REVIEW: Echo 1 Airsoft M4 RIS

[legofreak2012]

do you think this would be a good starter gun and just upgrade it over time?

[LeagueStudios]

plastic rail gaurds cant be heat resistant plastic melts in extreme heat

[mezlay2]

@LeagueStudios this aint a real gun, it cant overheat

[LeagueStudios]

plastic rail gaurds cant be heat resistant plastic melts in extreme

[TheSchwayze]

metal shaft!

[TheEvilAllan]

@metallicaman321sly Yes you can, but you need to take off the RIS completely and put on a regular handgaurd

[0318kent]

I just want the external parts of that gun cuz I need the ris and the flip up sight but I'm pretty sure the echo 1 internals r piece of shit

[BigBootyEntertainmen]

could i install a metal upper/lower receiver in this?

[BlackOpsAirsoftEC]

Is the orange tip removable?  If so is it 14ccw?

[IMsuperDUPERable]

@BlackOpsAirsoftEC go to evike.com and find it it will tell u evreything and yes it is a 14mm ccw.

[yytfreestyler10]

okay..i have a noob question...wat does that box do?

[deathcube35]

@yytfreestyler10

That's where the battery is stored. It will apparently not fit inside the handguard.

[yytfreestyler10]

@deathcube35 and that thing is worth like hella!..isnt that thing also a light?

[deathcube35]

@yytfreestyler10

The battery storage is just a dummy AN/PEQ-2. It's not real.

[AbleSquadSniper]

They aren't short and long range sights. Believe it or not, they are day and night sights. The small hole is for night time, as your pupil expands at night.

[r6v2man]

@AbleSquadSniper wow, that is completely incorrect you ignorant fool. I have never once heard that, in fact that sounds like one of the most retarded things i have heard. There is a smaller aperture for a reason, for more of an accurate sight picture, and less range of movement by your sight

[AbleSquadSniper]

@r6v2man Really? Look it up, asshole. I have actually met many SEALs and Marines, and have actually talked about this.

[r6v2man]

@AbleSquadSniper look it up, just because the internet says it doesnt make it true. Look up the manufacturer specs, look up the original patents on that type of sight, and what it was first intended to be used for. A hole

[wolf1562]

Im looking at getting this gun but I'm also looking at the echo 1 stag-15 m8a4. Putting a handle on the front of the gun does it take a lot of pressure to pull the ring back cause i dont want to be in the middle of a game and the r.i.s fall off with my peq box

[sunnyboyD1]

I have this gun and it is pretty good. I upgraded it with a red dot sight, front grip, laser and I put a 9.6 volt battery in it.

[Orbits20Productions]

Did your PEQ box come on the side or the bottom? Mine came on the bottom and it didn't come with a tool to remove it.

[animator995]

Anyone else Dont like that buttsctock? magpul Ctr stock or Sopmod stock ftw :D

[supportourtroops2010]

dont say ris its r.i.s

[skillage18]

i have a custom made battery. it fits perfectly around the hole barrel on the ics m4 fore grip do u think it will fit in this fore grip?

[CBAcoltkid]

Not long range and short range iron sights. They are night and day sights to go with the dialation difference in your pupils between when its darker or when its lighter. Nice try though.

[r6v2man]

@CBAcoltkid You are retarded to the extreme

[oIBLu3]

should i get a red dot sight for this gun? or keep it stock

[coltonsin64]

@oIBLu3 I would recommend a red dot, or some kind of electronic aiming sight, iron sight's suck.

[johngol10]

@coltonsin64 Tell that to the generations of troops without electronic sights...

[REAPER3382]

i have a metal shaft.

[woyvoy123]

can you use a 7.2v battery?

respond in a privite message plz

[80dboy1]

funny i got this rifle for 234 new and it was a metal upper and lower reciver. ALSO it is easier MUCH MUCH easier to disconnect if you fish the cable from your rifle through the hole not the battery cable through the hole. and this is a GREAT rifle dont let anyone tell you different easy to clean and upgrade as he said. great review

[Legionnaire8888]

I thought this Stag-15 came with a LE type stock instead of the regular moving stock?

