Echo1 = Serious Business

[Deathlycobra]

Had two Echo 1s

The G36c was awesome, very accurate and got the job done. M4 blew balls

[Eyes On]

Never had any issues with any of my Echo-1's. Then again, you don't read stories about the airplanes that land safely.

I own an Echo 1 M4 as my first ever AEG... it was great until the wiring harness failed (after four months of play, about 5k rounds = 5 x 1k bags of 0.20g BB). Other players claimed using LiPo battery on it and never had problems, mine burned using a 9.6v battery without any internal mods at all. My final take, Echo 1 is a great AEG for new players on a budget but if you have the money go spend it on higher end models....

Honestly, I think that was the answer like 1-2 years ago.

I'd say the best gun for a BEGINNER is the Combat Machine M4s, sexy as hell, CQB friendly, accurate, and super reliable. Far better than any other Echo 1 ive seen.

Yup... 2 years later... same results...

Still using the same Echo1 I bought a few years ago *Full-stock Stag15 Carbine* - never had any problems with it.

I bought it knowing full well it was cheap, and potentially going to break down at some point, the same as any AEG, albeit probably sooner than later.

I'm also comfortable fixing whatever breaks on/in it - and in the event something dramatic happens, I can replace the damn thing and still spend less that some high-end guns.

I'm no fanboy - I don't care which company makes the quality and value I'm looking to buy, so long as I get what I want out of my purchase - and like anyone looking to spend the kind of money we do on our toys - you do a little research into what will meet your needs, and purchase accordingly.

I suppose, in perspective, I had tons of fun with my UTG MP5 when they first showed up dispite being a total pile of crap. I enjoyed fixing it up into something nice. Hell, that thread is still probably around.

-=Back on primary topic=-
My first look at the Ad had me scratching my head to even figure out what they were saying - let alone what it was supposed to mean.

What the hell is a chairsofter? What do chairsofters have to do with rebrands? Doesn't E1 Rebrand JG stuff? Are...they... bashing themselves? I'm lost.

Super-edit Number 2:
Any idea how the chinese 'crack-downs' will affect E1s supply lines?
Maybe they're intent is to indicate that they're going to start assembling thier own shit state-side to buffer that kind of activity elsewhere?

[Limpy]

The ad says "Rebrand this chairsofter."

What're we going to rebrand him with?

[Dukky]

I have a ton of friends who buy e1 and LOVE THEM until their triggers detach, motors blow, gears strip, shells crack, barrels slide out the front of the gun, no magazine comes with the gun, the stock came off when they pulled the trigger the first time, etc. This is just with their M4's. My JG M4, M16, and Well nondescript sniper rifle are still kicking after 2, 5, and 3 years respectively.

Me and my friends have a rule of thumb with Echo 1's and its that they're fun as hell for about 6 months, and then they break.

Echo 1.. So much shit is flung about them its funny, but fact of the matter is they make good AKs, I own an Echo1 CPW and it runs fine and has for several months and as for any other popular models? I have no clue.
The ad does suck more then a hooker in Vietnam though.

No, they don't make good anything, because they don't make anything themselves.

CYMA, who are the actual makers of the CPW, does make good AKs. I've found with Echo1 that you're paying more money for a little less chance of getting a lemon and/or them adding useless shit (like LE stocks on AKs) on your gun.

I guess I didn't think that throug.h too much, you're absolutely right but my point was the CPW is good that they sell, but either way everybody has their own opinions though your statement is a fact. I was just trying to give my honest input.
