Technical Specifications

Compatibility & Upgrades

The F2 is engineered specifically for VFC HK417 airsoft rifles. HPA conversion requires an external air source (regulator, remote line, and tank or on-board battery power) and is best installed by experienced technicians familiar with gearbox work. PolarStar engines are fully adjustable and compatible with a range of nozzles, poppet springs, and air volumes to optimise performance for your playstyle and site environment.

UK Legal & Site Notes

HPA engines are legal in the UK and are not classified as requiring modification under airsoft regulations. However, always confirm your site’s rules before attending – some venues have specific policies on semi-only restrictions or air system usage. Output FPS must remain within your site’s limits (typically 500 FPS for assault rifles, 650 FPS for DMRs, 800 FPS for sniper platforms) and will depend on your regulator settings and air setup.
