Well this came out several days ago and i missed it somehow. Anyways, here you go www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=17369These can be used by most front as some German units used them, the chinese used them and in turn the japanese would capture/aqcuire and use. This gun would also make a good stand in for a bren or perhaps even be the base for a conversion should one so choose

Nice find Stuka. This should open up more options for Brit and japanese impressions.

Oh God... I'm a college student with no spare money, but this is incredibly hard to resist.... Its *perfect* for a Chinese impression.

I own one, they were originally released with the gas tube still in unpainted aluminum. (also own the ROCK ZB model).
Both have strength and weaknesses. The ROCK is made of better materials but has a short mag and not the much more known standard long mag which, frankly, makes the ZB look so much meaner. But the Echo has a wind-up high-cap that one HAS to use the provided key to wind with (Grrr).
For the non-collector, the Echo model is the way to go (and half the price). For the collector who also wants good materials (ROCK used Inokatsu to build their ZB) the ROCK is the one to get. I'm going to P* my ROCK as it came with five 160 round mid-caps. This should be a fearful gun:)

Also note that Echo now issues the gun with PLASTIC butt, pistol grip and carry-handle. My gun, was procured from a ACM company before it was licensed to Echo 1 - and came with all real wood furniture (for the same price! Shame on Echo for that). Also, beware the carry-handle on the Echo gun - it's more for looks than function. The ROCk carry handle is rock solid, no pun intended and is adjustable.

That sucks but if the zb is used in a crew type situation that may ease the inconvenience of the wind up. Also, depending on the internals of the hi-cap it may be possible to convert it to a mid-cap
