Juggernaut 11,054 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 How does JG compare to other brands like UTG ect..... I just ordered one of these... did I do OK for a noob? http://www.amazon.com/JG-Rifle-Pre-Upgrade...c/dp/B000RLXEW8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Agias 0 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 I have no respect for JG, their SVD is ridiculous. It doesn't even remotely resemble a dragunov. I don't play airsoft, i'm really thinking about getting into it though, with Escort made guns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
acercanto 6 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 I've done a bit of airsofting, and 430 fps is a very nice speed for a gun. The only thing that bothers me is the price. No really. Quality costs money. It's been a while since I've researched airsoft stuff, so I can't remember any of the real good brand names other than Tokyo Marui. But hey, use it a bunch as soon as you can after you get it so if it's gonna break, it'll do it before your 30-day return window, and if it holds up, you've got a keeper!

Acer The low price made me a bit nervous as well... but this is what I read on it...... This is said to be a Marui clone http://www.shortyusa.com/airsoft.html?http...mp;CA=&RID= If you are looking into getting into the airsoft sport but do not want to drop a couple hundred dollars on a Marui or Classic Army, the JG rifles offer an insane amount of bang for your buck. They are exact clones of Tokyo Marui AEGs yet at only a fraction of the price. And with enough power to unnerve any hardcore airsoft player within a 150 foot radius, they should not be taken lightly. Coming standard with a metal gearbox and steel gears these rifles are known to be very reliable. The body and gearbox of the JG AEGs have the exact same layout as their Marui counterparts so they can use Marui compatible magazines and can be tweaked for higher performance with Marui compatible upgrade parts. However, these rifles shoot exceptionally well right out of the box thanks to a tight sealing piston and air nozzle which has these rifles shooting in the high three hundreds with a .2g BB.

Superhawk138 202 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 A few friends of mine got me started into airsoft. We used to have Red Ryder wars in the woods so I got a cheap UTG MP5 and my friend spent a few more bucks. $275.00 got him a real nice Echo 1 Ak74 Nce finish all metal parts. Looks very authentic. At 360+ fps it hurts like hell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Juggernaut 11,054 Posted July 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 is that the same crew as the real vector arms? I mean is Rex building airsoft on the side? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinsen 86 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 If I was you, I'd stick with Tokyo Marui and call it a career. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I had my eye on a real nice looking airsoft gun on ebay. In fact I think I sent you a link to that Juggs. It's a Russian sidefolder replica ' 74 with real wood furniture, all steel construction, bayo lug, and everything. It was only like 129.00. Amazing for a realistic looking and feeling FA AK. I want to get one but for some reason when I go there now it says "seller is away".....hmmm..hope he's just on vacation. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=360024294600 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dodgeturbointerceptor 1 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Am I into airsoft? Only when it's an Izhmash made Yunkers pellet gun made on a real AK-74 receiver minus the rails. That thing is a beauty!!! Not sure if I'd pay $1,000.00 for it. But You never know!?!??! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
