Airsoft GI - PSA Beware of Echo 1 Fakes!

[ovandolah14]

Doesn't apply for evike as well?

[TheDarkSideOfJesus]

its more like they will send u a jg but it is the same thing anyway just doesnt say echo1

[greg0409]

OMG I HAVE THAT GUN IN THE VIDEO!!!!!!!!!! WOOT

[12retamoza]

pause at 2:39

[TheSympathize]

hobbytron does this to you

[xXTonyToxiSaurXx]

7 people bought fakes LOL

[DeliciousTasteTV]

Gah! I misread "Echo 1 Fakes" for "Echo 1 Flakes." Reason being is that my Echo 1 P90's gearbox is flaking apart for some strange reason...

[ThunderBo15]

@chris123456999: by the way, the company is called "Echo1USA" it's American made. They may rebrand guns, but their still in America

[Laz3rT3ch]

@ThunderBo15 Company based in America, made in China.

[ThunderBo15]

@AIRSOFTGIdotcom hey I recently got the "JG MK36 with crane stock" from you guys, but when I looked at the back of the gun it has an "Echo1" stamp engraved on it? It came in a golden eagle (JG) box and everything but this is completely throwing me off, I it echo1?

[TwinklesPussMaster61]

@ThunderBo15 The two companies sometimes sell the same products but Echo 1 dose modify the internals to make them last longer... JG just has some incredibly strong gears but everything else is not that strong

[TheSympathize]

@ThunderBo15 it is probably because Echo 1 and JG usually use the same manufacturing plants to create their guns, and at times, Echo 1 will actually rebrand JG guns as a part of Echo1 (but they will of course, interchange some parts and go through a three point inspection, so that the shitty JG guns meet Echo1 standards).

[ThunderBo15]

@TheSympathize Well I don't really know how that would work, JG is in asia and Echo1 is in america. But I know how the whole system works, all echo1 does is rebrand guns. They really don't change that many parts in the gun, sometimes none at all, then they test it a little more rigorously than JG does and slap a warranty on it. So in essence a JG IS an Echo1, and so are all the other brands they rebrand. Not that for most airsofters it's not worth it but for many techs it isn't worth the money

[ThunderBo15]

@TheSympathize (Post 2) I've actually heard that Echo1 literally just contacts JG(or whatever company) and tells them what parts they want in it, then once they get here they go on with their buisness to ensure the guns aren't faulty and ready for customers. To the original point, I believe ASGI just has it listed on their site incorrectly or maybe I got a fluke lol, but I managed to sell it anyways so it's not like it matters all that much

[chairsofter1911]

@ThunderBo15 echo 1 guns come from the same factories where China made AEG's are made. People call it "rebranding." Its not rebranding; its just that Echo 1 makes the guns in the same China factory.

[8azile8]

Smells Like Bullshit. Oh wait thats just the smell of airsoft megastore...

[SEALboy98]

my echo1 MK5A5 (MP5) that i bought from you doesnt show up on their website. but i know it is echo1 because it's JP, tons of logos, came with warranty card, and has amazing quality that you just don't get from other brands. P.S. echo1 is american, stop saying that the 'country of origin' is china cuz i buy my guns american, i buy my water balloons from china (if theyres no american)

[chris123456999]

@SEALboy98 echo1 is ok but its not the best kwa is really good and yes it is chinese

[TwinklesPussMaster61]

@chris123456999 Are you referring to Echo 1 as the Chinese guns? Because KWA's guns are built in Taiwan.

[chris123456999]

@TwinklesPussMaster61 no iwas saying echo1 is chinese kwa is Taiwan

[maaachinima]

@chris123456999 ITs taiwanese

[chris123456999]

@maaachinima i know i was saying that echo1 is chinese

[maaachinima]

@chris123456999 OHHHHHHH gotcha

[chris123456999]

@maaachinima yeah sorry i dont have the best grammar or whatever

[Deathaleo31]

2:38 GET THE FINGER!

[DeathShepardAirsoft]

LOL keep pressing 7

[hydrolicsandwich]

7 people found out there gun is fake.

[XxzLiLxXxDeViLzxX]

@hydrolicsandwich lol

[BiGHARYSCOTSMiN]

Trololo

[Th3r4piST]

Thumbs up for AirsoftGI not jacking people off! :D

[ryu835]

is shorty usa a good website

[chubbs636]

@ryu835 no, nor is airsplat

[Adman234videos]

@chubbs636 and @ryu835

Shorty is a great retailer. I don't know what you are smoking.......

Just steer clear of Airsoft Megastore and Airsplat.

Good retailers are ASGI, Evike, Airsoft Atlanta, Shorty, Ehobby, and Red Wolf.

There are a few others, but be careful.

