If you spend enough time reading around about it you'll discover Helikon is much like Viper and Web-tex. A lot of airsofters shout about it from the rooftops when it works because it's cheap and us airsofters love a bargain more than life itself. But then again there's plenty of negative reviews around too and as with Android vs iOS, PS vs XBox, TM vs WE etc people get really bloody irate if you don't agree with their experience or perception of a brand. When you look up the reviews from guys who've owned and used higher quality gear that's when they're usually painted in a more negative light. Also the fact they've fabricated a new brand name with the release of their new line of backpacks doesn't fill me personally with confidence, every time I've seen a company in the airsoft or gear world do that it's because they've been trying to shake off the very negative reputation they've accrued in the past. Not to say organisations can't change/improve because they can, but it's an under-handed move IMO and usually when a company does climb out of a bad hole and turn things around they don't change their name (G&G being a prime example from the top of my head).
