JG M16 Vietnam Airsoft AEG Rifle w/ Lipo Ready Gearbox (Package: Add 11.1v 1600mAh LiPo Battery + Smart Charger)

"There are a few differences between Echo1 and JG. Echo1 might have a echo1 logo printed on the receiver and it costs a little more. Other than that, get it from reliable retailers like Evike.com to make sure you have the most recent version of JG release.

"I chronographed the gun with .20 gram bbs abd it shoots 375fps with really good accuracy.

"this gun is a beast! i got it a few months ago and in every game i have played in i got multiple kills with this gun from over 140 ft and when i tested distance of this stock it shot about 180 ft accurate no lie! so imagine a stronger spring and a tightbore barrel and this badboy!

"Yes, to put a regular m16 handguard you will also need a delta ring I think. If you want a A2 why didnt you just get the M16A2 to begin with? The gun is a very reliable. The standard JG / Matrix / Echo1 quality you can trust and the pricing is amazing. (Used to pay $300 for marui VN, thats something most people won't understand today...)

"i am thinkin about gtin this gun. the only thing im kinda unsure the handgaurd. cn u replace it with a regular m16 forgrip? if so im gtin this gun. o nd does it break like mad easly?

"I highly suggest any one to get this gun because of the low price tag and because of the good performence of the gun i got 2 of them because of how good they are nothing can compeat with JG.

"If you want a handguard on this gun, just get the M16A2 or A4 instead. JG makes them too.

"Pretty much the same as the other JG M16's, it has high accuracy and is just a great gun. I put metal bushings and shims in this. Great gun for the money and can compete with high end AEGs.

"Rifle works well. The magazine it came with wouldn't feed BBs, and the guide it came with was insufficient for full disassembly. I couldn't give you specific details, considering I'm not exactly the most knowledgeable person when it comes to AEG specs, but I do recommend it.

"The rifle is definitely a quality product. I cannot make too many remarks on the internals of the gun, not really being the mechanical person myself, but it performs well. The gun also isn’t modular, but in my case I don’t need it to be.

However, when I received the rifle and had my chance to try it out, the HiCap magazine I got wasn’t functioning properly. Specifically, BBs would not load whenever I tried to wind the mag. This might be only be an anomaly on this specific order, but it was still a letdown.

My suggestion is buy the gun if you are looking for a cheap(er) reliable AEG.

"Great looking gun and fast rate of fire with an 11.6v Lipo. My only disappointment with this is the upper and lower receivers are plastic. I read several reviews here about this gun before buying it and some state that the receivers are all metal so I can only guess they are not talking about this specific gun as I since found out the all metal version is only being released this month (Aug 2018).

Other than that it is great but I will be having to look out for replacement metal receivers because of this misleading information.

"really good gun i just got mine and i was worried about the weight and all but it feels really nice in my hands i was pleasantly surprised about the fact that the gear box has a functioning bolt catch i kind didn't like that the tear drop front assembly didn't come off...i wanted to strap a grenade launcher in there but i bet i can figure something out also it wasn't come-early solid it did wiggle around bit but idk weather or not its something to worry about

"Great gun for beginners, I have uses this gun and overall it's great, only problem for me was it was really wobbly... but other than that, great gun and I would recommend it for starters.

"pretty good gun works well mine did have a part in the gearbox break after 8 months but I got a replacement part for 5 dollars easy fix (might just be mine) also the mag that came with it also broke could not hold the wind anymore so it would not feed shoots around 350-360 out of the box great for CQB not a very high fire rate but its accurate at up to 150 yards would recommend to anyone who has some experience in airsoft

pros
accurate
nice look
good construction
get what you pay for
nice battery compartment
good for CQB

cons
low fire rate
mostly plastic
gearbox not the best (can be upgraded)
some parts of mine broke most were not important

overall good gun rate this 4 out of 5

"I have had this gun for about two months now. I haven't had a single problem with it. The fps is pretty good about 370, the rof is crazy. the only thing i don't love about this gun is the hand guard, it feels like it will break when you first get it out of the box, but it is fine and haven't had any problems yet. This gun is awesome and for only $170 you can't go wrong.
