Also, it must be said that early chinese guns WERE pretty shitty but they have come lightyears in a very short time in the quality department.

If yours is more than a year old, it will be very different from one bought today.

truth.

I strongly agree...I personally had a JG M733, bad accuracy, but 360 FPS and decent range out-of-box...and a JG M4 S-system (now in my brother's ownership)...shoots 380 FPS constantly...no failure after 5000 rounds...still doing perfect...except the hop-up rubber might need to be replaced due to wear...

Overall, I bought these two JGs about four months ago...they are absolutely great compared to JG's earlier products...the only bad thing about JG guns is their ugly exterior...that's all...any gun will need an internal upgrade or re-work if you want a higher performance gun...

Highly recommended for beginners in airsoft...or even for more experienced if under budget stress from family expenses...

What I have ready over the net and seen the JG M4 range seem to be the there best product. the other product are a hit and a miss .

there was a movie on youtube comparing the echo1 G36 basically a JG to a CA G36 and for the price the echo1 wasn't a bad deal at all.

i'm personally thinking about getting a JG36C getting it re-shimmed and grabbing a few external upgrades and using it as my indoor/rental gun.

all this talk made me feel confident in getting a JG HK416. :)

before then it was UTG which broke into the market for affordable and reliable airsoft, then CYMA came in and these companies were neck and neck for a while, now it looks like UTG is the past and JG/echo1 is the present and possible the future (going at this rate).

i have a TM g36that i bought used. i just bought a JG g36 from shootSOFT on the 25th of january as a rental. but if i had the money id buy 6JG for the price of 1 PTW or 2 JG for a TM

I got my JG M4 from buyairsoft just before they stoped selling decent guns I have put about 10 bags of bb's through it and it still shoots 380's all the time it had an orange tip so it may have been an Echo 1 all in all I must say it is just as solid as any stock TM gun I have held and i am going to get an MP5 and a BAR10 and any other JG gun I can get my hands on JG rocks and when stuff does break just put the good stuff in to replace it and your good to go

I have a jg m4. Its been used alot. Never had a problem, only thing i changed were the batteries for an intelect 9.6 and a tight bore barrel

This is good info. I need some cash for university so Ill be trading my Sig for a JG m4. Any compatibility problems with aftermarket upgrades? im looking at a JP front end on mine.

This is helpful to me too. Right now I own a TM M16A2 and will be selling it since I want a cheap XM177E2 for a Vietnam loadout. I will most likely use a JG M733 as a basegun.

Is it possible to swap the flashhiders on these guns?

With ease.

On the flash hider itself (see example below) you will find an impossibly small hex nut. Simply loosen it off (don't take it out) & spin the flash hider off the threads. Most TM flash hiders are compatible with JG.

Just got my JG MP5-J last night. I can't speak for its durability, but the intitial impressions are quite positive. They have their flaws, but I don't thing they're serious. Here's an initial review.
