Echo 1 ATS Long Spring Airsoft Shotgun (Black)
[02434 / ECHOCAWATSSH]		 $185.00
by M BLASCYK verified buyer Date Added: Monday 23 June, 2008
extremely tough shotgun. its very similar to the way a maruzen spring m870 (ca870) would work, it even takes the same springs. with a little work and skill with a dremmel you can modify the hop system to accept a Marui VSR-10 bucking. im working on getting a custom ordered 6.01 through spartan imports.

it shoots one bb at a time and has the potential to be used in a sniper role. stock, this thing shoot 420fps with .20bbs and has a 170 foot accuracy range. but if you go in a clean everything up you can extend it to ~200 feet of range. thanks to the V-hop design its very consistant in its accuracy. if it wasnt for the low quality barrel and hop rubber the hop still cant be trusted. since i replaced the hop rubber with an airseal nineball rubber i'v had good accuracy out to 230-250 feet with .25 bbs untill they started to curve from the efects of the barrel.

on the outside its mostly plastic, but atleast its ABS and the grips are rubberized. for the price you should get more metal, but CAW must just be lazy (CAW made the gun for ECHO).

my bigest pet peeve is the stock. its got a huge side to side movement, the same wobble is on the real shotgun but atleast the real gun has a rubberized stock. atleast this gun is compaable with real steel and marui m3 s90 stocks, so a full stock is optional and im getting one. there is a picitini rail on the replica in front of the rear site to add optics, and it could benifit from one.

a great thing is its compatability with UTG and Marui shotgun shell mags. the hard thing is getting them out of the gun when they are empty. the brim on the bottem of the shell gets cought on the loading mec. and takes a good pry to get out. i took a dremmel(you could use sandpaper) and sanded off the brim. now they dont get cought. youll find that they dont move when you open the loading door. by hitting the pump on your palm in a downward motion, the shell will start to tip out and you can grab it from there.

i give it a 3 out of 5 cause the outsides could be better and the preformance has a large gap between its stock solid preformance and its peak preformance.
