    The VFC SCAR in the water test, who in their right mind would do this to a €400 AEG. In fairness this made up my mind to get one a year ago.:D I think there is one of these for the VFC 416 aswell.

    These people are watching far too much "future Weapons".
    Realism can only go so far, this is just plain stupid.,lol

    Thats a vfc?

    Nut case, have fun cleaning every part individually after that!

    It may work now but rusty gears dont work as well after awhile...

    water isnt as conductive as some people believe, you have to add something to it to make it a better conductor, like salt etc.,

    Yeah, pure water isnt a conductor but what are the chances of that being anywhere near pure. Even if it was, that makes the test even more ridiculous:D

    Very hard to convince people of that, like it is to convince them that a lightening rod on a building is used to repel lightening not attract it.
    Interesting video.

    This explains that "pure" water doesn't conduct.

    Technically, pure water, or an amount of nothing but H2O molecules will not in any way conduct electric current. Free or valance electrons are what flow in a current. Well, the balanced molecule of water has no free electrons, they're all used in forming the molecule. A tub or glass or container of water conducts electric current since normally the water is not pure. It has minerals, dirt, or other particles of other atoms or molecules in it. If you were to take two perfectly sterilized leads and place them into a solution of absolutely pure, distilled water, there would be no conductivity until contaminants from atmosphere started to get into the water giving something for the current to flow across from one lead to the other.

    I personally don't believe that the water on that video was "pure".
    The AEG surely had a certain amount of contaminants on it, thus making the water impure and slightly conductive.

    But that still makes no difference to the point, any AEG will do that, not just the VFC.
    I've personally witnessed a car radio blaring in a car that was was submerged in a canal. defo not "pure" water.

    Its a sh1te conductor regardless, you wont get alot of current in your short circuit anyway, if the short was metal, a good conductor, yeah, possible battery failure after a period of time.

    Ive seen videos of underwater aeg shooting, its stupid, but do-able.

    Lol, I'd love to have seen that :D. No worries about the battery shorting in the rain then,
