Question What should I rather get?

Yeah, im on a small budget and I have a question about which gun I should get.

First off, Echo 1 AK-47...

http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_inf...oducts_id=2167

Second choice...

http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_inf...oducts_id=3310

I really wanted the full metal AK-74 but I heard that D Boys is bad. How bad is it? If I buy it what should I upgrade?

The Echo. D-boys are notoriously bad, they break constantly.

Let me put it this way- to my knowledge, if it is worth it to you to make sure your gun does not fail internally after 3000 rounds, you will likely spend more fixing it up than you will by paying more for the Echo1.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

No seriously, get the Echo. Just from personal experience with both. The only problems I've had with my echo is the motor in it(Which i found out is actually a Double Eagle motor) for some reason it wont fit back into my gun. But it chronos out of the box at 380-390.

You and your combat machines. But still, all of these would be good choices. The D-boy will just cause you to spend more money than you want fixing the darn thing.

Yep. I realize it may sound redundant but don't all these "which one" threads do?

It's not that I think Echo 1s are terrible, I just think they are over priced when there are better alternatives out there for the same amount or less.

You want an AK 74? Stick an AK 74 mag into your gun. There.

If you really want to sacrifice quality for the box saying AK 74, you might as well save money.

Best low priced AKs on the market aside from G&G.

How about this CYMA? Is Cyma a good company?
http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_inf...products_id=47
I'm pretty sure that it's an Ak 74 or is there a Ak 101?

Your link takes us to a scope mount. CYMA AKs are built pretty well internally. I use to own one and you could take it anywhere and do anything to it. It could take some abuse. Same for my friend's and the others' I see on the field.

Ofcourse, externally they feel like junk. They may be metal but if you tap it, you'd swear it is crappy plastic. By the way, the DBOYs, CYMA, UTG, and Echo have the same externals. I just find the CYMA to be more reliable internally.

Just a warning. If you go with one of the four brands up there, prepare for your sight to break off, your pistol grip to come loose and wobble, wobble on handguard, wobble in stock, and other signs of usage. Along with the reliable internals, I recommend the G&G because you get the best value for your money. While it is not "full metal" it is strong nylon fiber that won't give you any of the crap mentioned above.

Hope this helps you make your decision.

It says 400 but usually they shoot 385 or so, especially after they are broken in. Most likely, you are find and should leave the spring as-is.

Echo 1
RIS system, more reliable, Much sturdier, save a few bucks, cause it comes with 2 mags and vertical grip

fps is a little low, but you can always put a 120 spring in it

D-boys
Nororious for breaking down.
no ris, that means you cant mount sights, or any other accesories.
good fps.
collapsable stock, good for cqb


i'd take the echo1.

How many M120 springs have you installed? How many of those shot under 400 FPS?
