This topic will be comparing these 2 guns, and deciding the good and bad things about both of them.
Echo 1 MP5 A4
The Echo 1 MP5 A4 was $130 at my walk in store. It combines power, accuracy and range, with an affordable price. It is fairly compact, and easy to aim and operate. It comes with a battery, charger, 200 BBs, extra plastic flash hider, instructions, and 200 round high cap mag.
PROS:
Good FPS
accuracy is very good for the price
Range is great
Price is UNBELIEVABLE
should last you a while
Cons:
Selector switch is a little sloppy
plastic is only decent
Tokyo Marui upgraded P90 RDS
The Tokyo Marui P90 can be purchased for around $250. I paid a little for from my walk in store, cause I needed it in a hurry, but they gave me a free upgrade which was nice. The gun is very compact, and after getting used to the P90, an M4 seems like an M14 compared to an MP5. The red dot sight is very accurate, and if the batteries die, there are back up iron sights. It is very accurate, and, with the upgraded spring, the range is great.
PROS:
Accuracy
Range (With upgrade)
RDS
Comes with rail
TM, so it should be reliable
realistic trades
IT'S A P90!!!!!!!
CONS:
Magazine capacity
Limited battery space
Price
I am very impressed with both the Echo 1 MP5, and the TM P90. I guess I will end with direct comparison.
(all scores are out of 5)
Echo 1 MP5:
Accuracy: 3 1/2
Range: 4
ROF: 4
Battery compartment: 4 1/5
Magazine Cap: 3
Sights: 3
Fit and finish: 2 1/2
Tokyo Marui P-90:
Accuracy: 4
range: 4 1/4
ROF: 3 3/4
battery compartment: 2
magazine cap: 1 1/2
sights 4
fit and finish: 4
Overall, I would say that the deciding factor, is how much you are willing to pay. If it's a first gun, or you are are short on $$$, get the Echo 1. If you want to spend a lot of money on a high end, the P90 is great.
