Airsoft GI - Echo 1 Red Star AKM Full Metal Real Wood AEG

[legendofgodz]

i just bought this gun 1 day ago

[1koombiyah]

The word your looking for? you haven't heard? I thought everyone heard that the bird is the word.

[bumblebee561]

$210??? lucky!!! i live in canada, so i cant order from us so i have to buy it off torontoairsoft for a regual price of $430 but right now is on sale for $360 =(

p.s can it fit a ACM ak47 1200rd double magazine?

[Omanjack]

@bumblebee561 i know watch you mean i live in ireland where airsoft guns are just as hard to get as they are in canada

[Weso1296]

Guy makes me wana buy this.... and so i did.

[Striker51z]

Echo1 rebranded their AK from CYMA. All they did was add some fake trade marks. If your were to compare the 2 guns, side by side(I have done this on the field) it becomes blatently obvious.

[Gannon191]

@Striker51z Haha no. My friend broke the fire selector on his Red Star AK74u. He replaced it with a cyma AK gerabox we had. The Red star has entireley different parts and performed so much better than the CYMA.

[Striker51z]

@Gannon191 probably because your friend has one of CYMA's crappier versions instead of a CM048.

[Sporora]

@Gannon191 The Echo 1 Red Star series are all rebrands of CYMA's that are clones the VFC design...

[BobbyPlane6252]

cool gun I might buy this from airsoft gi soon

[ScottandAustinTV]

wow ECHO 1 you know your AKs

[TheStevo29]

@manofworldofwarcraft eww lol

[manofworldofwarcraft]

i just jizzed and queefed in my pants and i have morning wood now

[Airsofter0998]

@manofworldofwarcraft

wtf

[callofthedeadfreak]

I got mine for 144$ and it was new... I need help shootin it tho it wont shoot... I charged the battory but it did not work...

[Spetsnaz1220]

@callofthedeadfreak where did you find it for that price?

[immachasem]

@AIRSOFTGIdotcom does this have adjustable hop up? also does the charging handle move?

[XxBioElementxX]

is the body steel, aluminum, or pot metal?

[SuperFinnish]

@XxBioElementxX Steel.

[ExileMCR]

i hear the mag is a tad bit wobbly

[4everUSNavy]

i saw you echo1 m28 video, and this gun is mooses! haha!

[Nitoryuu]

wow...$230 for something lik that? Where I live that would probably $500 easily =/

[MORDEKAIZ]

@Nitoryuu buy it online

[Nitoryuu]

@MORDEKAIZ Can't ship guns from other countries into Canada, and our sites are terribly overpriced. I'm just lucky to be friends with a retailer. Although $500 might be an overstatement, but it'll be at least close to $400.

[SuperAussm]

its 195 now

[taiko729]

@SuperAussm its 235 now

[Cole57ful]

430 with 12 gram

[Apoctank]

@Cole57ful hehe WRONG i chronoed mine at 428 with .2

but i had to throw in an M120 to be field legal

[Cole57ful]

430 eith 12 gram

[zaHINo7]

okej i asked the question if the gun have a realistic field strip on the front grip and two guys gave me two answer one said yes and the other said no...so is it yes or no??

[xXpsychopathicXx420]

um.. confident? lol

[piefuzzz]

Is the flash hider removable?

[Magic44887]

@piefuzzz yea

[piefuzzz]

@Magic44887

Can thou teach thy how?

[Magic44887]

@piefuzzz its not hard bro. its glued on tho, so you might need a hair dryer of something to melt the glue

[xXMSSniperXx]

@Magic44887 haha i prefer to use a blowtorch haha js

[Magic44887]

@xXMSSniperXx i dont blame you, its faster

[TheAirSoftDude45]

600 rounds good lord

[AZBA11in]

airsoft gi sucks

[TheGamerStefan]

@AZBA11in

u sucks

[airsoft443]

you guys might be the biggest store but definetely not the best your customer service sucks. Took me like an hour to have some guy tell me that you dont have the 4 dollar part in stock

[SuperFinnish]

@airsoftcqbmaster55 E1 rebrands, get over it. You can buy the same gun for cheaper without those lame white markings on the side.

