This gun is an excellent buy. it seems that it is basically a cyma cmo.32. i say this because after removing the front and rear sight, they both say cm.32. this might just be parts on the echo 1 but i couldn't help but see that. this gun kinda dissapointed me in the performance department. the gun shoots 380 right out of the box which honestly makes me wonder why they would give a dmr a lower fps than some guns with shorter barrels. this doesnt matter too much because the long barrel allows it to reach targets at much further ranges. i have also tested this gun with an 11.1v lipo battery and the rof performance is very respectable. the aesthetics are very nice and all the metal parts are very high quality. the charging handle is probably the funnest part on this gun. it gives a very satisfying clack when racked. overall very satisfying gun and a definite good buy for the price.
Pros:
charging handle
proven lipo ready
very accurate
Cons:
not high enough fps
magwell is not very sturdy
only minor problems

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.

My first entry into airsoft and I'm glad I made this purchase! While the weight will take a bit to get used to I'm quite happy with the out of box experience, but am also glad there's room to grow with upgrades if I choose to go that route.
The only thing I'd recommend echo1 changing about the rifle itself is to either include an above chamber rail, or simply design it with the rail going all the way back to negate the need to install one.
Pros:
-Great performance and accuracy out of the box
-Comes with everything you need bare minimum to get started
-Excellent build quality
-Looks amazing
-Compatible with upgrade parts
-Plenty of room for bigger batteries
-Hop-up is accessible without having to wrack anything or remove the mag
-Iron sights have vertical and horizontal adjustments built in that do not require any tools so you can adjust on the fly!
-With an above chamber rail added on (at least the one I have) the iron sights are still 100% usable negating the need for QD or quickflip scopes etc. if switching between long and short range targets.
Cons:
-Mags are both Hi-caps.
--Would have preferred a mid-cap and a hi-cap, or even just a single mid-cap instead
-Battery charger isn't that great
-I did not receive any manual with mine
-Fairly heavy for a first timer's rifle
-Choosing the right optics for this if you're new can prove challenging
--it's not really good for long range sniping so a large x10 scope seems silly imo
--but smaller scopes will be too far forward to use (even with an above chamber rail installed) effectively or comfortably
--an above chamber rail addon is a definite recommendation for the majority of sights you would buy for this rifle

materials
Is the whole gun made of polymer or metal? It's 7.5 pounds so that's heavy polymer if it is polymer.
