"Got this gun used from a friend, and haven't regreted it since! I've had a G&P 551 on it and loved it, but now it sports an ACOG. The motor finaly gave up on me, so I put in a Matrix Hi-torque. That motor in combination with an Intellect 9.6v 1600Mah mini it shoots around 16-18rps. I was only getting about 340fps with mine, so I upgraded it to a M120 variable pitch and it kicked it up to at least ~410fps. The hardest part about that upgrade was getting the ambi selector working right again, and I agree that any kind or gearbox asociated upgrade with one of these is NOT for the inexperienced or the easily frustrated airsofter. I had the common hopup problem with mine like most people seem to, and the problem is an abnormaly large hopup spacer or 'nub'. It does have a madbull blue bucking in it now along with a madbull 363mm 6.03mm black python tightbore and is giving my KWA SR12 a run for it's money! Some mags don't wana lock in properly if you're not careful, so just put them in then give them a firm slap on the bottom of the mag to ensure they're seated proplerly. I have had absolutely NO poblems with ANY mag feeding in this gun! This gun is pretty durable, because I tripped on some fence mesh wire in the grass while running full blast and landed right on the stock hinge! I'm an easy 200lb guy, and I got right back up and used the gun the rest of the day with a broken stock. I replaced it with a D-Boys stock and personally I think the D-Boys stock seems tougher which I didn't expect. This gun will only fit mini batteries unless you get the CA large battery stock. Also just an FYI, I have never had any problems with the wires being exposed where the stock folds. There's extra hard rubber insolation at that hinge point and I've never had the wires get pinched like allot of people fear. The guy I bought it from wishes he had never sold it to me and wants one just like what I've done to mine! You won't regret buying one of these at all!

"THIS GUN IS GREAT! Shoots really hard and you will always hear someone yell or curse out when you shoot them with it. I got 2 extra high caps because the one that came with it misfed. This guy is pretty heavy and full metal. I have a grip/bipod thing wich i got for 20 bucks here. Also have a 60 acog scope and just ordered a 9.6 volt battery and a speed chrger because the chrger that comes with it is bad, and the ROF isnt to great. OVERALL: AmAzInG!!!! get this!!!!

"This Gun is absolutely the best out there for the price. I couldn't ask any more out of AEG!
Pros: -Strong(BEAST MODE) built
- amazing range and power
-not a burden to carry around for 4-8hrs
-M4 mags allow for easy (inexpensive) mag purchasing...also good in battle..majority of people have M4 style mags.
-ECHO1.....i will never by another AEG that is not ECHO1 they are amazing.
Cons: -really isn't any
*I would highly suggest you buy another battery, the one that it comes with shoots a low ROF(standard...the battery's that AEG's come with are just for testing). I bought a 9.6v 2300mAh and it shoots at an incredible ROF now.

"Unless you added a hell of a lot of stuff this gun does not way 16 pounds... It clearly says it weighs eight pounds in the description.
by Alec T. on 05/14/2009
"Very good gun. Weighs around 16 pounds so its a pain to carry around for 8 hours however.
Gearbox is also very hard to work in so be careful, if you don't know what your doing, this is not a gun to exeriment with.
Good gun though. ROF is decent. Around 410fps with .20 BB's. Great buy.

"Really good gun. It is very easily handled, and although it looks bulky in the pictures, it is actually very slim and trim. Great infantry weapon, although it does have really good range/accuracy for such a short barrel. The package includes a metal outer barrel that you can attach to make a standard SCAR-L. This will allow you to put a standard m4 length inner barrel in there, meaning you can turn this thing into a long range beast by buying a single $30 upgrade. It could fill any role very well, but is probably best suited for woodland, as the fps is too hot for cqb. I am extremely happy with my purchase of this weapon and really recommend it to any level of player. I have found that this rifle competes with "top of the line" aeg's (G&G, CA, even $350-$400 customs). If you are looking for a high quality rifle at a mid quality price, buy this weapon.
Pros:
-full metal(metal rails, upper reciever, mag's... w/ polymer lower reciever, pistol grip and stock)
-very functional stock that locks in place tightly
-accurate
-blazing stock fps
-bad ass looks
-easily upgraded(tons of rails, version 2 gearbox)
-high quality metal internal parts
Cons:
-rear iron sight is a little small, just buy a scope/red dot

