Product Information:
The Echo 1 M14 SOCOM is a shorter version of the typical M14, and this makes it a short DMR. This weapon is slightly on the heavier side, weighing in at around 7.5 pounds without a battery, mag, or optic, so about 10 pounds after the gun is locked and loaded. After 2-3 games, your shoulders will definitely grow sore from it's weight. The Echo 1 M14 also lacks a lot of needed rail space, but I find that just a simple red dot works well. However, despite being a heavy weapon, this rifle performs like a charm. I've hit targets beyond 200+ feet, and this weapon feeds well with the provided Hi-Cap mag. That, paired with the fact that this rifle has a comfortable grip, and feels strong in your hand, contributes to a good feeling rifle. I recommend using .28g BB's, as I have found that this weight of BB provides the best accuracy, with the longest range. I give this weapon a 4 star rating, because of the lack of rail space, and this M14's weight (which can even be considered a plus, depending on how you look at it). The Echo 1 M14 Is an excellent beginner's/intermediate weapon if you are looking to fulfill a DMR type role for your team. Echo 1 continues to sell affordable, well performing weaponry, and I will continue to buy from them.

Pros:
*Shoots very accurately at 380~390 FPS.
*The range on this rifle reaches out and grabs the unsuspecting personnel.
*Good metal Hi-Cap included magazine.
*Accurate iron sights.
*Comfortable grip and stock.
*1996 SOCOM feel to the weapon.

Cons:
*Not a lot of rail space.
*Oddly short, contributes to a strange, short aesthetic. (Personal preference, I like longer rifles.)
*Polymer body, could be a con or a pro depending on personal preference.

Rating: 4 of 5 Stars! [4 of 5 Stars!]