[KRAUTKICKER]

@SuperFinnish Not all ECHO 1 are rebrands, plenty are made by ECHO 1 themselves. They also have better quality control for the few products on its line that are rebrands...JG is often just a huge, nonfunctioning paperweight, with internal problems all over the place, ECHO 1 gets rid of over 70% of those problems.

[SuperFinnish]

@KRAUTKICKER Sure, my JG and the ones ive seen have lasted for years without any problems.

´´few products on its line that are rebrands´´ But nearly all of them guns are rebrands and few of them are ordered from better manufacturers like VFC. But Echo1 itself doesnt make anything.

[yourredcomrade717]

@KRAUTKICKER no, they actually dont. ive been in dboys and echo1 aks. its the same damn gun in and out. except the 60-100% markup. 30 day warranty HA. most of the time we try and get an echo1 returned they blame the user and politely tell us to screw ourselves.

also, i have this gun. makes my dboys look like gold. the externals are crapmetal and break. and this gun shoots too hot. buy a full steel dboys.

[theman123110]

haha i like to see the bloopers!!!

[MrJTBrisson]

"thats how confident they are in their products"......SO CONFIDENT THAT THEY GIVE A WHOLE 30 DAYS????????????? WOW THATS..........not a long time whatsoever. some confidence.

[iNophex]

@MrJTBrisson Long enough to find out your guns not running properly.

[Spetsnaz1220]

Who did they rebrand?

[Sporora]

@Spetsnaz1220 CYMA

[zaHINo7]

does it have the realistic field strip??

[ekstaasikontiainen]

@zaHINo7 no

[TheParanormal]

@zaHINo7 Yes.

[ak47madness647]

try not to buy when the battarie goes in the back and if the back breaks if you fall in front of it and when back breaks its inoprable but be causius great gun

[ak47madness647]

try not to buy when the battarie goes in the back and if the back breaks if you fall in front of it and when back breaks its inoprable

[g4bandit]

Confiedence in their product? how can a rebrand be counted as their product.

[masterpickle13]

i just got a ak47 it has a folding stock, 450 hi cap mag, 500 fps Aeg its so awesome

[cjpig1]

i bought the last one a couple months ago

[soulbladez22]

Do you have to keep buying new batteries?

[XxSYCOSLAYER15xX]

man i realy wish i could get one but i have no money :( i wish thr was a way santa couldgive me a wepon insted of stupid sox...being competitive might not b so bad eithr

[soulbladez22]

I recently got an ak47 a few weeks ago and it was fine untill suddenly it got jammed some how. I used the jamming rod already and it still keeps jamming and i checked the magazine it was fine also. I charged the battery for like a day and it still wont stop jamming. Do you have to keep buying new batteries or something because something is wrong with my airsoft gun.

[XxSYCOSLAYER15xX]

@soulbladez22 haha it jamms as much as a real one but the real one is easier to fix hahaha

[rotwiler306]

1:13 worst drumming ever?

[AppleAirsoft]

this is a super noob question from some 1 with russian airsoft kit but what is the diffenence between an ak47 and an akm is it only the front hand guard and the top rail ?

[SuperFinnish]

@AppleAirsoft Top rail? huh... AKM has different receiver,top cover,handguards,pistol grip and stock, also different gas block and flashhider. Oh and Nobody uses the original AK-47 anymore.

[AppleAirsoft]

@SuperFinnish ha lol thanks lol i dnt know what to call it and i guessed no 1 used the original bar taliban

[carbongraphi]

Im happy now ;)

[mcghee95]

just bought one cant wait to get ordered stock to fit my lipoly cause some people it has a small area, and i ordered a rail sytem for it, i ordered .3 bb's cause i dont want to not be able to see them and i upgraded it a bit so it will be like 450 or 460 fps, and i ordered ten mid caps so im am ready to pown some noob ass

[00gbal]

Is Echo 1 TM compadable????

