Echo1 Genesis Viktor Full Size Airsoft AEG Sub Machine Gun

"I ended up getting this gun in a 99$ mystery box and I was pretty stoked as it’s a cool piece to add to the collection. However when i plugged in the battery and loaded the hi cap up, it would only fire maybe 4/5 bbs. I was pretty upset that the feeding issues were true at first but after further inspection i found that the spring/plunger inside the magazine that pushes the bbs had been installed backwards, allowing the bbs to just roll around freely. after switching the spring/plunger around it works perfectly. if i had the manual or any kind of directions i would’ve found this issue much sooner but alas it was a mystery box gun so it’s to be expected. at the end of the day though it shoots hard and straight and looks good doing it

"This is a solid gun. I paired this up with my Evike riot shield and I can lay down suppression fire for days for my team mates. I also own a CYMA M4 and a ASG AUG. By bar this is my weapon of choice out of the three. Finally, out of the three, this gun was the cheapest.

Pros:

Light weight ~ however metal where it needs to be & well built overall. With the shield I operate with this gun mainly in one hand with the foldable stock. I don’t get fatigued.

1000 high cap mag feeds well. Heavy duty spring allows for steady fire with less winding.

Very accurate. I use .25 Bbs in this bad boy, it’s more accurate than my $190 AUG

Devistating range. Shoots just as far as my two other assault rifles.

Superior fire rate. Shoots well over 400 FPS out of the box.

Finally, this is the most user friendly weapon. Very easy to reload, and even that you only have to do every two to three matches, (playing 5 vs 5 team death match). Great for flanking and maneuverability.

Cons:

Selector switch (safety~semi~full auto) is a tad loose. Better than my M4 though.

Installing battery isn’t always the easiest. Once you get the hang of it though, it’s pretty quick. I use a 7.4 lipo in mine.

No rails. You can’t attach any equipment to the gun, however with it’s accuracy and mag size you don’t really need to.

I had several friends try this gun out to get their feedback and all were impressed. One is even considering buying one now. This gun is very compact, however you don’t lose anything from it not being it’s larger assault rifle counter parts. I highly recommend this gun!!!

"Great gun. I got it a year ago and I have brought it to every airsoft game I've gone to. It's 1200 round magazine makes for great long games without reloading. I have had it run out of ammo in a game, but that game was lasting an hour and had multiple rush and defend points, so it was crazy. If you do run out of ammo, it is incredibly easy to reload, just pull back the spring, open up the hatch, and pour those bbs in. The polymer lower receiver really cuts down on the weight. The gun shoots around 360 fps consistently and really gets the necessary range. I thought the stock would be a little flimsy but it is rock solid. It'll last longer than most other stocks and has no wobble. There is enough space under the dust cover to fit a 9.6v butterfly battery, although I wouldn't recommend it, took me five minutes to jam it in there. Overall a great gun, thinking about buying another one just to have.

"Overall this gun is great! Mag is big so you don't have to reload offten. The only problem I find is that even after winding the mag up after a few shots you have to wind it again.

Pros:
Big magazine
Lightweight
Pretty accurate

Cons:
Having to wind mag up a lot

"Amazing gun. Its unique and feels nice. Only problem it seems to have is that it jams about once a day (might just be the BBS I use).

Pros
-accurate
-consistent
-decent ROF
-lightweight (might be a con)
-Huge magzine capacity

Cons
-mags are bulky
-jams some (might just be BBS)

"I was debating between this gun and the S&P version. After seeing both guns broken down I went with the Echo1. It seems the Echo1 is 20.00 cheaper, better gearbox with 8mm ball bearings vs 7mm bushings, the rof is higher on the echo 1, the teeth are modified for better AOE out of the box. The S&T has a metal body, tighter barrel 6.04mm vs 6.06mm, longer barrel 229mm vs 247mm. The reviews state that the S&T is more accurate while the echo1 with Lipo is about 20rps. There very similarly priced with advantages for either one. So do you want a lighter, higher ROF gun with 1k round magazines or a 160 round, very accurate SMG. Both guns can use either the 1k round or the 160 round magazine

"i bought this gun at a local shop in west NC. Ive had the pp-19 for 5 years now and running a 15.2 volt battery. it has been really good to me but the hop up retention ring broke in half and the hop up nub fell out making the gun almost useless. but that was after years of EXTENSIVE USE
Pros-
Great gear box
good rate of fire
consistence fps
light weight

cons-
hop up is trash after a while
selector switch got loose ( i fixed by bending it in)
magazines are hard to find and are very unreliable

"I got this gun around Christmas last year and have used it several times since, from my experience it is a very reliable gun. I have taken it to several CQB games and it has preformed perfectly every time with no problems. The gun shoots around 350-360 Fps.

Pros
- Light weight
- Space for large stick type battery's.
- Folding stock makes for good mobility in tight spaces.
- Very large magazine makes it unnecessary to reload. I've gone whole days without refilling the mag.
- The mag feeds very well when firing on full auto.
- Surprisingly good range for such a small barrel.

Cons
- No place to put a rail to mount a sight.
- Polymer lower receiver.
- Orange tip is very hard to remove.
- Hop up is hard to fine tune.

Overall very good gun for the price you pay would defiantly recommend for anyone who wants a unique looking CQB gun that functions well.

"Simply put I am at a 60/40 level with this rifle. The pros are that it is a solid rifle with a high capacity setting and it will fling the rounds down range at a good distance with accuracy. In addition, I was really impressed with its hit. It hits fairly hard and will display its presence well. However, cons are pretty rough. I had an issue with it not cycling and locking up about every 200 or so rounds. Also the side peg will not lock the stock in place when broken down. There were some rust spots on the rifle and the site was installed upside down. Also, as with the other reviews, to keep up with the fire rate prepare to wind a lot. Overall, after some modifications and work with the site that was bent, it works very well as a single shot hard hitting player. Would I purchase again or recommend to another, I’m not sure. This was just a purchase for the fun of it so I can’t complain. If you don’t care to be slightly disappointed but the king of the hill, then pull the trigger on this little demon.

"The gun its self is good but the magazine really makes this gun unlikable as it has a lot of problems and is extremely unreliable

"Purchased several years ago, body only recently broke when I feel on it. Outer barrel is tighter than a drum, the plastic heat shroud was very convenient and easy to use. It does fit a 7.4v lipo under it so you can wire this gun to the far front or under the dust cover like tradition. The stock hop up was not good, and the cylinder wore out quick. Stock mags need to be kept lubricated and not filled or wound to the limit or else jamming is common. plastic receiver doesn't allow for ak side optic mount. but also the indents for the selector lever do hold up very well.

"This gun is horrible I wish I never bought it and saved 160 dollars and bought a different gun. After not even 1000 rounds it wouldn't shoot but make a click. I sent it back to Echo1 and they fixed it but after 2 days it is having the exact same problem I am just going to save my money and buy a new gun. It is not evike's fault it is just overall a horrible gun I would give it ZERO STARS but that is not an option.
