Echo rebranding JG, or others?(your opinion?)

So do you think that Echo 1 should rebrand JG, or other companies as well?


Persoanally I think Only if they are as High quality as JG is.

I agree. Echo1 should also rebrand from other high quality chinese companies to ensure variety of replicas.

If they rebrand different brands, it might be more difficult to provide customer support, since each gun is different.

Leave UTG to rebranding utter crap while Echo 1 gets the goodens.

I don't see why they should just stick to JG. It's not like they have a commitment to JG to only use their products. UTG is catching up too. They've got the CM.031 and the M14.

Mod the poll, if you would. I vote for them being able to rebrand other versions as well (AGM, new CYMA, A&K). I wouldn't mind getting a warranty on those

i dont think they should go w/ utg

??? What are you talking about? UTG and Echo 1 are both rebranders, and are competitors. Echo 1 is not going to rebrand UTG rebranded guns.

uhhhh.... just kidding? (oops)

Ok Echo 1 doesn't rebrand guns. This is an Echo 1 forum. So shouldn't
every one know that? Just look at the differances! JG: m120 spring. 370-385 fps. Echo 1: m110 spring. 340-355 fps.

those fps estimates are skewed. Echo 1 does rebrand guns, it's been denied but the evidence in favor is overwhelming. Especially since Echo 1's and JG's come with the exact same manuals, the guns are identical, and now that all the V2s are here they all shoot the same fps. The pay difference is for the warranty. It's kind of like saying here is 30 bucks just in case my gun breaks so I can send it back. But after 30 days, if you got a JG, you have the same exact gun as someone who got the Echo 1.

They use differant springs. Oh, and I did not do the fps estimates. I got them from relieable websites such as www.shortyusa.com.

shortyusa.com is not the most reliable website for fps estimates. Look through the forums at www.airsoftretreat.com/forums if you want to find out the true stats of a particular gun.

Also, Echo 1 is still rebranding guns, whether they put in new springs or not, they will still be rebranding JG's.

The internals on the Echo 1 guns are different from the JG as well.

I believe that shorty uses the fps estimates from the manufacturer, which,
in the case of Echo1, gives the minimum fps. Oh, and I am a member of the
airsoftretreat forum.

edit: Did I tell you about the classic army gears?

They are not classic army gears! The gears are actually CA which is not classic army.

So what is CA supposed to mean?

The JG gears are the same! I own the JG and I have seen them. They are stamped CA. I dont' know if you're still thinking about the old version 1's, because you probably are. Next you'll try to tell me the spring guide is still plastic when they actually changed it to metal.

I'm talking about the new versions and they are identical.

EDIT: So airsoftguy, when you edited your post, did you mean to tell me that only Echo 1's have classic army gears and others have crappy ones? I can assure you they both have high quality gears, and even if the springs are different, ECHO 1 is STILL a rebrand company, and everyone else here knows that.

I have heard that JG has cheap gears, but that was not what I was
trying to say. And everyone else knows that Echo 1 just rebrands guns,
then everyone else is wrong.

alright, since facts will not persuade your opinion, I will leave it with my opinion on the issue this post was made for.

I feel that Echo 1 (The rebrand company) should indeed rebrand more than just JG guns. When they rebrand only JG, we get only a select few products that will actually have warranties. Those warranties Echo 1 gives out are what allows people to have the security they need to buy it so they can review it for us here on these forums!

They should continue to rebrand what they can, because although people will know that they are indeed a rebrand company, they will still be offering a viable service to those who purchase their products, and for that, we should all be grateful.

I know that Echo 1 may start out with a gun such as a JG, but they upgrade
the internals, so it's really not a JG at all.

So if I buy a Marui, then I stick in some upgrade parts, it's no longer a Marui, it has now become a "Nick" airsoft gun? That DOES NOT make them a manufacturer, it makes them a rebrand company that puts in some different parts, they still aren't making the guns, but I'm glad you realize that now.

Oh, so if you take a Marui and pull out all the internals and put is UTG
internals it's still a Tokyo Marui?

In that case you could make an argument to say that it's no longer a TM. However, in the case of Echo 1, all they change is the spring and MAYBE the gears. That is still a JG. If I take out the spring and gears of a Marui, which some people do, to get it shooting around where these JG's do, then it would still be a Marui. Would you call it a Systema just because I put TWO systema parts in it? No.

I do not think that they just put in 2 new parts. I believe they Echo1s have
better internals including the spring, gears, piston and gearbox.
