- description
There is a point where shortening an AR stops being a styling exercise and starts changing how you play. At 570mm with the stock in, the Stubby is past that point: it comes round a corner before you do, and it sits across your chest in a vehicle without fighting you.
The front end is a 5.5in CNC rail with an integrated stubby flash hider, and the receivers, outer barrel and handguard are all metal, so it still has real-steel weight without being nose-heavy. Behind that is VFC’s open-bolt gas system, which is the reason to buy a gas gun in the first place.
It arrives with one 30-round CO2 magazine and a speedloader. Both green gas and CO2 are listed as compatible, so you can set it up for whichever you already run rather than being pushed down one route.

Good to know before you buy
A short inner barrel and a big gas port make for a loud, snappy gun that is not especially gentle on seals. Keep the bolt rails greased and it will keep cycling hard; neglect them and a stubby gas gun is the first to complain.
One magazine is enough to try it and nowhere near enough to play with. A gas gun this short empties a magazine quickly, so budget for two or three spares and keep one warm in a pocket between pushes.
Frequently asked questions
How many magazines will I want?
It comes with one. Two or three spares is the realistic number for a game day on a gun that cycles this fast.
Green gas or CO2?
Both are listed as compatible and it ships with a CO2 magazine. CO2 runs hotter, so chrono whichever you use.
How short is it really?
570mm with the stock collapsed, which is shorter than most MP5-pattern guns.
Does it take standard VFC M4 gas magazines?
It is built on VFC’s M4 GBBR gas architecture, so VFC M4 gas magazines are the right family.
What optic suits it?
A micro red dot. The top rail is full length, but weight out front is the one thing a gun this short does not want.
