Echo 1 Airsoft
First we need to state a few facts right up front. Echo 1 Airsoft is not a manufacturer. They do not make anything. Their business model is to partner with manufacturers of low cost, high reliability Airsoft guns and to help them increase their North American sales. HOW you may ask? They import Airsoft AEG’s, test them, rebrand and repackage them, and sell them under their own name with the addition of a 30 day warranty.
Echo 1 Airsoft Guns do sell better than the exact same AEG’s branded by their ‘real’ manufacturer here in the US. Again you may ask why? Primarily because Echo 1 offers added value in the form of testing, to weed out the lemons, and security in the form of a warranty. Don’t we buy warranties for products we buy all the time? Isn’t the knowledge and security of knowing your Airsoft AEG has been pre-tested for function and that you have a 30 day warranty worth an additional $25.00?

Another benefit that Echo 1 Airsoft brings to their partner manufacturers is a North American distributer that knows how to market and can help said manufacturer see significant increase in sales. Case in point: Can you FIND an Echo 1 G36C in stock ANYWHERE? Not very often. Trust us, we know. Now, can you find the Jing Gong G36C? Generally yes.
The end customer must, as in all things, do their research on any purchase first. If they don’t, well they get what they get. With all the blogs and forums out there you can find just about every opinion on Echo 1 and what they do or do NOT bring to the industry (read Gordon’s rant on our BLOG). It comes down to this. Echo 1 Airsoft would not exist if their partners did not get value from their partnership. They would be doing it themselves, if they could.
