FN Herstal Licensed Full Metal SCAR-L Airsoft AEG Rifle by Cybergun (Color: Tan)

"AWESOME GUN!! Got this gun last friday 12-9-11, used it in a game next day, their chrono put me at 400fps exactly. it was chrono'd from 390-405. great gun! fire rate is solid for a 8.4v

PROS:
Good ROF for an 8.4

a 9.6v battery will in fact fit, it just takes some wiggling to get in, after its in, could be hard to get out same as getting in, but you can get it in and fully collapse it aswell. Just position the wire correctly and you will be good! :) dont be discouraged on the 9.6 cause you cant just throw it in there lol, 4 batteries long, its a perfect fit.

Shoots strait

Comes with a barrel extention!! even though it says it does not, it actually does :)

does not wobble anywhere, and if it does and your THAT picky, then your spoiled.

Shoots 390fps-405fps out of box with .20g bbs

very sturdy, the weight was not an issue for me and im a wimp :P

ambidextrous mag release, selector switch.

comes with 1 grey extended high cap mag, 1 tan 75rd mid cap.

full metal upper receiver

flip up sights and adjustable rear flip sight.

CONS:

Flash hider is plastic and i fell and broke it the day of use.

Bolt catch system is just for looks and does not work. Must hold the bolt back to get to hop up system.

foldable stock can wear down your wire if your not careful when opening and closing it. (wire shows when folded)

butt pad comes off easily, i thought it would not but it truly did :( tape it down.

gearbox needs to be tightened up a bit when purchased.

The tan mag that it comes with needs to be pushed in a little harder than normal mags (not really an issue)



Make sure you guys lube your mags and gun when you get this weapon! Its best to do in order to keep your bullets feeding properly :) I would suggest this gun to first time airsoft users like myself and experienced players!

"i got this gun last year, and i have constantly had fun shooting it, yet the gun has some downsides.

Pros:
Fps is hot.
very nice construction
intimidating look
working charging handle
ambidexterous

Cons:
Heavy
CANT fit a 9.6
rof is kinda bad out of the box

Overall i would buy this gun if i were beginning airsoft or looking for a gun other than m4s which everyone has. if you put the time and effort into it, it can be one heck of a gun.

"The ECHO 1 ASC or the SCAR L is pretty good for beginner and competition style skirmishes but the only thing that i dont like about this model is that the stock wont fit a 9.6 battery unless u take the back of stock off and make some changes with the battery space but i would just suggest u get the scar h because the battery compartment is bigger and u dont have 2 make room for a 9.6 because they put more room in the stock
PROS:
- FULL METAL upper reciever
- comes with barrel extenson
- rail system
- folding sights for when u want optics
CONS:
- battery compartment is crap cant fit 9.6
- wires r exposed when stock is folded

"pros:

full metal
version 2 gear box
3 way adjustable stock
nice rate of fire out of the box
good distance
easy to adjust hop up
lots of rail space

Cons:
wire connecting the battery in the stock to the body
gear box is a pain in the but to remove

"i just got the echo1 scar tan, i will say this gun is AMAZING!! it is full metal except for the stock and lower reciever. All the important parts are metal and the upper reciever is to. there are only a few problems that dont have to do with the gun. the mid cap mag has some feeding problems. also the foregrip has some problems tightning. what happend to me when i got the gun i put the battery in and tried to fire and it was making a horrible nosie. i later figured out that the motor was off-set so i screwed it up more and cept firing it every once in awhile. i finaly got it to work now it is amazing!! right now you may think it has alot of problems but that would be wrong. there is realy nothing wrong with it. but i would suggest getting a faster motor but thats just me.

"Awesome gun! Nice body great rate of fire even with the 8.4 volt. I wouldn't recommend using a 9.6 until you upgrade the internals. I can't see what all the fuss is about with people removing the flashhider, I gave it a good turn and it screwed right off. As far as the hopup is concerned, yes out of the box my .25s went about 30 ft and then flew stright up. When you order this gun, also order a standard black hopup bucking and save yourself the trouble. When I finally got mine and got the bucking installed .20s went more or less straight to the target. I don't know if this is something evike does, but my battery came fully charged. The first game I played, it chronoed at 365, but that was with the hopup being all messed up, so I'm sure I may have squeezed a few more fps out of it by fixing the bucking. Disassembly was a snap, pop out the two pins in the lower receiver, take out two screws on the lower receiver and one behind the rear sight and everything just slides out. All in all a great gun, both visually asthetic and for a stock gun, a real powerhouse. I would recommend this gun to anyone. If you are new to the game, talk to someone who plays about replacing the hopup bucking.

