Echo 1 Advanced Squad Carbine (SCAR)


Recently I got my hands on and in an Echo 1 Advanced Squad Carbine (SCAR). Here’s the short version:

Out of the box the E1 SCAR shoots 370 and has a pretty flat shooting hopup. It includes a pretty decent 1100mah 8.4v battery, 2 mags, a barrel extension, and all the usual accessories.

Externally the SCAR is built very solid and has a monolithic upper receiver. The only possible weak point I saw on the design is the tab that holds the stock open.

The gearbox is a standard version 2 gearbox with pretty standard quality parts. It does have metal bushings, unlike the dboys SCAR. By the way, this is a rebranded dboys gun. The gearbox looks like it'll last quite a while.

Personally I find it to be less ergonomic than a comparably sized M4, your results may vary.
