Echo 1 Minigun Out (Sort of)


Plymouth Roadrunner

Recommended Posts

Yea Echo1 are a re-brander IIRC. Still $3500 jee... I remember loads of people saying 'no chance its more than $1000' before it was released.. and well looks like they've taken a possibly good selling gun (well for the people willing to pay $1000 for it) and made it somewhat pointless to buy and out of reach of most people gearing up for it.

I have held the gun at our Distributor and it feels very nice. Nice and hefty. The price tag isnt very bad compared to other mini guns on the market. Sadfully I didnt get a chance to fire it but I did get a phone call one day at the shop and my boss was holding the phone as it was firing and it was pretty insane. So if you want a "non clone" go pay your 6k for a Piper Presicion (Which honestly looks nice and feels nice, but doesnt fire very well) Or get this guy and be impressed.

lets not throw milsim out the window

-Joe

 

I really do hate that kinda attitude ¬_¬ Shock horror, not everyone who airsofts is into milsim. And yes, much lols at the people who thought this would be ubercheap.

 

edity afterthought, have the clone 249's made a huge difference to milsim?

 

:zorro:

Last time I checked the M249 was a real world weapon (in use I might add) and not a fantasy POS.

I think he means that there's no handheld version of a minigun outside Hollywood. When a 7.62mm minigun fires at 6000rpm it's exerting something like over a ton in recoil (something crazy like that anyway) :)

 

A minigun would make for a great vehicle mounted or fixed position weapon.

I hope thats what he meant.

 

I own a airsoft minigun. I paid a ton for my P3 version. I have used it twice this year. It works great, although 6 hop ups are a pain in the *albartroth* to adjust. I bought it because it is as high up the real/airsoft small arms food chain as you can climb. Yeah, it was a s**load of cash, but worth it to me in the end because I was able to fill a spot in my collection with something I can't get in real steel.