[0mgwtfbbq21]

@Legionnaire8888 whats the difference between LE and and the other stock?

[Legionnaire8888]

@0mgwtfbbq21 Well, the LE stock is the more modern type adjusting stock while this model stock is found on older models of the M4.

[coltonsin64]

@0mgwtfbbq21 The LE stock is thinner and is less comfortable on your cheek, unlike the other stock, which is called a crane stock.

[f18esuperhornet13]

Great review man!

[jdasilva11794]

Can you take the front sight off of is it molded onto the barrel?

[taterfrickintot]

@jdasilva11794 you can theres three pins and an allen screw holding it on. i removed my fron sight on my echo 1 m16 to put on an RDS

[techdeckgeek]

Man I bought this gun and let me tell you

One thing DONT buy it the first day I got it charging handle broke fuse blew out. Waste of money

[wetbirdcrap]

do you know if its possible to swap the reciever with a g&g zombie killer reciever?

[crowdsurfers]

I have six positions with a metal shaft 

[thenerd1000]

hey did the original m733 stock come with that gun or not?

[MrDucks962]

is this gun two tone, because the plastic body looks like grey and everything else looks black

[sodafdublebareL]

IMO, no plastic is good plastic.

[hockeykid30b]

check out the newly updated echo1usa m4commando on my channel. is yours all metal. just wondering. HEY WE HAVE THE SAME GUN :D

[sgtstefan]

Wow neighbor fail.. SHOOT ME!

[orchimaru123]

I LOVE THIS GUN i bought it and i was suprised i added a echo 1 m203 ris utg sling eotech and for internals i did a systema motor a new spring and a new piston and cant remember the rest oh and i got a metal body

[acon127]

it made of nylon fiber plasic witch is some really high quality plasic so it wont brake soon so of all you ppl that say it cheap plastic SHUT UP!

[Medivac12]

hey is it good quality plastic

[0mgwtfbbq21]

i hate the fact that the aegs that have a ris system either have 2 have that ugly looking peq box the full stock which IMO looks ugly and same thing with the crane stock (im talking bout m4 mostly) but on offense its a nice gun

[codeman3099]

this a good gun. i own one, but i upgraded mine with a free float rail system and a vertical grip.

[tenaciousdfane]

I have the colt version of the M4 and it is made of better materials than the echo 1 version external and internal.

[superstreetking95]

the m4 ris problem is at the delta ring if you got a delta ring tool or a wrench it will be easy fix

[trp11078]

are you in law enforcement or military?

[billiambarnett]

fyi, ur link in the description doesn't work.

[airsoftfreak19375]

what is the blow tube looking thingy for?

[LinkedMooMan117117]

where can i get an Echo 1 M4 with both flip sights (front and rear)?

[foshizelistic]

Can u put the battery box on the bottom??

[SychoAirsoftSquad]

ofc you fucking can you idiot

[TheShady50]

thats just like mine

[Buildpro10]

hey u need 2 do a revew on the aftermath mp5j brumox. if the m4 shoots 370 fps than the aftermath is the better buy bc it has a max fps of 450 at full auto and 470 at semi and it comes wt a forgrip, speedloader, and strap for a toatal price of 96 bucks. tho i do love the echo 1 m4 i think the aftermathis a over all best gun.

[spyderalltheway]

its funny how misinformed you are

[PrivateTomb]

lol 1, the price is cheap so the gun will be and 2, having 450 fps is not really reasonable because you wont be able to play at most fields, and it's really not necessary. It just means the gun will break sooner.

[jayjaykewl727]

aftermath sucks

[maaachinima]

Aftermath is fail

[FlipSnipeZ]

Thank you for your service in the USAF!

[foxbrosedu]

FPS??????????????????

