How much does an echo 1 m249 para run for?
 

Hey guys. How much does an Echo 1 M249 PARA cost?

This is for information purposes only.

well about 400$ in the states so expect 2.5-3x in canadian so about 700+

Hmm. Alright.

Are echo 1's decent guns?

(Again for info purposes. I'd love to grab one when I get AV'ed. I'm 19 now, lol.)

Well once you are av'ed you will see that there are actually quite a few M249's for sale in the classifieds currently. Any reason in particular you have decided to go with Echo1?

ECHO 1 m249 = A&K m249 + QC

here this may help you decide if its a good gun or not YouTube- M249 SAW PARA- Quality Review P. 1 of 3

try googling for reviews, or using the search function, theres a few reviews up here and across the web

Alright thanks ritz.

And, no particular reason at all. Just I thought it'd be one of the cheapest while being full metal and sexy.

So, they run about $700+ eh? Hmmm.

Edit: So the echo 1 m249 is the same as the A&K but the echo 1 has quality control?

A&K has the quality control
yeah most m249's run about 700$+ regardless of brand, my vote would be for a Classic Army or A&K

I own a A&K M249 and it is an absolute beast. I find absolutely no problems with the quality control. The only change I made was the hop up rubber and nub. Most people will change the hop up unit as well to the CA one. But keep your options open don't write off the A&K version because of peoples misgivings about it who have never used one.

Oh sorry. :P

My math sucks early in the mornin. :p

Thanks guys.

Are you guys able to tell me how much a echo 1 m249 is going for in the classifieds right now? If not, its cool. (So I know how much to save up for.)

the A&K is a direct clone of classic army is it not? i've used both a CA and A&K and find them both very fun

To be totally honest I havent seen a Echo1 in the classfieds yet, mainly A&K and Classic Army and roughly 800-900$ + they're not cheap

Alright.

A&K, CA and Echo 1 are all full metal m249's, yes?

A&K and CA are yes, and since the echo1 is a clone then it would be believed so that they are all metal. did you google or watch any of the reviews? all your questions of build, quality, accuracy and much else about the gun would be answered in a review.

the prices and availablity question i understand if you ask them here but all else can be answered with a search

Yea. the guy just awnsered the question in the video. Its all full metal, except the barrel shroud and foregrip.

I'm just worried about one thing.

I'm used to being on front lines in a "firefight" in airsoft. Or or being in mid ground.

I know the SAW is a support weapon used for taking down multiple traveling targets (or so I believe) and for providing cover fire. Im not sure how much I'd have to change my playing style...

I can tell you from experiance that its heavy, and at the end of the day you will be tired from humping it around with you. You need to be in very good shape to be able to run to where you are needing.
