What about the Echo 1 M28 Springer rifle?? Already goes 500 fps + out of the box.

The Toyko Mauri VSR-10 G needs mods to get that fast so I'd be spending more money buying the rifle then upgrading it to get 500 fps + ...

I'm sure you all will recommend the VSR-10 since it's got tons of upgrades available for it but I want to see if anyone already owns or has test driven the Echo 1 - any ideas guys?

I dont have one but a couple of snipers I play with have picked them up and had lots of problems with them. From what I have heard they are maintinence whores and not very upgradable.