"This is an amazing rifle. I have used this gun against the "top of the line" aeg's (G&G, CA, even $350 dollar custom guns) and it has held up fine. The range and accuracy are not quite as high as say, a g&g m4, but those also have preinstalled, longer tightbore inner barrels. The rof is slightly lower that some guns, but that's due to the powerful spring, and the 8.4v battery. The battery itself has held up to lots of use, and has never died on me. In fact, I have never noticed any difference between a fully charged and a battery after 4-5 hours of non-stop play. The battery will last you a while, and is certainly worth carrying around if you insist on upgrading the battery. The gun is made of really nice materials, and is very durable. The gun is great for lefty shooters like me, and with a folded stock, I becomes a bad ass cqb weapon, although the fps is a little hot for cqb environments. I recommend this gun for close to medium range combat, although it can reach out and touch someone at 175ft or more, just don't expect to hit them with one shot. If you add a tightbore barrel, a new hop-up bucking, and a new motor, you will have an extremely accurate, long range weapon that gets the job done, and looks good doing it. I recommend for any player, new or experienced. Plus, the gun uses a version 2 gearbox, so there are unlimited replacement parts should you ever screw something up(not that you'll likely do so).

"this gun is amazing, i just got it yesterday, took it out to shoot, its kicks ass
you need to adjust the sights but not a big deal, the front sight you need like tweezers or small pair of pliers, gun shoots good, but I'm planning on getting a new battery, this free battery it comes with of course hides this guns true potential

"this gun is awesome! i was having SKIRMISH the other day and it was me with my scar versus two other automatics and i won! this gun is very powerful, it made my friend BLEED from 10 to 15 feet away. also, this gun has a very high rof on a full battery. i also really like the stock. 1 bad thing is u hav 2 wach out 4 the wire in the bak of the gun when folding the stock. over all, this gun rocks

"This is to all people who are commenting on This Gun about the BB's,
-This guns barrel is not a free floating barrel (9/10)
-To fix this problem, you might want to adjust the hop-up on Low,.
-And if that doesn't work,... Then buy Heavier BB's.
Thanks and Hope this helps your problems!
.Also,
This battery that comes with a gun, charges like a 7.6v Charger, I recommend HIGHLY that
You Get a higher battery; maby a 9.7v Battery and Smart Charger.
Thanks.

"I've used my friends Echo 1 SCAR, and it's a beast.....just in case anyone is wondering about attaching the barrel extender, I've heard from few sources that you can take off the flash hider by heating up the barrel with a hair dryer for like 30 seconds to loosen the glue, then use a jar opener thingy (the rubber gripper) and twist it off, the heat loosens the glue right up!

"jackson to answer ur question u should either try using heavier bbs or there might be a burr in ur barrel starting which what happend to my CA m4 b

"I own this gun with a Systema Hop- up Bucking and a G&P M120 motor and it shoots around 80 yards (no kidding) accuratly. It has around 20 rps with the M120 motor and a 9.6V battery. It's a fantastic gun. My friend's G&P M4 is fully upgraded and I can keep up with him with my SCAR. His is better at range (100 yards) and mine is better at ROF so we make a good team. My SCAR is better than the VFC in my opinion because it's more durable and relaible. My friend has a VFC SCAR and I can outshoot him and he has the long inner barrel on his, I have the CQC.
Pros:
Full Metal
Decently accurate trades
Nice bolt sound
unique battery placement (cheekrest)
extendible and foldable stock
good hop up
good solid selector switch
M4 mags (MAG mid caps rock)
Decent ROF stock with a 9.6V
Cons:
Crappy hop up- fixed with new bucking
SCAR sights suck (took them off and put a red/green dot reflex on it.)
Wire exposed when the stock is folded. (electrical tape makes it better)
Over all- you wont be upset with your purchase of this gun. Echo 1 is deff. jumping up there as a good AEG brand. I've beat TM's and CA's with my SCAR. Play safe and play hard.
