[Hectic]

the echo 1 should be a decent upgrade platform. I started with the worst of the worst a TSD sd 700. the only thing beter about it then any other vsr/bar 10 is that the outer barrel is much longer then any other one out there, if i recall it takes a 600mm or 630mm inner barel.
i wil admit tho the tolerances leave much to be desired i will eventually grab tm or echo1 gspec to hide my long inner inside a big silencer.

to the guy whos ba doesnt shoot further then his m4, i think u r doing something wrong, with .36 or .40 i can hit a torso sized target at 350-400ft and can hear the thwack of the bb hitting it. Im not sure what u got in your rifle but somethin aint right, even at 450fps with .36 it was good out to300ft plus once i tweaked the hop up by adding a nub(there useually isnt one in a vsr) and found the ideal bb (str8 .36's) it was quite the rifle .
tho the crappy tolerances on the tsd mean that once in a while ill get a stray shot, almost always pulls to the left prolly one in 15 or 20 shots does this.
