ZTR I'm not sure when is the next game you are going to, but regardless whenever that is come find me and I will let you fondle my VFC Scar.
Now I bought mine from a friend which basically needed to be gutted out after 4 years of usage (I think he was the second owner). Surprisingly after simply replacing piston, bucking, and soon to be motor, the thing runs like a charm. Even despite using the stock auto-shimming gears that everyone hates, it still handles a 11.1v just fine and I only use semi more or less when I use this gun. I also have the stock barrel and hop unit still in it, with the perfect airseal I am hitting guys fine with ample of accuracy.
Some of the downsides to the gun which ironically make this gun unique are as followed.
Firstly the hidden wiring that goes through the stock of the gun is cool, however at least on mine, after opening and closing the folding stock one of the connectors broke, which was fine since I opted to install a mosfet at the time anyways which brings me to my next huge grip.
MOSFETs, getting one into the gun can be a HUGE pain in the ass/possibly the most nerve racking thing I have made my Gun Doc do (accident). I've seem a bunch of different configurations people have done to get one installed, my gun doc and I opted for the "simple" approach, cut a hole in the stock (I never fold the stock) and rewire the gun through a hole. Sounds simple, however fucking aluminum is not gun with a dremel, nore is realizing the bolt/gearbox rely on that back plate to be there to keep everything in place. This is a major reason why I suggest the G&G to anyone, at least if you plan on installing a mosfet.
Lastly taking the gearbox out of the gun itself and putting it back in is such a bitch to do. I'm not sure if all Scar models are like this but hell, I have never attempted it because it is like trying to open Pandora's box basically. Also not to mention the fact that half if not all the parts in the gearbox are more or less proprietary. Now you can order all the parts from VFC (I have a rep there who can help anyone if they need parts) all at cheaper prices than most retailers (shipping is very decent and timely too).
Now there are still some positives like the hop up adjustment tool that hides in the gas regulator, makes it very easy to adjust your hop up on the fly. There is also the fack that the bolt locks back and the bolt release functions properly (it has a pretty satisfying snap to it). And since it is VFC, the body is very well made, I have submerged this in pillows of snow and water at games for hours on end and minus some rust it is still in one piece somehow.
Yeah I have a lot of issues with it I guess but if you are willing to put more time and effort into it I'd say definitely get a VFC. I should note that the VFC is the closest size wise to the RS version (not sure if the WE is too). If you are plain lazy or don't want to attempt fixing it up so much though (basically play with it out of the box) then I'd suggest keeping your G&G.
However at the end of the day, which ever one you do choose, both are equally top notch and Swanson approved.
