Need haaalp!!!!

[Proffesional-noob]

Ok, so im relatively new to airsoft. And ive spectated a few games and ive decided! Im into this sport. After months of negotiating with my rather gun opposing parents i am allowed to buy a gun. A budget gun that is. So i soent hours in my local comex hobby and ive ended with three choices. All of which i have concerns that could affect me in the long run. My first choice os a g&g CM of any model. Ive heard good and bad of it. Hit or miss, love or hate. Ive heard that it falls apart after a while. My 2nd choice is also by g&g, its a cm chione m4 which is just an m4 tht is white. My inly conern is will it fall apart and how easily will it get dirty and cleaning options. My final choice is a JG g36C i really like g36 designs. But ive heard that JG uses crappy internals. Ive also read a review about a guys jg having snapped internals and it came over oiled. Its also made in china....im not so sure on chinese airsoft guns tho. This gun needs to last me a few years. So any ideas, recommendations? Thanks

I like the G&G option the best those are the only 3 you are choosing from.

Honestly... get age verified, poke around the forums and classifieds before making a decision.
You won't regret it.

judging by the fact he needs his parents' permission, I'm guessing he's not 18 lol

G&G is a good choice.
If your gun isn't dirty, you're not using it right.

Blitz 85 im actually 15 but im playing with the guys from the store and they said i should be OKAY.

[Blitz85]

Good point, oh well.. My advice still stands, you just may have to wait a few years before taking it lol

[targetGspot]

I think G&G is a good choice, NO gun will last you forever. If you don't abuse it, it should last you a few years with minimal upkeep. Run it till your 18 then go nuts on something else! I've owned and currently own G&G guns and have nothing bad to say about them. I have never had a JG, but have not heard good things about them for the most part.

the jg g36 is a good gun if you get the newest revision of it. The only drawback of it is the hop up design is their own. If you know the guys from the store and they have seen and worked on g36s before.. (and this is where you're buying it from presumably) you should be able to take 1 pin out of the magwell and pull the magwell off to look at the hop up unit. If it looks like a big L shape, it's the newer model, if it looks like the straight marui style, then it's the old one.

The new model is pretty beefy as china guns go.. they're built well enough, with a nylon fiber body, unlike the older ones which were like TM, made from ABS. There's a breed of gun builders out there that buy JG guns as base guns to build monsters out of because they're very affordable. Their reviews of the gearbox internals put them on par with combat machines from G&G.

They're both entry level guns, so don't expect the world from them.... and even then.. don't expect the world from any gun out of the box, entry level or premium.

At 15 I used a Crossman M4 that housed it's ammunition in it's 'scope'.. And I loved it.


Both these guns will be a world away from that crap box, however I would point you towards the Combat machine as I'm very familiar with G&G. It's easy to work on, and you can upgrade it later should you choose to.


Welcome to the sport

king arms M4, go metal, or go home :P

[Wilkie]

That's a good point. KA m4s are cheap as dirt now adays, and they're great guns


Down the road they make an excellent upgrade platform if you wanna go down the road.