[MrLuisv2]

anyone wanna buy this gun from me brand new with box and everything 190 bucks. if you do contact me

[hokage64th]

SEXY ;O

[wolfcookieo9]

i love you and your website!!!

[GUNSFOREVER1]

God damn orange tips.

[redtaco900]

your wearing a cspromod shirt !!!! thats awesome

[exdeeer]

@redtaco900

It says GI and has the ASGI symbol thing..

[rickieingle101st]

I know you guys offer a bg-15 grenade launcher, can i fit that on this gun with no problem?...also would this be a good battle rifle in any environment?

[kevin113423]

@rickieingle101st Most grenade launchers use the weaver rail or "tactical rail" system. The AK doesn't have it so the answer is no.

[rickieingle101st]

@kevin113423........not exactly.....you can mount a bg15 on a real ak47 that doesnt have rails..........so thats why i was asking

[MisterWordman]

Yeah, I assumed so haha. What should I do? Airsoft GI doesnt sell full metal AK mags

[MisterWordman]

I have this gun. Very good but just a few warnings.

- Mag is very nice quality but the internals truly suck. You have to wind about every 5 shots.

- Plastic pistol grip may turn off a few. Personally I like it because real AKMs have plastic grips like this, but some people don't know the difference b/n an AK and am AKM so I'm just throwing that out there.

- Everytime you want to change the battery you have to whip out the screwdriver.

[morbid631angel]

@MisterWordman you have a faulty clip.. i have this and do not have to wind till after about 100 shots

[MrRacoony]

Tim, are you ever going to do a better review on this? little more detail and maybe a chrono?

[MrHeico]

i was wondering.. is the magazine is from plastic or metal?

thanks!

[XxBioElementxX]

how did you get that job!!!

[LTCimbulletproof]

does this have a threaded barrel under the flash hider?

[TheParanormal]

@LTCimbulletproof yes

[boobie284]

an echo 1 Ak for 200$ or a Kwa M4a1 for 300$.... I rather get the M4....

[ekstaasikontiainen]

COME ON! ECHO1 IS A REBRAND. They aren't going towards higher quality guns! IT'S THE OEM WHO IS PROGRESSING.

[mikeyk777]

my friend just got this gun. after using this, i feel my JGm4 isnt even worth being in existance

[airsoftgunner47]

looks like a WASR-10...

[SuperFinnish]

@airsoftgunner47 Thats because this is AKM and WASR-10 is AKM version.

[airsoftgunner47]

@SuperFinnish i know. i also know that this gun is awesome and the WASR is a piece of shit.

[LieutenantScout]

@airsoftgunner47 The real WASR-10 is a great weapon...

[airsoftgunner47]

@LieutenantScout Do you own one or did you just shoot one?

[LieutenantScout]

@airsoftgunner47 Owned one for about a year and a half so far. Great rifle.

[CerealIsDaBomb]

you cannot build an ak out of any different material a maga diba blagamada

[tatetalk]

@Serraristudios Just like a DBOY, but better

[inferno1101102]

this is a mad crazy gun everybody who loves the ak shold get it

[megapyro013]

Fuck Im gettin this

[legoman3342]

i just jizzed

[longhairedndnsavage1]

airsoft gi or anyone who has upgraded there own---

a friend brought me a disassembled echo vector arms 74. its the same receiver/barrel trunnion/ forward barrel assembly system. here is my question.... where dose the plastic "L" shaped barrel block go?

if anyone can answer this i would be grateful. thank you.

