Just bought one (all black) yesterday. I might have it cerakoted. I hate the 10-day waiting period, but oh well. In the meantime, I'll be looking to secure some accessories. Magazines are by far the hardest to come by for this gun, I'm finding out.
I grabbed the storm trooper white as well only because they are getting hard to find the white one dint really melt my butter sooo I brought it back to my gunshop had the honeycomb end baked black put a telescopic stock on it and lazer optics on it looks Fabulous, as I was leaving the shop many folks just wanted to see it and had alot of comment, it took me longer to show the gun off than it did to get home lol, R I rocks.👍👍 oh ya mine came with the white pistol grips.
I have done quite a few upgrades to my VR80 and have used in a few 3gun events so far with no issues, loving RIA as well. Thanks for watching and always remember to keep blowing the smoke
$999? Dang....I'm not sure I would've been able to resist. I just picked one up yesterday for $792 out the door. Gotta wait 10 days, of course....but I can't wait to get my hands on it
They aren't lying lol. I've already gotten a few things in for it, I'm going to do an updated video once I have it all installed. Thanks for watching and always remember to keep blowing the smoke
I saw elsewhere where it said it also came with a red dot scope. I take it, that's not the case? It's a beautiful looking gun. I'm looking at getting one soon. Hence how I stumbled upon your video. Thank you for it. I appreciated it. 👍
@Reloadingfromthehotpot Yeah, that must have been a package deal. The price was $899 on the one I saw as well. When the time comes, I'll definitely use that discount code. Especially if it helps you out. 👍 Thanks again my friend, and have a great 2024. 😊
So sexy!!! Love the honeycomb. 19 rounds. That’s nuts 😂😂 you can tell people the government restricts it to 5 round mags because if it’s used in a defensive situation with more than five rounds they have trouble finding enough intact remains to ID the body!!! Of course instead of “shoot to neutralize the threat” with that thing it’s more like “shoot to manufacture a basketball hoop” I have flight experience and I’m going to have to find those remove before pew pew tags!!
Just got one today and when you have the bolt release pulled back and fully open does your gas piston assembly mover back and forth when handling ?? Just doesn't seem "normal" to me ! Tia
@@Reloadingfromthehotpot thank you for the response! Seems like besides the CA version that is offered you cannot get a short rail with mlock attachments on the bottom besides this one.
Finally bought this gun! Unfortunately after 10 shots, it won't even fire. The gun clicks and but it doesn't fire. I think the firing pin is screwed up
I got the olive green one but if 8 was around snow alot that white would do the trick for sure now I'm jealous I didn't get the pistol grip with mine dag gone it lol
I understand that in your country you are just now seeing episodes of Happy Days but dude for us that was 40 years ago so the word spaz has been long forgotten by most in the United States.
Dude, you accidentally showed us the milk on the bottom, fing awesome of you since it's no where else hey all it has mlok at 12 o'clock. Amazing how there 8s all of 3 secs of it on the internet every picture void of the vital info mlok mlok yes
I love the white and had the option to get it. I opted for the black because I didn’t want anyone to mistake it for a toy or prop. Super cool gun.

Advanced Tactical is a great place to start for RIA parts. Thanks for watching.
Damn you had to wait? I live in Washington state and even I didnt have to wait.
Just bought the white. I ordered the black but the white came in and I took it. Storm Trooper edition. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for watching !
Stick to 3 inch shells with an FPS of no less than 1300fps, and she'll cycle beautifully everytime. Got about 5 mags through mine and no jams.
How has the reliability been?
I just picked one of these up today. They are an amazing deal for the price and the storm trooper finish on mine is superb.
I had mine out today, planning a long term update. I have put mine through the ringer in shotgun events as well as 3gun. Thanks for watching 👉💨

You confused the gas pistons for the chokes, and the chokes are the circular with threads that you were unsure what to call it.
I actually know what they are but making a video some days is no easy task. Thanks for watching.
I ran into one yesterday at a gun show in Louisiana. They were asking $999. Pretty cool looking weapon. I came really close to buying it.
$999? Dang....I'm not sure I would've been able to resist. I just picked one up yesterday for $792 out the door. Gotta wait 10 days, of course....but I can't wait to get my hands on it
That's a very high price
@@meaty220 got mine for $599 and then sent off for $100 dollar rebate. Tax free day. $499.00 total
I appreciate this review! I just ordered mine this morning. As you noted, it had been outta stock for weeks.
Thank you for watching, I appreciate it. 👉💨
The rubber pad is a box protector for shipping. Just keeps the handle from stabbing through the cardboard. ;)
I just bought the standard black, still a badass looking toy, but i am loving that white! awesome! good hunting!
I wish I got a white one. That looks cool AF.
Wow. Saw a site advertising this as the "Stormtrooper" model. They weren't kidding. Nice. As far as how many thumbs, 37.
They aren't lying lol. I've already gotten a few things in for it, I'm going to do an updated video once I have it all installed. Thanks for watching and always remember to keep blowing the smoke
This so hard 🔥🔥 appreciate it bro ‼️dope vid
I just brought this home. Can't wait to shoot it! 😍
I saw elsewhere where it said it also came with a red dot scope. I take it, that's not the case?
It's a beautiful looking gun. I'm looking at getting one soon. Hence how I stumbled upon your video. Thank you for it. I appreciated it. 👍
Unfortunately no, it does not come with a red dot sight but Vector Optics has some nice ones, and discount code HOTPOT10 will getcha a discount !
@Reloadingfromthehotpot Yeah, that must have been a package deal. The price was $899 on the one I saw as well.
When the time comes, I'll definitely use that discount code. Especially if it helps you out. 👍

