I was sent this gun directly from Echo 1 USA for review purposes.

In place of the dual optical sight found on the regular G36 and G36K, the G36C was equipped with rail-mounted iron sights that consist of a hooded front post and a flip rear aperture sight. The handguard and stock were also reduced in length and the fixed carry handle (with optical sights) was replaced with a carry handle with an integrated MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail. The use of a reduced length 228 mm barrel forced designers to move the gas block closer to the muzzle end and a shortened gas piston was used. This variant, the G36C, has a short barrel and a shorter (than the G36K), 4-prong open-type flashhider. It is made in several variants, with differences in barrel length, stock length, handguard length, choice of optics, etc… The G36 is a German 5.56 mm assault rifle, designed in the early 1990s by Heckler & Koch GmbH (HK) and accepted into service with the German Armed Forces in 1997, replacing the 7.62 mm G3 automatic rifle. Like all Echo 1 AEGs, this model features their 30 day warranty against manufacturer defects.Īs this gun is basically an H&K G36C at its heart, that’s the real steel history which we’ll discuss today: The MTC is essentially a G36C with several unique features for increased usability and customization for user comfort. Continuing with their recent trend of very unique airsoft replicas, Echo 1 has released their Modular Tactical Carbine, more readily called the MTC.