[celuler22]

@foxbrosedu feet per sec

[iloveairsoft99]

Echo 1 M4A1 (Stag-15 Carbine) is only $155 with free shipping at RicksAirsoftArmory(dot)com

[rphaider123]

atleast my AGM doesnt look that plasticky. if youre thinking of buying this just buy the AGM it waaaay better

[mindthreat44]

AGM?!?! AGM is absolutely the worst shit I have ever worked on. I down graded a spring in an AGM and the gearbox still broke! You can get a G&G combat machine with an RIS for $175 ready to rock and roll at any field

[dog5244]

the buttstock looks like the one on my m4

[GoDawgsPT12]

what 9.6v batt do u have for the peq box

[kingdickie117lord]

8 100 cap mags come with it?!

[warhead1122]

dose box come with gun

[seansports9jones]

either way a great review please please make more

[seansports9jones]

do you have a ocd problem or are you just obsessed

[MrNickl7878]

where did u get the light?

[mrnickels94]

What do you do in the Air Force.

[bookmanCS]

haha i just read the gigantic info box. Great review and i love Echo 1 btw so good to hear some representing.

[thomasbutler106]

no EA stands for EA sports,,,,,its in the game.... duh ......dipshit

[Fallout3Wastelander]

@thomasbutler106--Don't be a jackass.

[gman1938784654687]

ok, just to check... EA stands for echo 1 airsoft?

[willman1661]

i think the peq looks kinda bulky, also it would make it hArd to grip without the foregrip. they should make a peq that looks like a m203, that would be boss

[MonkeySharingan]

Thats idiotic.

Why would you have a laser box thing (lol) as a grenade launcher? Just better off with a grenade launcher with a regular red laser.

[willman1661]

well i mean like, have a replica m203 to house the battery, how the peq boxes house it, cuz if u dont have any other grips theres a sharp edge on the peq that could b uncomfortable

[rphaider123]

its a PEQ box dumbass. its used to install a bigger battery

[Houndm203]

With the peq on the side can you still put a m203 on the bottom?

[TH3SH4]

yes

[09Cyclone]

yes

[Tredfsg]

omg i know wats on the mofo gun but how does it work IS IT GOOD OR BAD!!!! THATS WAT A REVIEW IS!!!

[jackle223344]

Last part is hilarious! shoot it... shoot me!

[scamperscamper1]

Echo 1, JG, KART and JLS (?)all the same manufacturerssss, Echo 1 is better about checking the guns for defects though.

[w55ks]

shoot it!

shoot me!

haha

[ZattMach]

my battery didn't come on the side... can i get it there somehow? also the place to ajust the hop up the guard broke..

[DECICIVETOAST]

well to take move the peq box use some pliers or something to turn the little bushing on the right side of the thing then

move to desired rail and tighten

[thriftyh4xx]

Nice review, and thanks for the service to our country.

[tittietonkauckinutah]

shoot me

[GoEsByThEkR3wKiD]

echo 1 is a branch of jg, like an american manufacture headed by the same people. Only difference Jg straight from china echo 1 has a factory here.

[animefeak]

No they are not. In fact Echo 1 sent a letter to all thise airsoft supplies who claim that JG and Echo 1 is the same will be sued by Echo 1.

[willman1661]

yea i saw that letter but it is true that echo1 does rebrand some guns from jg and other companies

[airsoftreview]

Please check the ECHO 1 AFTERMATH review too!

[airsoftreview]

no the battery will not fit in the handguard

[airsoftreview]

Yes you do and yes it does

[darkerik411]

echo 1 is an american company???

[dmc1479]

how can u make the m4 burst 3or4 shots?

[666Vertigo]

You can install a Mosfet, but the best way is trigger control.

[KINXtheELITE]

echo 1 is a re manufacturer company of JG i believe so not true.

[DECICIVETOAST]

i love this thing, just got it

fires smooth and quick

great primary gun

[Thek213]

Haha, 257 dollars... and one cent.

At least it's one less penny to worry about.

[ssbudgeg]

hey can you remove the foregrip and put the battery inside the foregrip like the m4a1...i dont really like the battery box

[Christianmarquez]

Yea lol, battery boxes are really ugly xD. But if it will allow me to put a freakin huge battery that will last all day that sure why not lol

[geestthebeast]

no their is vertually no room. you would have to get a battery like the nunchuck stick type from intilect for that to work, even with that battery it would be really hard to put it in. plus to remove and put it in you'd have to carry a screwdriver or allen wrench.

