j2dag93 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 i know they are just about the same thing but i have some questions? which one comes with more acessories? better performance?price?ect..... Link to post Share on other sites
ostego Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 galaxy is unbeatable. everyone will preach it here, and rightly so. Its amazingly pwoerful, accurate, weighted, and comes with : hi-cap magazine, battery, charger, cleaning rod and the gun itself! Galaxy MP5k FTW Link to post Share on other sites

Romulus Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 That's what I understood but it would be nice to have it confirmed by someone who was 100% sure. Link to post Share on other sites
trd6478 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 echo1 comes with a lowcap and a mp5k buttcap thing for like 15 bucks more Link to post Share on other sites
j2dag93 Posted October 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 what about externals? Link to post Share on other sites

AirsoftHawaii90 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 what about externals? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I found the Echo 1 has different trades. I think theres also trades on the stock like the TM but its there own trades. Its like a "E" in a large triangle. Its placed on the stock and were the Galaxy trade mark would go on the side of the AEG. I say go for the Galaxy. Then you would know for sure that its a newer model and comes stocked with metal bushings. Link to post Share on other sites
Romulus Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 They're so cheap that I have to resist buying two and having a little Matrix-esq fun. Link to post Share on other sites
booligan Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 The Echo 1 is a rebrand of the Galaxy. Both the galaxy and the Echo 1 come with the lowcap, as well as the high cap. The Echo 1 includes a scope mount, and the K endcap, but you can remove the stock from the Galaxy and attach the sling mount to the endcap, and have a K style gun anyways. I would stick with the galaxy, since it can be found for so much cheaper than the Echo 1. I wrote the Galaxy review on ASR, and can link it if you would like. Link to post Share on other sites
poorieuser Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Isnt ECHO1 just the new UTG. IE they rebrand everything and throw in a couple accesories. Link to post Share on other sites
ardrummer292 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 I have some experience with the ECHO-1, and it was pretty decent for such a short gun. I definitely liked it, just not enough to warrant a purchase. About 315fps, loud with a bit of recoil, accuracy is good for such a short barrel, range is good. Link to post Share on other sites
sigmaboy Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 the galaxy MP5k is amazing. here is a thread about it. http://www.airsoftretreat.com/forums/index.php?topic=46548.0 Link to post Share on other sites
wheaties Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 I dont know much about echo 1 but i just bought the galaxy mp5k pdw for about $70 including shipping and it's a great little gun. it does have really nice range for such a small gun. according the the coke can test my gun is shooting around 340 fps right now. its rpm isn't amazing but you can buy a better battery and it goes up quite a bit.

transist Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 I'd go with Galaxy for the price. Essentially they're the same thing, Echo 1 just tries to make it better by adding stuff and hyping it. As a result, the price is jacked up. Just go with what you can find cheapest.

mannequin skywalker Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 got THE PDW VERSION fri very well constructed nice feel and weight,bigger than first thought,very accurate,very happy with it,easy to work with,only complaint cant use the fake cocking bolt when the batts in Link to post Share on other sites
j2dag93 Posted October 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 does anyone know if the battery charger would work in the U.S.?(the 2 square pins and not the roundish ones for U.K.) I have a galaxy G7 mp7 and the charger was not compatable so i had to get a marui charger. If the galaxy is not compatable in the U.S., i guess im going with echo 1..... Link to post Share on other sites
booligan Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 It just depends on where you buy it from. If you buy it from pointact or airsplat, or other US based retailer, it'll have the US plug. Link to post Share on other sites
j2dag93 Posted October 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 thanks, i was planning on ordering it from airsplat anyways. does the hop up work well?what about the selector switch? my galaxy mp7s selector switch is super gay and thats why i never use it anymore...

transist Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 my galaxy mp7s selector switch is super gay and thats why i never use it anymore... I wasn't aware that selector switches could have sexual preferences. Usually a little fiddling will fix selector problems. Oftentimes crappy selectors are just poorly cast or assembled. MP7s could be different, I haven't held one. Link to post Share on other sites
j2dag93 Posted October 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 ive already tried fixing it several times but failed......every....single......time.... Link to post Share on other sites
booligan Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 The selector switch is smooth, but the trigger itself locks up occassionally in semi. A quick burst of full auto fixes it, so it's no biggie... The hopup holds its position well, and is very responsive. It's a PITA to get to, since you have to take off the foregrip to do it. Other than the occasional semi lockup, it's a great gun. I use mine as primary in desert play all the time. Link to post Share on other sites
wheaties Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 I got my galaxy from here, Click they may seem a bit untrustworthy, but i got mine no problem, it was cheap and arrived right on time so if you're thinking of getting the galaxy check this place before you get one.

The Mp5k alsouses a Ver. 3 gearbox so its common. Oh, and welcome Booligan! I can see that you joined up from ASR.... You have competition my friend. News spreads a lot faster here than on ASR. wheaties! Why did you have to give away the secret site!? Also, for me its now $108 shipped. Shipping went up. Ah well. Link to post Share on other sites