"I've had this gun for almost a month now. A really nice gun.

PROS
High FPS
Metal Upper Reciever
very accurate
very durable
looks beastly
very nice sound

CONS
not full metal like i expected

beside that its a great gun and a great buy

Webmaster: All full metal scar have "metal upper receiver" just like MP5 series AEG. There is no such thing as metal scar folding stock or metal motor grip, even on the real thing...just FYI.

"Very good gun no real complaints, however my freind owns this gun and i own the Dboys full metal one and there pretty much the exact same exept for brand labels and an extra mag, honestly this gun is good but the Dboys is the same =)

"this gun is great alot of power about 410 FPS! ROF is about 15.....





pros

"For this price point the performance out of the box is very disappointing. Externals are acceptable for ~$260 but the weak gearbox and poor hop-up are embarrassing.

"Great externals and look for the under $200 4th of July sale price. Shoots ok with the cheap stock silver motor with 11.1v, but a Rocket HT motor would wake this gun up. The aluminum cylinder won’t last long, Polycarbonate piston looks ok, no spring bearings on either end. The steel gears look strong though.
If you’re planning on upgrading the internals, you’d better think twice, unless you’re a seasoned tech. The gearbox is rough inside and out, lots of deburring work. The gearbox is also tight, which means you can’t use aftermarket gears unless you shave the stock 8mm bushings or install low profile FLT bushings. If you do use the stock bushings, be aware that they do have a lot of axle play, which wasn’t acceptable. If you want to use a different gearbox shell you will have only a few options because you will need one with forward selector switch gear holes(G&G gb shells should work), BUT, if you’re willing to deal with the hassle, and do the work, you’ll get a lot of attention at the field.

"Good early experience, bad quality control.

I had this gun for the first 42ish days of its life, and my experience was positive for the first few weeks. However, when things went wrong, this gun became a nightmare.

Pros:
Gun shoots pretty hard

Metal receiver is tough and my gun didn’t wear that much externally

Looks awesome

Trigger is responsive

Lots of rails!


Cons:
The hopup system is difficult to adjust without the little, easy to lose tool, as it isn’t a rotary hop up system

Fire selector switch is gummy, and doesn’t really click. It also breaks. The spring that holds the ball bearing in the fire selector uncoiled itself on one side, to the point it stuck out from the fire selector switch

Getting the gun apart was a nightmare. 3-4 different bits and at least 10 screws that were different types, this gun isn’t field stripable unless you have a toolbox.

Folding stock was nice, but the spring protecting the wire scratched and moved off the part it was supposed to protect very easily. It would also sometimes stick out, so you’d just have to force the stock shut.

(Basically just an unreliable folding stock)

There is no included manual or video that shows you how to disassemble the gun, only a similar video of a different scar that is higher end, which I had to find via a forum.

Most of my biggest gripes (uncoiling spring and unreliable folding stock) were likely just quality control issues, but the poor design and lack of material to guide you through maintaining your gun is frustrating, but this gun was very fun when it worked.

"I love this gun alot but I was messing with it today and pressed the button to extend the stock and when I pulled a tiny pin flew out of the butt stock and now my stock slides in and out and wont lock into position. What can i do about this?

"This thing didn't last long for me before the dust cover snapped... then it didn't work... then I got it fixed and it stopped working again. Then the flash hider broke and the rear sight adjustment wheel fell off. I only got to use it a couple of times when it worked, but it worked amazing the few times it did. R.I.P. bud.

"This gun for the most part is good but could be better. First upon arrival the plastic locking mechanism for the foldable stock was broken on arrival. Second after less than 100 rounds the back top screw of the gear box came loose and fell into the gear box jamming it and breaking several teeth off one of the gears. After fixing that the gun would not fire properly. Come to find out that for some reason the trigger had been modified (the top piece had been ground down to less than half the original length not letting the trigger hold the connection long enough to let the motor fully spin and fire the gun) not sure who did this, but definitely not the owner of the gun. So I fixed that and now it seems to be working fine. Oh and the gear box shimming was pretty poor too had to fix that as well. But over all once and the problems were fixed that gun seems to be on good working order just have to wait till the next game to give it a full test.