[dsfasfasfasfasf]

what is the best battery to use 8.4 or 9.6

[nadatazz]

@dsfasfasfasfasf It depends what kind of gun you have. If you have a spitty AEG that you bought for $45 bucks on Ebay, an 9.6V will probobly blow you gun up. If you have the Red Star thats displayed in this video, I would go with a 9.6V. They bump up the ROF which is usually a good plus. But thats just me, havin a happy time when I hear my KWA run with the 11.6. Also it depends on the Milliamps (forgot the abbriviations) on the battery you always wanna go with the higher Milliamps for endurance

[dsfasfasfasfasf]

@nadatazz to right man kwa with a lipo is too beast this gun should be fine with a 9.6. what type of connector does it have

[SuperFinnish]

@nadatazz Dont know if Echo1 has done some upgrades on the gearbox but you should downgrade the spring or otherwise something in the gearbox is going to break over time.

[longhairedndnsavage1]

@SuperFinnish -- i've had about a dozen airsofts the only ones that didn't break within the first year were a CA DMR-m-16($350), and all the ones i took apart new and replaced the plastic bushings with metal ones and properly shimmed. i was shocked how many airsofts are shimmed wrong from factory.

[hokage64th]

Istarted loving soviet guns cuz of the AK but i use M933 A&K. the AK really a great gun but some ppl dont like it cuz of terrorist shit.

[DKtrecour]

I dont think ASGI have the space to do a good shooting test, they only have this little yard, so they would not be able to test the gun properly.

[pimpinrocky]

cant say he's lying, the gun is a monster! im sorry but every game i play i ALWAYS win with the AK47

[Naishell1]

hahahahahah dude helarieos bloopers xD

[Boeing727223]

Having a real AKM this this looks pretty much like it

[Boeing727223]

What is it 20 years in the big house for painting that stupid orange muzzle?

[heath72632]

is it lipo ready bc the website does

[Heheh274]

@heath72632 no. That's what they want you to know. Anyways this is just another rebrand of the cyma red star AK.

[heath72632]

@Heheh274 no i mean the website says its lipo ready

[Heheh274]

@heath72632 dont trust the website.

[Priziner]

@Heheh274 It IS lipo ready, dumbass, this is a crazy gun. It has a 400 fps spring and a high-torque motor.

[Heheh274]

@Priziner Can it shoot 6,000 bbs continuously at 20+ rps and not have any wear and tear? I didn't think so

[Priziner]

@Heheh274 Yeah, it actually can. Version 3 Gearbox, pre-upgraded, is a great example. 0:34 to 0:42 for instance, Tim said it himself. I need someone else to tell this fool the truth.

youtubedotcom/watch?v=AaIPoDjQ­uTk

[Heheh274]

@Priziner Tim is saying what you want to hear. He is saying what Echo 1 is saying on their website. It is a mere sales ploy. Look at VFC. They claim their guns are lipo ready but they aren't. The mech shell is too thin.

[Heheh274]

@Priziner pre upgraded with what? $40 gear set? That's not going to help.

[trojanfan525]

@Heheh274 Tim has been trustworth so far so i see no reason to doubt him now...I have this gun and hands down one of the best guns i have ever had. And im playing favorites with this gun cuz i am a huge fan of Ak style weapon systems. everything tim said is what the gun does.

[Heheh274]

@trojanfan525 try getting a VFC. They make great AKs.

[trojanfan525]

@Heheh274 Thats wat i hear but i need to wait for my next paycheck till then lol

[ironmaidenkid455]

no but neither can any gun

[Heheh274]

@ironmaidenkid455 there are guns that can do that, but they are usually custom made.

[SuperFinnish]

@Priziner This is just basic cyma cm048m which echo 1 slapped in their box and give you a warranty.

[someguywhopwn]

i think this gun blew tim's mind when he was doing the review.

[Cyrax5897]

im deciding whether 2 get this or the red star covert.I kno theyre somewat the same,but i just want 2 kno.Would any1 recommend this or the covert?

[Naishell1]

pause at 6 :D

[CR9soccerdude]

Would u say this is better than th CYMA cm046? som1 told me this was better but im not so sure? PLZ RESPOND

[SuperFinnish]

@CR9soccerdude this and the cm048 ak-74 are newer, have steel bodies and dont have the blowback that cm046 has, but you need to change the spring on the cyma cm048&cm048m, dont know if the echo1 downgraded the spring.

