Well I managed to get hold of a Echo1 M16A4 as not only did the Echo1 team want an unbiased review but I also wanted to know what the whole fuss was about. Did the Echo1 impress the Tokyo Marui fan boy? Well head over to the readers review section to read the full review on the Echo1 M16A4!
One of things I was very impressed with is that the Echo1 magazines in the M16 range are key winding, so along with the winding gear at the bottom you can also insert a hex key/Allen Key and speed wind it. Absolutely excellent and is a real time saver before a game! Out here in Japan a high capacity fast winding magazine will set you back around ¥5,000 JPY or $42.00 USD. The gun itself is $145.00 USD!
