Need some help deciding on which gun
« on: July 22, 2009, 03:40:25 PM »
Hey guys, Im trying to decide on two guns, the guns I am thinking of buying are the Echo 1 MP5 and the JG Ak-47 RIS. I was wondering because right now I'm leaning towards the AK because of its high FPS and its RoF, but I've heard things about the stock being wobbly and the selector switch can breaking. I will be playing in mid ranges most of the time but I also need a gun that packs a punch. Also if you have any suggestions for guns $130 and under it would be apprechiated, thanks!

im not sure if you know but the FPS limit for AEGs is 400fps. also, im not sure what med range means but anything closer then about 45 meters i would recommend using something under 350fps.

i researched the guns your looking into and id have to recommend the ak because they have a longer berral then the mp5 making it better for feild play. i own guns from both manufactures and i like both brands so its really up to you... if it were me id go with the ak

I've fired both the ak and the mp5, the only problem I had with both of them was the selector switch. It fell off of the AK for some unknown reason but was an easy fix, and on the Mp5 it broke so it wouldn't fire in semi. Both are great guns but I recommend the AK

Unless you'll be playing exclusive CQB or indoors, I'd definitely go with an AK model. The longer barrel will serve you better in a field game, and the AK has more options for upgrades.

to be honest use the search bar and you will most likely find a review on them both. i would say the AK is more legit as my personal input, but i've had both liked them both, its personal preference.

They are both made by JG, just Echo1 rebrands them, so using guns from both brands doesn't mean much. The AK47 has a longer barrel, bigger magazine capacity, and doesn't have the common MP5 high-cap issue. I would go with the AK47, I bet it is cheaper too because Echo1 usually raises the price since they include that 30day warranty.
