Echo 1 SM-K Airsoft Rifle Version 3

It's unbelievably accurate for a carbine. I can hit paper targets 9/10 times from 75 feet away... hip firing. The hop up works well. FPS is astounding (two of my friends learned that the hard way lol). Light enough to carry for days if needed. Rail on top for scopes comes in really handy. Rail underneath can have flashlights/foregrips (but I'm not sure about grenade launchers, I think you have to get one that would fit). Magazine capacity is high, I'm always out shooting my buddies with MP5's and M4's. Folding stock for people like me who use full face masks. Good rate of fire. Very durable. Reliable. Great iron sights. Upgrades are plentiful and easy.

Orange tip is MASSIVE. Magazine isn't translucent (transparent) so you can't really see how many bb's you have left. Top rail is plastic. Gun is mostly ABS plastic (but the high quality strong kind). Safety is sometimes a bit iffy and you have to be careful with it. Foregrip wobbles a tiny bit if you try hard enough (BUT does NOT affect accuracy or aiming). Battery compartment is a PAIN to get used to. Needs a little modding when using 9.6volt batteries. Kinda loud even for an AEG (but could be a pro if you see it as an intimidating factor).

A few things:

-Try to use .23 gram bb's or heavier. It increases accuracy, it actually gives better range (use that hop up!), and your friends don't get stung as hard...
-Get some lube... 100% silicon lube, NOT WD40 or any stuff with petroleum in it
-The gun is kinda loud so be prepared for it
-Get a scope if you are a DMR kind of guy, otherwise the iron sights will do fine (this thing is a laser up to 50 feet)
-Extra high caps not needed for backyard wars, if you're playing field or over 2 hours straight they will help.
-When you first get the gun CLEAN out the barrel! It has a TON of gunk in it. Then spray the inside with lube and swab it like 1-2 times.
-AWESOME gun! Totally sweet for ALL AROUND - CQB, Field, Woodland, whatever. It has the range and accuracy but also is light and compact. My favorite AEG (and I own 3 others). You get what you pay for... and in this case you get $160 of the best under-$200 AEG you will ever get in your entire life.

HOPE THIS HELPED... I spent my sweet 10 minutes into this

This gun, overall, is very very good. It has a very high round cap. (470), longer barrel for better accuracy, metal gearbox, very high RPM, and it is very duruable. This gun is well worth the money. It came in very good shape and it came within the ordering date. I am very satisfied with this gun and i wouldnt change it a bit!

I would make the flash hider a bit shorter, and a few BB's fall out everytime you detache the magazine...but not a big issue.

Good gun, strongly recommend if you are looking for a good gun with a decent price

This gun has a very awesome weight. I love the fact that the foldable stock is actually stable. You can upgrade this gun with awesome diversity!!!!!

Include a sling. Unglue the flash hider

During the first few operations, my gun would stop firing. It was probably just a pre-operation thing. Just beware of that. It stopped doing it though.

It has excellent accuracy, good speed, about 365 fps, large mag capacity, folding stock that is good for cqb, and a standard pitcanny rail for scopes. It also has a easy magazine removal, which makes this gun similar to the m8, but in my opinion i think its more reliable. Even though its not as good as the Classic army or KWA, its worth its price. So overall i would recommend it to anyone looking for a pretty good gun.

i liked the the real version, with the built in scope and somewhat cooler look, and the battery takes some time to get used to since its in a different spot, but otherwise its great.

The barrel is pretty long which makes it a bit too bulky, but is ok, just be careful turning a corner.XD if u buy extra mags, they may be a bit tight since mine were and i had to snap it in, but some oil...(i use silicone oil) will make it easier.

plastic body which is more true to the real thing long barrel for better accuracy than the 36c metal rails good long range folding stock is sturdy no wabble

might get biger battery

Lightweight durable folding stock inexpensive mags With hi cap long lasting battery high rate of fire

flash tip ios glued on but i just cover it with tape

you need to get alot of mags as it uses them quickly!