[SEALboy98]

@Adman234videos but ASGI is the best, with deals and reliability and all other criteria, so why have the other sites?

[Adman234videos]

@SEALboy98 GI doesn't have the best selection of internal parts. And their prices are higher than most other retailers. But you are basically guaranteed quality and warranty with them.

[Gannon191]

@Adman234videos They also don't have many guns. Their pistol selection: M1911 M1911 M1911 M1911 M1911 M9 M1911 M1911 Deagle M1911 M1911 M1911

[Mikemurda18]

I ordered an echo 1 from Airsoft Gi .. Am i suppose to get Echo 1s warranty in the box?

[chubbs636]

@Mikemurda18 contact airsoftgi

[coolguybob4]

KEEP IT REAL

[aznboi992]

Cloning a cloned clone? Clone-ception!1

[goldenguns129]

lol

[SinsChannel]

did you break your neck at 2:20

[philphil7]

2:40 LOL

[AndersonAirsoftTeam]

hey tim is the echo 1 stag 15 RC a good gun for starters?

[Schultz98]

so basically its people buying the echo 1 guns before echo 1 rebranded them?

[triggrhappywardog217]

Why Tim why? 2:36

[Figglepop24]

I would love to work there

[iMuTiLaTe]

I should have bought my scar echo1 from airsoft g.i. instead of evike.com it better be legit.

[shadower1928]

so know the companies who are copying echo-1's now know what they have to do to make it harder to tell if its fake.

[rjohnston96]

lol fliped us off

[j3fr135]

keep repeating 1:52

[triggrhappywardog217]

@j3fr135 LOL

[TunaSharkey]

I bought an echo1 mp28 sniper from you guys yesterday, and nothing came in the box as far as warranty. What should I do?

[TaskForce502]

i got my from an athorized echo1 dealer. i spelled it wronng dangit!

[mcwillierosado]

ahahahhahaha i thought you did something sexual lmao hahahhahahhahaa

[lotrhalo]

" I thought you did... something... sexual".

Maaan, I laughed so hard.

You guys are awesome!

[DeadMetalAirsoft]

keep clicking this and it sounds like tim is having an orgasm 2:20

[Legionnaire8888]

Echo1USA Ftw!

[sora4502]

HAHA LOL U FLIPPED US OFF XD!!!!

[ninjaman00]

Why would anyone want to copy Echo 1? I mean, if you're going to commit fraud, at least do it with a good brand like G&G or KWA

[ARTerialBleed]

@ninjaman00 because they sell.

[ALPHA1GMsnipeF13]

"oh, i thought u did something sexual"

HAHAHAHAH LMAO LMAO LMAO, HAHA

[folkloricjungle]

airsoftgi ftw :D

[dsfasfasfasfasf]

what does rebrand mean anyway

[rhinogek]

I have an echo 1 and I went to check if it was real and its real

[megapandabear06]

what about dboys and other brands and are you honest

[0mgwtfbbq21]

wait so isnt echo 1 like a chinese clone like jg but they upgrade the internals a lil and change th trademarks?

[Tendrop711]

@0mgwtfbbq21 Yes, also include a nice battery

[SuperFinnish]

@0mgwtfbbq21 Nope, Echo1 just adds warranty and some lame ass trademarks.

[Allairborne]

Ive bought guns that i get charged Classic Army Price, and and bought an Out Of Date JG, to bad it was a Christmas present that I got for a friend and Couldnt Review. Never bought from them again.

[jclar8883343]

maby those guns r made by echo1 but they dont want ppl 2 know their guns r chinese guns so they say they r fakes

[incoming6613]

I got a jg 

[199FOE]

Is Kapowwe a trustable site?

[AllOutNoobHater]

@199FOE no cause their prices are higher than asgi's and asgi's has better coupon deals. this is a very off topic question and shouldnt be asked. go compare sites and you'll see that asgi is better.

[199FOE]

@AllOutNoobHater Off topic question? What are we on a forum now? We can talk about whatever the hell we want on youtube.........

[sergentc12]

but echo1 doesent make guns they just rebrand stuff

[airsoftplayer3241997]

Yeah airsplat trys to pass off there "ECHO 1s" as JGs.

[PossessedDonutz]

airsplat does this to you.

[FloWxGravity]

@PossessedDonutz NO! Airsplat is RELIABLE and Certified



[zayne1998]

@FloWxGravity  and i suppose chewing on glass is safe as well?

[Naishell1]

ahahahahahaha finger

[NWLsardine015]

are u freakin serious? echo 1 is the faker!!

[TheAirsoftCincinnati]

rofl the middle finger part made me laugh soooo hard rofl!!

[SkateClean2]

haha nothing like burps and immaturity, including the occasional sex poses. Thats how normal friends should behave, and thats how I behave with my friends as well.