[splashysiren]

nice vid. lots of details

[m14lover1]

i have aeg, and full metal. nice tho

[YaMom0]

are the front iron sights removable?

[m14lover1]

yes, mine is aeg,and shoots 550 fps, but it is removable. mine is wierd and came with an m16 hold with sights.

[storminghellsgates]

yeah i have this gun... about everything is customizable

[airsoftbuddy24]

also can you remove the front sight and how?

[airsoftbuddy24]

if i get a stick type battery could i put it inside the gun so i dont have to use a peq2 box?

[superchowhownd3]

Will a G36 double C magazine work on an M4?

[SexyParty154]

No, only M4 and M16 mags will work in an M4

[clarkboy411]

no it will not

[KiLLERCLAYMORE]

its called a buffer tube.

[YaMom0]

what weight of bb is best for this gun?

[PwndAirsoft72]

it depends on the gun

[storminghellsgates]

.20 mm or up dont use .12 it will mess up the gun.

!AND MAKE SURE U DONT USE CROSSMAN .20 GRAMs!! horrible kind... find a local Airsoft/paintball store and get a brand like "airsoft elite, air bull" stuff like that. (i recomend .23 grams.

[c2thedub14]

Echo 1 is NOT a manufacturer. they buy Asian guns (JG, CYMA, DBOYS, AGM, etc.) and make sure they work, stamp them, and ship them out with a warranty. they dont add anything to the gun, at all. just buy the oem

[COD4Commander]

Actually Echo1 adds a lower power spring so the gun lasts longer

[c2thedub14]

no they dont, they just take a china gun, slap their name on it, and ship it out with a short warranty. the only exception is the MP5 master edition, as it comes with 2 GB's.

[superasian619]

@c2thedub14 On that note, this looks like the S-system M4a1 from JG i just bought....

[c2thedub14]

@superasian619 except this isnt an S-System. the rail kits are completely different. its just a M4 RIS.

[RSC757]

mine came with the battery box on the bottom. How would i move it to the right rail?

[666Vertigo]

... Wow, really?

Take it off and move it to the right rail?

[YaMom0]

where can i buy and how much??? is it worth it

[Softairguy]

echo 1 is a rebrand of jg

[silentkill253]

not just jg lol

[EnchantedWalnut]

False. Echo1 and JG are rebrands of TM and CA.

[Terinigan]

Rebranded TM and CA's? No fucking way! Clones of TM and CA's? Yes!

[EnchantedWalnut]

Yeah youre right but theyre pretty much the same thing.

[Terinigan]

Well, apart from the materials used, electronics used and durability.. yeah..

[EnchantedWalnut]

SILENCE ILL KILL YOU

[SCARairsoftTEAM]

actually he is correct, echo 1 buys classic army gearboxes from used classic army guns that are company defects due to cosmetic details

[c2thedub14]

uhm... no. if they do, why do the Gears say JG and XYT, and not CA or Classic Army? and why are they decently built?

[jokerdude49]

i have a m4 carbine nice 1

[MasterChiefxyba]

anyone know that the flashider that screw in it is clockwise or counter-clockwise?

[slipknotfreek2006]

counter clock wise threading so you turn clockwise to remove and counter clockwise to fasten. The orange tip "might" also be glued so your going to need alot of elbow grease. Be carefull you might damage the gun because its hard to remove

[gsumd]

this gun kicks buttstock

[Airsoft1R1Us]

Great video got this gun kicks butt. And I noticed that u put ur military tatical grip on it with the flashlight and I have one as well. My dad gave well sell his to me and I love it.

