Echo1 Red Star AKM
My first impressions of this gun right out of the box where very good. This gun looks and feels like the real deal! The real wood furniture on it is crafted very well and has an excellent finish on it.
PERFORMANCE [/u]
This gun shoots hard! Airsoft GI chronographed this gun at 424 FPS, making it an excellent AEG for someone wanting to play a basic rifleman role. However, the high velocity does have a bit of a con in that you must use bb's heavier than .20g. If you don't you will quickly discover that your shots will start to drift aft er about 40 yards.
Battery space in this AEG is a bit tight but very secure. It accepts a standard mini-type battery which is stored in the stock and is secured by two Philips head screws, not the old-style pop-off but plate. Some people might not like this but i do. I would much rather take the extra minute to secure the butt plate this way than to have the possibility to loose it in a game.
OVERALL RATING
Very solid AEG with a few cons for some people.
8.5 out of 10!