Hardcore.

[ekstaasikontiainen]

Love the bloopers.

[Nman155]

Echo 1 is way more legit than jg or cyma they quality check their guns and actually some of their guns are assembled in America.

[Bomby77]

haha AirSplat did this to me. I thought I was buying an Echo1 but I just got a regular JG

[G36cGunner]

@Bomby77 Same, i did that with Airsoftsuperstore or megastore, i dont remmember, but i thought it was E-1 416, it was a JG 416, its horrible. Anyway. Evike/ASGI.COM FTW~!

[VeiltheOutcast]

I thought you were doing something...like...sexual

[CoDmanzero]

people please watch the asgi interview with the echo1 guy, it clears this rebrand shit everyone's fucking around with

[HAMHOTPOT]

echo 1 rebrands...

[BurningKILLJOY]

you dont like rebrands echo 1 takes the gun puts better internals then sells them and you dont like that

[callmewooben]

wow ur head did a weird slant at 2:20

[7IceCloud7]

@callmewooben roflmfao

[TheRipePunani]

@callmewooben Just don't watch Redwolf Airsoft videos. Arclight (the host) always does some kind of weird head slant/wobble when he talks. It's so hard not to notice.

[LtJuno]

Lol we got the middle finger ahahah.

[CoDmanzero]

guys should i buy the echo m8a4 stag over the agm m4 cqb? i gotta know pls.

[24infrared]

definately the echo 1 m8a4 it has a higher fps and echo 1 is a more reliable company

[masterjames0o7]

not the cqb i have it its bag buy the m8a4

[jwg101x]

second what 24indared said, echo 1s are much better than agms. they bridge the gap in between low quality guns like agms or wells and high quality guns like g&gs or kwas

[SuperFinnish]

@jwg101x echo 1 rebrands mostly jg and cyma, which are better than well or agm.

[HAMHOTPOT]

It's kinda funny that echo 1 dosent even MAKE guns..

[pillzownsu]

This is why I personally don't like echo 1's.

[fafa1248]

like echo 1s, dislike bad companies -.-

[fafa1248]

wtf r u talking about??????

[Skat3xxAndrex]

and if the fakers see this video and start producing aegs qith taht 3 things?-.-

[Grenadier1939]

2:39 LOL

[socalboysairsoft]

ok, echo1 makes HIGH quality guns and even tim said at 0:34 and they are a very good company.

[SaltyNub]

2:36 omg so funny!!!!!!!

[0zzy1995]

wow sounds liike Cool Stuff by L&M in pittsburgh lol. i have no proof of this though

[berserkergang24]

whys it called echo1usa when its made in china?

[nthnkilgore]

They rebrand Chinese manufacturers.

[KingofAfghans]

that everything

[TripleThreatAirsoft]

Damn, i got scammed.

[ARX7ARBALESTZ7]

i bought a echo 1 awhile ago, nothing but J.G. internal parts and a no name motor. not even a j.g. motor

[martinairsoft123]

my brother bought a echo 1 from our local store they told him its a echo 1 but its a JG. he bought it for $155 and it only cost the company $115

[godzilla96744]

Echo 1 does make minor upgrades like shimming, but its not enough of a difference that it should be your deciding factor. Only occasionally do they sell something special, usually some custom combination of other guns. That's really the only time Echo 1 is worth buying.

[marinesguy106]

You dont work for Echo 1, so dont preach about stuff you do not know.

[godzilla96744]

Who is to say I don't know this stuff? Its true, Echo 1 takes Chinese clones, makes small upgrades (sometimes none at all) puts their name on them and raises the price.

[metsnygiants]

100th rating... 5 stars

[predaconmatrix]

woot go Tim n Andrew

[Rokko8652]

Echo 1 doesnt just take JG's guns and put labels on them. They upgrade the internals and are generally more reliable.

[LegitAirsoftReviews]

so if people are copying echo 1's guns, which are rebrands of other clones, which are clones of tokyo marui, wouldnt they be cloning a cloned clone?

[ForeverAirsoft]

@LegitAirsoftReviews there are no "clones of clones of clones", the selling of these other echo1 lookalikes are illegal and not an actual gun brand.

[TheBassAngler1]

@LegitAirsoftReviews yes

[VGMoney]

@LegitAirsoftReviews its the inception of the guns!

[StealthTacticsClan]

@VGMoney so its airception

[TheAssassin111]

dam greety bastards! lol love the bloopers

[InvaleStudios]

2:34 = Priceless

[kenshixumada]

2:37 he flips us off!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!

[m4airsoftstuff]

haha i have that gun its a great echo 1

[happyman0914]

Echo1 rebrands airsoft guns so an "original" echo1 is an oxymoron.

