Echo1 SCAR
« on: July 24, 2009, 09:55:20 PM »
I do think This short review applies to all AEG SCARS, but this experience comes from the Echo1 model. Do not get one. I have just spent 7 hours working on the most poorly designed AEG I have yet seen. Performing any maintenance on this gun is absolute torture, let alone upgrades. Due to the way this gun's body is designed, removing the gearbox takes an effort beyond frustration. Just don't even bother.You literally have to fight this gun tooth and nail to get the gearbox out of the body, prying, bending, and cursing all the way.

Once you get down how to manipulate the external selector gears in the correct manner, its no different than anything else.

it's still an all around poor design. It could have been made much more intuitive, or just plain easier. It's a prime example of the very important principle, "Keep it simple stupid".
