Etek shoots just as good as any other Ego, Snake6... which is not that great.  I've never shot an Ego that I loved the feel of, and EKU just got offered a deal with Eclipse that I'm not terribly excited for :(

I have never not been impressed with the shooting on my ego. Also aren't you the one who is always trying to get me to give you my Ego?

Whats the deal with EKU and Eclipse?

Looks good. I've never really been a fan of Ego's though.

Try a Bob Long Marq.  Those things shoot so crisp its amazing.  Or maybe a Matrix, but go Proto with UL frame, the DYE Matrix is overrated.

Looks nice, and for the price, it's a good grab.

Not really allowed to discuss it Snake, I'm just hoping we don't get it so I don't have to shoot an Ego.

Honestly, i work at Skirmish USA, and i have seen quite a few real Ego's and shot them hand in hand with the Etek's, and it is not that big of a difference, and for half the price, i don't think i would spend the extra 400$ for the real Ego.

Very nice price for a full setup.


I hated the first two ego's.

I love Ego 7's though. They shoot very nice. I'll still take a Matrix over it any day.

Great price.  Nice gun too.