[42ndAirsoftLegion]

yes, thank you!! all echo1 is is a clone with a new logo on it for the price of a tokyo marui. they're bastards.

[ninetailedhollow5]

um, have you looked at the prices of any of their guns? about half of tm's

[42ndAirsoftLegion]

Well look at the 40 to 50 bucks you could save if you went with a jg m4a1 instead of the echo1 m4a1. Same gun, the other just comes with markings. If you really want to spend the money to look all cool, go ahead, but that is about where echo1 lies in the field. They just want your money and quality of their products is of no concern to them.

[NowayLaughs]

No they don't. They used to rebrand JG and KART but they no longer do.

[427Thunder]

ORLY? Prove it. We have proof, but you don't.

[NowayLaughs]

Prove it.

:)

[427Thunder]

That was at the guy who said they don't rebrand. My reply function is a little screwy.

[exdeeer]

Isn't the Echo 1 Task Force a Cyma?

[MDairsoft]

They still re-brand JG??

[NowayLaughs]

I don't know about now, I know they did a few months ago. The Box is the same, so is the hopup and barrel. All exact same, I did a comparison. If I get any extra money that I don't need for other airsoft gear, I will buy one of each and do a comparison.

-Dwin

[AnthonyPellino]

My gun has worked for me for 2 1/2 years, been airsofting non competitively with my friends. I don't have the barcode, or JP on my box. I bought from shortyusa (legit right?) So I

m guessing mine is fake, but w.e because it works anyways.

[TinkyHitman]

then its not a real echo 1 gun

[vgamedude12]

Oh yeah cause everyone wants to clone a clone of a clone... what the fuck?

[JOHNNYoreo]

1:52 LMAO priceless

[mustardman32]

airsplat?

[bernsan443]

lol he flicked us off

[lvplaya14]

i was going to say that to lol thank god mine is not a fake lol

[rifichico]

great video!!!!!!!!!!

[AnbuBlackOps4]

lol this are the best blooper ever XD

[trickstyle48]

Any chance of someone helping me? I'm looking for either a powerful two tone asault rifle (both semi and fully automatic) or maybe a sniper rifle, i'd appreciate if somebody could respond to this message and help me cheers :) (and for anyone that wants to know, i live in the UK)

[vergerdaf]

it depends if its your first gun.

[AnbuBlackOps4]

the echo 1 red star akm its a super reliable ak 47. its super sexy for 210$

[PossessedDonutz]

Im just stressing it

[antin00bkilla]

LMAO 2:35 and following...

[PossessedDonutz]

Airsplat sucks.

AirsoftGI and Airsoft Megasotre are the best two.

AirsoftGI is first while ASMS in 2.

ASGI has very good customer service.

[keneke45]

actually, airsoft gi and evike are the best two, but then again, "best" is opinionated. ive had to go trough asms customer service. they will fix your gun, but they keep sending out defective or wrong guns. They really should open up retail than just be a warehouse.

[PossessedDonutz]

well, I have yet to see, my g22 is coming soon but I'll see i guess

[DeltaWinters88]

Dude tell me how your G22 works cause I fucking hate mine cause I had to fabricate my own hop up just to shoot fucking straight cause the v hop was sucking monkey nuts on the thing.

[PossessedDonutz]

My hop up is fine on it, right out the box.

[mustardman32]

no airsoft gi, evike, and SHORTY USA, CAUSE THEY GOT IT ALL, OR MOST OF IT, OR IM JUST HAPPY CAUSE THEY BROKE AWAY FROM THE USUAL ALOT OF AEG AND GBB WHICH THEY NEVER RLY DID BUT THEY Got A MINI GUN :D

[VideosByRaymonD]

airsplat isnt a good site. i havnt bought from them, but i can tell somehow...

[OSU5312]

E1 does NOT make any guns, they rebrand allof their guns.

[nadatazz]

My brother just mad a order for a Thompson with a custom wooden stock and handguard. Airsoft GI said it would take them two to three weeks to get here. They got it done in one.

I would have to say Airsoft GI is the best and most riliable place to buy airsoft products. They test their guns BEFORE they ship them out to you, to make sure that your not sending it back for a refund.

THAT is a nice airsoft relator. Does evike do that? No. Airsplat? Nope. Pyramid? I dont think so.

[MaakuZA]

Airsplat sucks they sent me the wrong vest! Airsoft gi is the best!

[xTEHWAFFLESx2]

everything but a pistol i bought from them was the wrong item. (thuoughout my 4 or 5 orders from them.)

[attmlb]

no they have great deals but they took 2 months and a ton of time on the phone to get there stuff to me with a ripped open and spilled bag of bbs, and they have been known to do worse, i do agree they have great prices and i might just givethem another shot but sorry buddy they do pretty much suck
