I'm posting this up for the guys over there. SAW's, M240's, RPK's, and MG36's are cool, but what do you do when you need something....with a little more firepower? Clearly the only thing to do is go with an M134! Spyops got one of the new Echo-1 M134 long barrels in a couple of weeks ago and this thing is an absolute monster. Shooting right around 360fps out of all 6 barrels the only thing you have to worry about is running out of ammo. The best part about it is the way it was designed. You won't be chewing up gears in one of these and it's basically a "springer". When the barrels are spinning, there is a ramp just before the 12 o'clock position that compresses the spring and when the spring releases the BB shoots. You can turn the barrels by hand and fire the gun off! The 12v battery is powering the motor that turns the barrels. There is no gearbox in the traditional airsoft sense. About the only downside to this thing is the weight. Obviously it's heavier than hell, but that's the trade off you get when you are using much superior and more reliable firepower. But enough of the jibber jabber here are some pics! Also, I'll be attempting to upload some video of Brad shooting it tomorrow.

Just the truth... not like every other retailer wouldn't make the same... Where are you getting this $1000 mark up figure from? Especially when the gun alone costs $2500 and that's not including the battery, the control box and the cost of shipping to Spyops.

You just love stirring up trouble for no reason, don't you?
How bout the $3500 price tag that it's listed at everywhere or the $3800 at some palces? Stop defending someone you're not even working for. So the battery and charger are $60, toss in shipping and then we'll make it $900 is that better? Still a crazy mark up. I'm not saying it's unfair, etc, it's the going rate, all airsoft shops are making it. Get off your high horse, and enjoy your little toy.

And how many rounds will be through it once he sells it? Im wondering that myself, I cant tell how many he shot through it already on the video he has on his website. Seems like he should sell it for a little less now considering that its used.
