Product Information:
Sorry about the long review, I know a lot of words scare some people, but if you are serious about getting a good AEG for cheap, READ THIS!

Got this early April 2008, And I've LOVED it ever since. I've kept it stock, since I have no prior knowledge of internal upgrades. Just whipped it out this morning to see if it still works after the winter, it does! Excellent AEG starter gun, can preform well against CA or TM, even some Systema are only a little better than this stock baby! (For a difference of $200 - $1000 less, I'd rather take the Echo 1 and upgrade it!)

If you are going to be a new AEG player, you MUST purchase a Smart Charger. These things are SO worth the $20 - $30 investment. It will NEVER overcharge your battery, and will charge MUCH faster than a standard wall charger! (About 30 minutes for a full charge!) You can also discharge your battery, which will drain everything in it, useful for after keeping battery in storage for a long time. (Doing it right now actually!)

Pros:
Love the RIS

Fast shooting (345 fps)

Hard hitting

VERY Accurate once hop up is correctly adjusted

Came with a vertical grip, I don't like it very much

All black, harder to see than a wood faux version

EXCELLENT pistol grip! Very comfortable!

Outperforms all other Echo 1's in RPM (around 850-900), Accuracy, and ammo capacity
(600 BB's instead of M16/M4's 500!)

Looks totally badass!

Cons:
No performance Cons, just mostly aesthetic

Front Ironsight wobbles, need to get around to some krazy glue :P

Most of the body is plastic, doesn't bother me to much

Fire selector can become loose if played with too much T_T
(Once the cap falls off, a phillips head screwdriver can tighten it though)

Usual battery hassle, has an easy compartment to store battery above fuse and connector though!
(Once you get the battery in correctly, leave it in and charge the battery in the gun!)
GET A SMART CHARGER!

Scrolling wheel for Hi-cap fell in a little, still functional, but a little more stress on the fingers!



Overall, this gun is easily the best bang for your buck! Looks awesome, feels great, and shoots incredibly well! I recommend that you get in touch with your inner terrorist and buy this gun! ;)

Airsoft GI shipped fast, and everything came beautifully!
