G&G A.E.G. is truly today's "TOP OF THE LINE" A.E.G. First Impression: For anyone that have ever seen an G&G A.E.G., have the gun and the box in hand, G&G AEG are no doubt guns with the BEST finish in terms of the external finish on the guns, material used and on their packaging. Their appearance and quality is solid. In a material comparison report showed that G&G uses MUCH higher quality material than other leading brands such as Classic Army. Real Fire Arm History this AEG modelled after: M16 (more formally United States Rifle, Caliber 5.56 mm, M16) is the U.S. military designation for a family of rifles derived from the ArmaLite AR-15 and further developed by Colt starting in the mid-20th century. The M16 rifle family including the M16/A1/A2/A3/A4 has been the primary infantry rifle of the United States military since the 1960s. With its variants, it has been in use by 15 NATO countries, and is the most produced firearm in its caliber. The M16 entered Army service in 1964. Internals: G&G uses more reinforcement internal parts than all leading brands. Tight bore barrel, metal bushing, reinforced piston, full metal hopup chamber, 25000rpm high torque motor, reinforced steel gear set, and reinforced gearbox are standards of all G&G AEG. (These reinforcement parts will normally cost you at least $200 or more on a Classic Army or Marui.). Which is why all G&G AEG comes with a 30 day warranty and full factory support. The manufacture stand behind their products unlike many other brands. The most important part of all, G&G internal is compatible with majority of the after market replacement and reinforced parts unlike Classic Army AEG (where most of the time you can only use cheap made in china parts exclusive manufactured by classic army). Performance: Consistent power output. Due to the built in tight bore barrel, it is more accurate and have better grouping than AEG with stock barrel. (High quality bb such as Matrix, Excel, Marui recommended for all tight bore barrels). Great Range and power. Conclusion: There are many great value made in China A.E.G. out there for Airsoft starters, but once you are no longer a starter and you want an A.E.G. that will last, is consistent and something that is "TOP OF THE LINE", this G&G A.E.G. is your choice. Five years ago Tokyo Marui was the "TOP OF THE LINE", but due to Japan's regulations, they cannot have metal bodies and they do not offer reinforced internals since the power output is regulated in Japan. | AEG Shopping Guide | | Manufacture | MARUI | G&G | Classic Army | JG / ECHO 1 | | Origin | Japan | Taiwan | China | China | | Overall Finish / Quality Control | 10 | 10 | 6 | 6 | | Warranty / Factory Support | None | 30 days | None | 14 days | | Price Range | $200~400 | ~$200~400 | ~$200~400 | $100~160 | | Gearbox and Material (Reliability out of 10) | 9 | 9 | 6 | 7 | | Power (Average) | 280 FPS | 350 FPS | 300~330 FPS | 360 FPS | | Compatibility (Will it work with Systema, Matrix, G&P, Guarder and other after market upgrade parts?) | Yes. | Yes. | No. CA Only. | Yes. | |
