Need exp airsoft opinion!
 

I am looking to buy a G 36 and I have a couple offers. I need help to figure out which one is a better deal/quality/playability.

The first is a JG G36, 5 mid cap mags, two batterys, sling, and case. 550$

The second Is a TM G36 with spare Hi Cap and battery, 500$

The third Is a Classic Army G36, with 9.6 volt batt one point sling,Stock internals except for metal bushings and a tightbore barrel.
One CA hicap mag and one TM midcap mag
Private parts G36/M4 magwell conversion included. 310 FPS 550$

Any and all help would be apprectiated!

I don't know much about G36 series but I would sway towards the TM for these reasons:
1. Reliable internals
2. Normally people buy a CA for the metal body, but in the case of the G36 it is not a metal body like it's real steel counter part, and CA's internals can be questionable at times.

I would choose the Toyko Marui G36. The Jing-Jong is a replica of the TM G36, so your basicually getting a lesser quality TM G36. Also make sure to buy a charger! Battery is no good without a good charger!

I would say go to Classic Army G36 since it already pre-upgrade plus the quality of Classic Army and TM is not big different also you got the private part mag well which you can use M4 magazines, also the tight bore which give more accuracy. go CA G36, you won't be wrong.

For a G36, I'd completely recommend the TM

I've heard other folks say the externals on the CA G36 are the best of the bunch.

TM or CA...I'd lean towards the CA.

BUT...I'd go based on the seller. Not just the trader rating, but based on how good/complete/quick/understandable their comms were. How forth coming they are with a contact number and real information. I'd also look at their other posts...if they guy writes like a jerk, they're probably a jerk.

Local is always better...so if you get a chance to see/handle it first...there'll be less chance of any issues buying it.

If it's been worked over...ask who did it and contact them.

Best of luck,

Tys

Classic Army G36 all the way.
CA makes one of the best airsoft G36 on the market today.
CA G36 line have glass fiber body, unlike TM and JG ABS construction.

TM internals will run you longer as per the CA externals are nice.. but I had a TM G36 and pushed it to 380fps for a couple years and it ran flawless. TM imho from experience is great. CA has crappy pistons

CA all the way. You start with a much stronger glass fibre body, plus a reinforced mechbox and hardened gears. CA internals are a lot better than some people give them credit for. Current generation CAPart are good quality. And even if you had to replace the "problematic" parts, they're all cheap and readily available.

go for the classic army g36 ive handled both the TM and the CA and i much prefer my CA. externals are amazing and the only things to break on it so have been after market parts lol. and ive been running it at 398 fps for a year.

TM

I been playing with my TM G36C since i started airsoft.
love it
CA = Crappy army IMO
JG = you can buy a new one for 300-350 $ the only thing extra you get with it are the mags.

but if i was you i would stick with the TM

can't go wrong with a TM

As far as playabilty I would say CA although TM is nice once you Have played for awhile you realize that TM although really good is missing a few things like out of the boxpower its not there fault the guns can handle it. Just dosnt have the power of CA. The TM will last longer without breaking MAYBE! Its a chance you take with all airsoft guns.

If these 2 a both bnib or lnib then the real choice is what are you looking for a reliable name TM or the power? If one is newer than the other I say no questions unless you want to open them up and fix em go with the one with less rounds through it.

Course my options are mute if your planning on making upgrades soon.

Also the CA is worth it with having the converter so you can borrow mags on the field if needed. EX mid fight you run out of ammo LOL. :)

I personally own the CA G36. I'm extremely happy with it, and as mentioned it's not full Metal but Fiberglass and Metal pieces.

My Experiences with my gun only:

I've done some additions to mine, and nice thing is that most pieces whether it comes from a G36C, G36K will fit with no or minor modifications. Only gripe I have is the G36 does not come with any rails (nor does it's real counterpart) and the only addition is a Night Scope that'll run you into the 000's and I don't even know if there is a mock version.

It Chronies about 280fps, stock so internal upgrades will likely be needed.

Last point is battery on my CA G36. I had to go w/ a 8.4v 4500mAh battery to keep it going all day. Either that or you need a none custom made battery. all custom made batteries either 8.4 or 9.6 would not fire this gun over more then 5 times. Of course getting the larger battery pack required a change to the ButtStock to accomoade the sub C batteries.

My two cents.

well I have owned a tm and it worked flawlessly i was able to upgrade byond the limits in a test and it shot 520 lol but i completely upgraded the mechbox and needed a min of a 9.6v

the one drawback to all g36 is the battery space

Then you have something wrong with your gun, that's not normal! Don't put ideas into his head that he doesn't need to think about.

On the metal side track don't forget the real deal is pretty much all "plasic" anyways.

Classic Army G36 all the way. I've compared it to both the Jg and TM G36s, and the CA one beats them hands down for external quality. And I mean by a lot.

The internals are very good also. I fired over 25,000 rounds through mine without any failure. CA internals have come a really long way. I'd say at this point they're pretty damned close to TM. Definetly better than JG. Mine also chronied 315 stock, which is stock CA.

I've run my stock CA36 on a 8.4v, 1500mah mini all day. Check the quality of your wires.

I have the Classic Army and I love it. Running it off an 8.4v 1600mah battery, 2 will last half a day of straight shooting. Upgrades and extras aren't too hard to find, about the same availability as with TM parts.

wow all the feed back is incredible, I think ill probly go with the CA, just wondering what it will take to run it to 350-380 fps. Thanks again!

You forgot to mention that the JG comes with a G36K conversion kit, as well as a sling, it's in the same city as you.. and that it's been upgraded :P

I've seen the JG G36 you're talking about and it is a good gun that's worth it... Ask anyone... Me saying that a JG is a good gun is a VERY rare occasion.

G36
 

In his Pm it didnt say anything about upgrades, sorry, and I didnt know about the Conversion kit either...now that thats come to light....dammit this is hard lol.

Whenever something like this happens the correct response it to get all three.

Well, Go check out the G36 in person before making a decision. The G36 is the one thing that JG does right... And this one's been taken care up and pre-upgraded.

I chrono'd it and it's shooting 380 +/- 5 FPS.. And there's no way a stock JG could be that consistent.

I'd recommend the CA over any of the other ones, it seems to just be better built/looks better. Plus it doesnt seem to have the trigger problem that JG experience.

if you have no experience playing airsoft before, then go with TM, cause then you can run and gun immediately. If the CA comes with internal upgrades, than buy that; that way you have no worries about it failing. If you dont mind upgrading your gun from the get go, then get a CA. Take me for example, i played with a stock gun for a year. I bought TM cause i new that stock, it would work forever. Now since i now how stock guns last and such, i upgrade them immediately. So i dunno, hopefully that gives you some idea of it all.

Normally I'd agree, but the stock quality of the CA36 is amazing. I honestly can't think of any case where I'd recommend the TM one over the CA.

Thanks
 

Thanks for all of your help, CA it is. Your comments were all helpfull!