[xxnooshbagxx]

echo isnt american they simply rebrand japanese/chinese clones... sorry to burst your bubble

[1992pattrow]

Ya the make clones of the Japanese guns because they suck dick. Tokyo Mauri sucks! JG, Classic Army, Echo 1, there much better

[xxnooshbagxx]

do you understsnd rebrand!? they are the same exact guns as the japanese guns echo just outs there logo on them and adds a new spring and bushings. And airsoft ould not be what it is today without tokyo marui...before you talk bout airsoft you should know what your talking about. i own an echo but you should know the facts before you get into an arguement about something you kow nothing about

[1992pattrow]

I do know what I am talking about. I have A LOT of airsoft guns and all are very good. I know for a fact that Tokyo Marui makes shitty guns. I bought one of there P90s and it was the worst I ever had. I also had one of there MP5s and it was also shit. I have the Echo1 P90 and it is one of my favorite guns that I own.  My best gun is my Classic Army M4 with grenade launcher.

[xxnooshbagxx]

just to let you know i win!!!!! hahaha you suck every one backed up me...so like i said dont talk about arisfot unless you know what your talking about because obviously you dont..you should just stop replying to these commetns. YOurfault th eTM broke and echo are rbrands just to prove you wrong again. You dont take care of your guns thats why thry brake.... i HAd an mp5 for 2 years and it worked perfectly over 100.00 rounds through it. classic doenst have great internals inly external

[waffelcone]

Guay Guay (G&G)

[TheGreat213]

I'm sorry but you are wrong. These Chinese guns have a lower quality control system and lower quality parts than the TMs. They have higher FPS but that's only part of what will make them break down faster than Tokyo Maruis.

[1992pattrow]

Well tell that to my broken TM P90 that cost me $200. They make guns that are to expensive for there quality. My Classic Army M4 is 3 years old and works better than my Jing Gong AK47. My Echo1 P90 is a good gun, much better than the TM, and my ICS AK74 is a really nice gun too. If TM guns were cheaper I would say that they are ok but they are not worth the price.

[TheGreat213]

How did your TM break? That is surprising because my TMs have never failed on me unless I did something wrong like installing parts correctly or shooting them for too long. Yes I think they are not worth the price but I still think they are better than Chinese LPEGs.(A&K, JG, E1, CYMA, anything below $200 etc.)

[1992pattrow]

I hate CYMA guns. I bought one of there AK47s and liked it for the 2 months it worked. I think that one of the gears in the P90 sounds like it shredded because when you pull the trigger it sounds like a car with a failed transition just a grinding sound.

[TheGreat213]

I guess you have stripped gears or piston. Most likely caused by firing too long.

[DallasGremlin]

Shoot it!!!!!! Shoot me!!!!!! lol funny ending to a great airsoft review thanks man

[DeAthZReApEr760]

So is the whole gun metal?

Do you know where I can buy one thats cheap? Maybe for like around 70-90 bucks?

[guitarguy731]

you can get it for $109 at airsplat

[airsoftowns233]

do not buy from airsplat there guns ushually come broken and they have horrible customer service

[guitarguy731]

I already bought an AGM MP001 and it was fine (except the common problem)

[Ibanezplayerrr]

is this the same thing as that JG M4 RIS from airsplat? the 120$ 6619?

[BeastlyBassist]

Not exactly. Echo 1 takes JG guns (from what I've heard), upgrades the internals, checks all the wires and rebrands it to their brand.

I'd much rather have an Echo 1 over JG, I've heard the JG internals can be iffy.

[xOCPx]

so you only paid 75 dollars?????????

[Insidious1]

Wouldn't it be easier to tell what ISN'T metal? lol

[JohnBruce32]

thats a really cool gun, but i think the battery box makes it look dumb, no offense

[iPhoneTuts]

i think it makes it look cool but i guess thats just a matter of opinion

[JohnBruce32]

yea, thats your own opinion, i was just stating mine... but thats cool

[abluefuzz]

has anyone ever told you that you should do radio and tv voice thingys. you sound alot like 1

[dp665]

what is the range on this for decent accurate fire

[MolonLabe84]

100-150 feet i believe, for most AEGs

[MoogleXMaple]

Approxiamately how much does the gun weigh with the high-cap mag and the PEQ box with the battery in it?

[phamm95]

i agree wit screamoscoat.awsome review

[CEWProductions12]

good review, lol carry handle enthusiasts

[keckman5]

thats me :) i love the carry handle mounted scopes
