a longer six slot M-LOK style rail with a picatinny upper-face, suppressor-ready muzzle device, included “irons”, and a 20 BB magazine. This is a full-length rifle, and as an intended DMR is restricted to safe/semi only.
I have always said that the DMR is the perfect place for anyone who wants to dabble in using a gas-driven platform in-game, and from what I’ve seen so far the VMP-2D just proves me right! But I’ve finally got the setup how I like it, and it’s ended up more as a bit of an old-skool battle rifle… I’ve dropped off the bipod and big optic in favour of a foregrip and holosight with magnifier, and at 30m it is REALLY ringing the steels!
It’s obviously still bedding in, but I’ve had no issues with either the short or long magazines (from the VMP-1) fitting and feeding perfectly, and my initial chrono recorded .20g BBs at 1.69 Joule/427fps although I expect this to creep up slightly when things settle. The hop has no issue whatsoever with .30g BBs, what I’ll probably end up using in-game, although I believe I’ll need to make sure my secondary is in tip-top shape so that I can still abide by site DMR rules… the VMP-2D to me is now in the same space as my beloved M110 GBBR, and I can see some exciting times ahead!”
So, certainly in the UK at lease, all three variants of the VMP-2 are now in-store, and from what we’ve seen online already in-game too! With the guys just about to meet with VORSK at IWA we KNOW that there will be MUCH MORE to come in the evolution of the VORSK MODULAR PLATFROM, and we eagerly await their first report from Germany!
