Answer 1

does it have to be an mp5j?

echo 1 makes some other guns that are really good buys for the price, and they have full stocks which means more battery space.

they also have the "full metal" guns which I have used before and are very reliable

scroll down on this page and you should see a whole list of echo brand aegs

**The version of gearbox just shows what gearbox design they copied off of tokyo marui, if possible try to find one with metal bushings as they will last longer. (should say metal bushings ont he box)

Answer 2

I agree with the man above me.

Answer 3

Did you know that you could get a Classic Army MP5 for only $30 more?($160) It is part of their sportline series, and it is called an BT5 A2 or A3 if you prefer the retractable stock. It is a very good gun in my opinion so I would check it out. But then again, the Echo 1 MP5 sounds pretty good also. Oh yeah, check to see if it has a metal gearbox, you don't really want an ABS one because ABS is less durable and stuff like that.
