Is JG a good brand?

The topic says it all

They have pretty awful quality control. Both my brother and a friend got the same AK of theirs, my bros works fine while my friends no longer works. I used to have one of their M4 CQBs as did another friend. Both work fine but my handguard had major wobble while his didn't. I'm not the only one who has had or seen these kinds of issues with JG guns.

In my personal experience and knowledge, yes, it is a GOOD brand. Not great, good. They are inexpensive replicas that can last you a very long time with proper care. Also they're very upgradeable because they are TM clones. I would recommend JG if you're looking for a good looking, sturdy, inexpensive rifle. They're best for starter guns by the way, so don't expect a stock JG to be able to match a KWA.

I have the JG G36C and I am really impressed. I have not had any problems with it, with the exception of the horrible chinglish in the manual, haha

I got a good laugh out of that with my G36K. Problem was, the trigger had an issue, you needed to push it to one side to get it to work. Acted as a second safety...sort of.

Here's one prime example of the chinglish from the manual "Fired gun munitional bb"

I'm fairly certain they made a new word with "munitional", haha.

I forgot, but my first AS gun (a CYMA Uzi for $25, total ripoff btw) had an amazingly funny manual. I always wanted to dual-wield Uzis, just for the CQB backyard my friends and I occasionally play.

ON TOPIC: JG is good for inexpensive guns with good performance, but there is better out there.

I have heard numerous times that you only buy JG for the G36 or AUG series. Agree/Disagree anyone?

I have heard many times that the G36 and AUG series are the best JG offers. The way I look at it, that's a pretty fair opinion.

I would go with Echo 1, you may hear some people say that JG and Echo 1 are the same company, thats not true. Their guns have very different feels and qualitys.
