MODEL GUN COLLECTIONS(11) - HK416D ASSAULT RIFLE BY VFC

Heckler & Koch is one of my favorite firearm manufactures, due to its good design, battle proved quality, but not the high price. This HK 416D assault rifle is an advanced model of US M4A1 rifle. It kept the popular design of M4A1, but with improved reliability. This airsoft HK 416D is made by a Taiwanese company named VFC, which is famous of producing high quality airsoft gun for hobbyists.  Due to the HK logo licencing issue, I had waited for it for a long time.

The airsoft is powered by gas, not electricity. So it operates more like a real rifle and gives player some recoil feeling. That is the fun part of operating a GBB (Gas Blow Back) airsoft. That is also why more airsoft BB manufactures produce GBB model guns.

If you are a BB gun hobbyist, and you love H&K, I will recommend you to get one.

Treasure Hill(寶藏巖)is quite an unique place in Taipei City, you can find the info of it history at the website of Taipei Artist Village. It was a very special community in the past, and now became a village for modern artists. 

The reason I like to visit Treasure Hill is for the combination of old style houses, the unique way how they built the community on the hill, and some decorations by the artists.

If you would like to see a very different part of Taipei history, Treasure Hill will definitely bring you some surprises.
