thoughts on ECHO1 G36C

kk. The full stock has a great feel, and a surprising rate of fire for an Echo 1. The gun is not to heavy since it is NOT a full metal gun. It has magnets in the handle, and a FULL METal RIS system. My friends came with a MP5J manual and it is certainly have a plastic body. and stock

Yeah I heard that the handle-piece (im not sure what it's called, exacly. bottom reciever?) is plastic as well as the fullstock, but I'm assuming it's ABS plastic. And for the Manual it comes with, the MP5-J and A4 are virtually the same, the only difference that I can see is the battery placement

The reasonit is the same is since the gun is NOT full metal, Not even pot metal like CAs. The pistol grip is Plastic. Maybe an extra weight or two. And the battery placement in the stock. For these VAs take out the full metal, They are pretty much the same except for the springs.

all around, though, do you think it would be a good investment?

40 bucks more, for a RIS rail, a m120 Spring, metal bushings, Metal Spring guide. Hell yeah thats a good deal. Take your stock MP5A4. It may have metal bushings, it may not. But it is already, at my store $40 to put in a M120 Spring and the RIS kit, is pretty expensive. In otherwords, Go for it. Also, what part do you live in Illnois, I have a person looking for a player who plays near VIlla Park IL, which is pretty much right next to Chicago.

haha, alright. I'm going to try and order the gun this week.

Elk Grove, it's around 20 minutes from chicago

He is 5 minutes away from Chicago, Ill contact him

You can find him on airsoft forum, under the name McDoofy, Ill see If I can get him today, on Yahoo messanger.

we ar eon constant chat

haha alright

hm, i just found on AirsoftGI a JG MP5 RIS full metal, Is it the same as the ECHO1 or are the internals different at all? I heard that echo swaps out the JG springs or something

The Echo 1 runs off a M120 for there vector arms series, meaning 400+ FPS. The gun also comes with a metal bushings and spring guide. Which i believe the JG doesnt, come with. But I cant confirm it. The JG is rebranded by ECHO1. Also it doesnt have any magnets

JGs usually shoot from 350 to 380, so you don't exactly know how powerful your gun will be. The VA MP5 comes with metal bushings, metal spring, an M120 spring, and a sector gear clip. (helps it feed better)

all right

thanx guys, youve been a great help

I just ordered the VA, so I hope all goes well when it arrives, in a week im guessing?

Thats a really good choice. Do note that it does not come with a rail on the top of the gun, but only on the forgrip, so if you want to put a scope on, you will have to get a mount for the MP5, I believe they are called claw mounts.

It comes with a 30mm mount that will work for scopes and red dots. (the front sight will be in the way for scopes)

OK, that resolves the problem. I thought it doesnt come with one though..... Sorry.

It's not a rail system though, it's a "ring" that can hold a 30mm scope

OH. So it CAN be useless. i would still get a claw mount

haha, my friends have som really nice red/green dot scopes on their utg mp5's, ill just buy one of those. its 40mm as opposed to 30, but ill just buy a mount for it or find a make-shift way to attach it. orr, when it comes, i have a bb-gun scope and i'll see how that works out. if not deff getting a red/green dot scope

by it, i meant the gun, sorry if that caused confusion

You can go to Airsoftextreme.com and by an MP5 mount for 37.50 dollars and a $45 AMP Red/Green dot scope

lol why would you spend that much money on a mount? It costs as much as the RDS! Go here, www.ncstardealer.com
ill provide likes of what you are looking for there, later.

Ik right?

It would cost almost as much as his gun for the mount and RD lol

Note the flat rate shipping $13 (sadly it used to be $10)

haha, the leapers rgd scope is 35 at this store by me, and ill just make a mount out of something in the garage maybe.
I'll let you guys know when the gun comes (supposedly wednesday according to UPS)

ill make a list of the total cost of each option and weigh it by that

I own a JG/E1 G36c and must say it's frigin amazing! .20 gram bb's or higher are a must! as i learned today when i managed to bet my hands on some. This gun shoots really hard! wind the mag up all the way and shoot at a baked bean can (the bottom) it will go through it. The rails aren't so important to me but they are handy to have and if you want different ones you can upgrade them easily, It is very sturdy and is worth the money. After upgrades (which i will hopefully get soon) it should be good for a while. however i would get a better battery (as in life span off one charge) or a spare to replace the one in the gun after it dies (so you can keep playing while the other one charges) any way it worth it i got mine off ebay for $120 total. it came brand new in the mail two days later (i live in az it shipped from CA) but it got here fast and has my friends living in fear! lol jk

oh and it also can trim your rose bush if you have good aim!
