So I just completed putting the Echo1 Upgrade kit into my ASR and I thought that I would share the results with ya.

First off I couldn't believe how easy the kit was to install. I have never done anything like this before, and begining to end, it took me 20 minutes! Cool!

I don't own a Chronometer, so I had to design a bit of a "Hillbilly Chrono" to test how the upgrade worked.

I lined up 4 empty pop cans and layed a piece of wood across the top of them to hold them in place when I shot them.

I placed the gun about 2 feet from the end of the line of cans and I shot a BB at them.

Before the upgrade kit, a .30 BB went clean trough both sides of the first can, and then dented the piss out of the second can.

After the upgrade, the BB went clean through both sides of the first 2 cans, and then beat the shit out of the third can. Infact a couple of BBs actually penetrated one side of the third can! Double Cool!

So I don't know the actual FPS difference, but all in all, for $40.00 bucks, the upgrade kit seems to add a lot of power to this gun, an dI would recommend it to anyone (so far anyway).

I would love to keep writing about my Engineering feet, but I got to go look for a cheap Chrono now.
