I use a knockoff RRV by Condor and I love it, its lightweight and could easily hold 8 mags if I wanted to. I think Condor labels theirs as a MOD Vest in case you want.

Reviews / Echo 1 Contracotrs Personal Weapon (CPW)

Echo 1 CPW
My second review, hopefully I'm getting the hang of this. Pics coming (soon?).

The AK47 is an older gun, and is to my knowledge one of the last guns still serving with wood furniture, but nothing about the CPW looks old fashioned. It hits hard (a little too hard stock, actually), has a great rail kit and metal body, and a lot of other excellent features. So without further ado, the CPW.

BODY:
The body on the gun is a custam body, flat black and entirely metal. On one side it reads 'Echo 1 USA.COM, MADE IN P.R.C.', this side also has the selector and bolt (also entirely metal). The opposite side also is marked 'CPW Cal 7.62x6mm, Contractors Personal Weapon' and features a modified jolly roger emblem with crossed AKs and a Beret-clad head. The standard AK style grip is removed and replaced with the much comfier SAW style grip. The grip is not metal, but is sturdy ABS and feels amazing to hold. The trigger and trigger guard are metal as well. The stock is NOT a standard AK47 stock at all, but has been replaced with an M4 buffer stube and ArmaLite stock. The stock sits well, but mine wobbles just a bit. On top of the receiver is an extremely nice rail, my only qualm about it is that its a custom rail so my LaRue mount won't fit on it. Now, the best thing about the rail is that it pivots. If you pull the rail back and up, it pivots upwards, allowing you to take off your receiver top without removing the whole rail. Overall, the body is extremely well made and is rock solid. 10/10

RAILS:
An AK47 with rails isn't the most common sight. Usually, for an AK to take any optic you have to bolt the optic in to the side of the receiver. The rails on this gun make it much easier. The railed handguard is made of strong ABS plastic, and has no creaks or wobbles. The gun comes with a Knights style foregrip, but honestly I thought it was crap and it ended up breaking on me before I even fielded it. Luckily I had a King Arms grip so I piut it on instead. Overall though the rails are nice. no moans or creaks. 9/10 for the craptastic grip.

OUTER BARREL:
Not very much to say on this one, its all metal, no wobbles, no complaints. The flash hider is an orange plastic one, but I took it off and put on a Noveske. 10/10

PERFORMANCE
After fielding it for the first time, I've gotta say it's an awesome gun. At the end of the game it was getting a bit tiresome and it's large size makes it uncomfortable to shoulder in a crouching position, but overall it was really good. Pretty standard range for a stock AEG. All in all its a great gun, worth the money for sure. 9/10

Overall
Body: 10/10
Rails: 9/10
Outer Barrel 10/10
Performance 9/10
Anything I forgot (IE, stock...): 9/10 (wobbles a bit too much, and doesnt feel sturdy)

Airsoft Items FOR SALE / WTT CB Coyote Tactical Chest Rig
« on: October 15, 2009, 04:43:10 PM »
Hey, I'm traded my Coyote Brown chest rig, if possible I'm looking to trade it for a battle belt and thigh rig (in coyote brown), although I'd take a belt/thigh rig and some cash too.

Also, the reason the topic has a question mark is because I can't remember whether its a Condor or Coyote Tactical rig, but I'll specify as soon as I find out.

EDIT: It is Coyote Tactical

AEG's / Noveske Amplifiers?

Does anyone know if Madbull makes clockwise-threaded amplifiers, because the gun I am getting is thread Clockwise and it seems I can only find Counter-Clockwise Amplifiers.

Alright thanks. Thinking about putting on a silencer with the barrel extension. Too bad they don't make a underbarrel shotgun for it, wanted to go for a SPlinter Cell look :)

AEG's / FN2000
« on: February 13, 2009, 03:48:16 PM »
Hey so I was just wondering (this is a really random question) but does anyone know how long the inner barrel of the JLS FN2000 is? I've wanted one for a while and just trade my UMP for a shabby M15 and may sell the parts to buy the JLs, and I want to put in a tightbore but don't know what barrel length to get (this'll be my first time upgrading internals on a gun). Thanks

AEG's / Re: G&G UMP??
« on: January 18, 2009, 07:04:48 PM »
Yeah Ive used the UMG like twice and its pretty good. Its takedown is great and the internals are pretty nice, and like the person before me said the wires are clipped down so they never snag. Thats about as much info as I can gvev you, definately worth the buy.

Yeah, if your looking for a sniper backup maybe even a glock. I know that they do tend to have mechanichal problems, but a good gas glock will last you a long time, can shoot in full-auto, and is even smaller than an MP5K. But if you don't wanna opt for the pistol then I'd say the MP5K is a good choice too.

Airsoft Items FOR SALE / Looking to trade foregrips!
« on: November 29, 2008, 07:16:39 AM »
Hey, I currently have a King Arms vertical foregrip in black (full length, not the shorter version), but I have recently switched gear so I need a tan (dark earth) grip, so if anyone has a tan grip they dont need or want to trade for black, let me know.
Thanks
~C

PS: Shouldn't be to important but there is a small bit (approx. 1x1cm) of rubber stuck to the grip from where my laser aim pushpad tore off during a game. I remove as much rubber from it as I could but some just refuses to give.

Real Firearms / Bump-Firing Insight?
« on: November 26, 2008, 12:48:27 PM »
Hey, I've gone shooting twice in my life so excuse my lack of knowledge with real guns. When I went to the range with my dad a heard some guys talk about bump-firing, and when I looked it up it gave a lengthy explanation about it that I didnt understand, so could someone please tell me what bumb-firing is in simple terms?

Gas Powered Guns / Marushin Mateba Autorevolver
« on: November 26, 2008, 12:44:41 PM »
Marushin just recently released a limited edition replica of the Mateba Model 6 Unica Revolver. The gun in real-steel is one of the first and only autorevolvers in existence, and the airsoft one looks like a lot of fun, and with Christmas coming up I think I may get one. Its a limited edition run, and its made of HW plastic (plastic mixed with metal powder), and has wooden grips. The big letdown though, is that it only shoots at around 200FPS on HFC, but hopefully green gas will bring it near the mid 200s.


That thing at the end is a picture of a limited edition dummy round from Ghost in the Shell, which is a popular Japanese cyber-punk manga.