I have flight experience and I’m going to have to find those remove before pew pew tags!!
I found them on Amazon.
I traded my Beretta 1301 for this and expect a call after going through NICS today or tomorrow.
Did you ever do a 2nd video on the VR80? Still have it or any updates how it performed? Thanks!
Just got one today and when you have the bolt release pulled back and fully open does your gas piston assembly mover back and forth when handling ?? Just doesn't seem "normal" to me ! Tia
Thank you for watching. It is normal for this system. Unfortunately, I do not possess it anymore. My 3 gun days are over. 👉💨
Very nice. I have the black version...the Dark Side.
Very nice....keep blowing the smoke !!!
actually the white is the Dark Side cause its a Storm Trooper.
Love the White looks clean I’m looking into getting one but I only find it in black
This is the only white one I have seen in the area I live and I frequent quite a few gun stores. Thanks for watching.
Right after I watched your video I started looking around and they are all sold out
Gunbroker has a couple but the price !? Whew....
Hey can you do a short video on the optics in muzzle brake you put on your RIA VR80?
Yeppers, I can do an update on the ol slugger
@@Reloadingfromthehotpot Now that you’ve had it for a bit would you still recommend it?
Are those mlock attachments on the bottom? Looks like the standard short handguards don't have any. The long ones do.
Yes they are Mlock.
@@Reloadingfromthehotpot thank you for the response! Seems like besides the CA version that is offered you cannot get a short rail with mlock attachments on the bottom besides this one.
Looking at buying one of these from PSA 👀
I wouldn't hesitate, love mine. 👉💨
Finally bought this gun!
Unfortunately after 10 shots, it won't even fire. The gun clicks and but it doesn't fire. I think the firing pin is screwed up
Never seen a white one. Looks nice
I have one in Tungsten and only available in CA
I got one aswell looks really nice
My man’s shotty looks semi-custom and he hasn’t even done anything to it....yet!
Ohhhh has there been a lot done to it now lol
That is sweet look'n! Good deal!!
Are the white ones still available??? I’m on a mission to get one
Thank You Sir! This is going to be great!👍🇺🇸 25thumbs
This is one of many variations of paint schemes. I believe it’s called the “Starship Trooper”.
I know it's kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good website to stream newly released tv shows online ?
@Fisher Peyton i use Flixzone. Just search on google for it :)
Chamber flag for that should say, "Revove before boom boom"
Lmfao !
@@Reloadingfromthehotpot beautiful. Love mine about 500 shots no issues. How is your running?
You're ready for winter war :-)
Very cool
Good review. Subbed.
How dirty does it get when shooting it man
the president of armscor calls this color "Stormtrooper White"
SO DAM SEXY
I order mine and it was here with in week.
NOW THATS A WHITE BOY ! MORIO M 2A SA ROCKS ! LOOKS COOL MAN
Ya could have just bought the 9-round magazines instead of extenders 😂
Just seen this post. I have the 5, 9 and 19 round magazines.
Standard black doesn't get the extra grip! Jealous!
I was not aware of this, lucky me ! Well and the other owners who bought the white model.
I got the olive green one but if 8 was around snow alot that white would do the trick for sure now I'm jealous I didn't get the pistol grip with mine dag gone it lol
Mine is green camo...
What’s the average price for one these ?
I am finding the average prices range from 600.00 to 800.00 depending on location and model finishes
@@Reloadingfromthehotpot yeah that's what I see but all of the CA compliant ones are sold out. Is there a way I can get a look in?
@@TheTAEclub look in ?
I have one, I named mine ... “White Supremacy”
I named mine the "Galactic Blaster" lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thumb hole???!!! You could almost fist that sum’gun....
Almost spit my coffee out on that one 🤣🤣🤣
@@Reloadingfromthehotpot Sorry. WOuldn't want you to waste good coffee, LOL!!!
One problem with the white the crook will see you coming
GOOD !!!
A thumb is not a standard unit of measure 😬
👍👉💨💨
Dude is a Spaz

@@Reloadingfromthehotpot Keep doing you bud , I love these budget reviews! I’ll tune in to every damn one ☝️
Shut the front door I'm at my local home protection store in ohio