[EliteBeast4]

Can you mount a scope on it? If so, how? Someone please respond, My birthday is in a couple days and I'm deciding what gun to get.

[majorSH0CK]

@EliteBeast4 dont get an ak if you want your gun to have a scope

[EliteBeast4]

@majorSH0CK All i asked was if it was possible to attach a scope or if i had to buy rails.

[SuperFinnish]

@EliteBeast4 its possible, you just need to buy ak style rail or then pso/posp scope.

[MroziuNS]

CM.048M copy...

[SuperFinnish]

@MroziuNS not copy, that is cyma cm048m.

[imadamnman]

@SuperFinnish echo 1 actually

[SuperFinnish]

@imadamnman its cyma cm048m rebranded by echo 1, so yes its basicly echo 1.

but the original manufacturer was cyma.

[SMAKLAKADINGDONG]

I ment gun.

[SMAKLAKADINGDONG]

God,last week i was going to buy this guy on a friday,and it went of of stock THAT day. Mannnnnn.. i really wanted to get it too.

[BigSlimJimmy]

@SMAKLAKADINGDONG Airsoft GI and trinity airsoft have it

[airsoftcollecter888]

Im probably really annoying but should I get the G4-A3 or the Stag arms stag-15 a1 full metal

[Utamivz808]

An airsoft gun of such quality for this price?! I should put some thinking into what gun Imma buy lol.

[yewtubeful]

ok, now they should make some newer AK (74, 107..) CO2 RAM models for europe.

[Allante715]

30 day warranty? Jesus what a joke. Made in China?

[Heheh274]

made in US

[Allante715]

@Heheh274

Where did you find that out?

[Heheh274]

auctually lol. Both. Improved in US, base gun built in China. But the red star is auctually an ECHO 1 gun that is not a rebrand. They built this themselves just like their RPK.

[msantiana]

if i wanted to buy another battery, what would be the best voltage for this gun?

[msantiana]

i charged the battery by the amount of hours it said to, but it still shoots like its on low battery, why, somebody please help

[purplecurtisimo]

FUCK in canada, we pay 210 dollars for a fucking front set.

[AnAwesomeUsername1]

I have this same gun and it is amazing, one of the best AK47's out there. I would reccomend this to anyone.

[LILFOXRACER]

rate of fire?

[spawnoftheKing]

@LILFOXRACER 405 out of the box is what I saw on the site. He said 440ish though

[89GrimDeath]

he asked for rate of fire not FPS

[BigSlimJimmy]

Hey AirsoftGI, do a longer review with a firing test plz...

[4u666death]

@BigSlimJimmy I Agree A Longer Firing Test Would Be Better

[AirsoftAholic68]

Is that full metal and real wood?

[BigSlimJimmy]

nvr mind, the cyma looks like it would break and is laking a warranty and starter magazine

[jwg101x]

i have a cyma cmo42. it's an amazing gun. i have a kwa sr12 and the cyma's performance with a jbu 6.03 is close to my kwa's. great gun, i've beat the hell out of it and it's still running perfectly.

[monkeysniper47]

what should i get this or the minigun or both

[BigSlimJimmy]

CM048 AKM or Echo 1 Red Star? i Nedd to know cause the Cyma is $30 cheaper

[exdeeer]

They are the same gun. The echo1 is a rebrand of it, and there's slight quality control.

[paintballlpplayer45]

ive held this gun and it feels really good. if i were to get an ak, it'd be this gun.

[a7xfan1230]

Question to Airsoft GI:

what would be the best 9.6 or 8.4 battery

that you would recommend for that gun?

[TH3SH4]

quality. the cyma is kind of a peice of shit. the echo 1 would be a lot better bc its full metal cyma is plastic

[HAMHOTPOT]

There the same thing smart one.
