Review of Jing Gong G36c

                   I thought it was time to review my  JG G36C.

                                  

Here is a little info on Jing Gong

Jing Gong (JG), a Chinese Airsoft Manufacturer, has been producing some very impressive Airsoft Guns lately. Mostly Tokyo Marui and Classic Army Clones, Jing Gong has raised the bar on producing the sub-$200 airsoft gun, with some models coming in right around the $100 range. The Jing Gong G36c (G608) is no exception to this line of quality airsoft gun. Priced under $120, this Airsoft gun is worth every dime.

When you first observe the gun you'll notice there is nothing flashy about the packaging, which is typical of the Jing Gong airsoft gun product line. Once you open the ordinary black box you'll realize there is nothing boring about this gun. The Jing Gong G608 is a great clone of both the TM and CA G36 airsoft rifles. Jing Gong insists you can use any Tokyo Marui, SRC, and Classic Army airsoft in this AEG. I can confirm that these airsoft magazines will work in this gun.

 

The Gun comes with everything you need to get started: 8.4v 1100maH mini-battery, wall charger, Hi-Cap magazine, a starter supply of BBs, a manual, and a clearing rod. The gun itself weighs in at 6lbs (Gun, battery, and empty magazine), and is very well-balanced. It is built out of heavy-duty Nylon ABS plastic and has a solid folding stock for CQB situations. The overall body design is tight, with minimal seams, and no wobble. Metal parts include: flash hider, iron sights, selector switch, and charging handle. The battery fits into the foregrip, which is easily removed by pulling out a single metal pin and sliding forward. The foregrip space is pretty tight so you might be limited to a 1400mah battery without the use of an external PEQ box. We only tested with the included battery. The weapon sports a top and bottom weaver rail for mounting your favorite airsoft gear. Over all, the build, durability and design are pretty close to the higher end Tokyo Marui, SRC, and Classic Army G36 Series Airsoft electric guns.

The Jing Gong G36C (G608) comes with a 470-round high-capacity wind-up type airsoft magazine. It's constructed of solid ABS plastic and has the stackable pegs on both sides so you can clip another magazine to it. This is great for easy quick magazine reloads in battle. The airsoft magazine that comes with this AEG is TM compatible.

 On this model Jing Gong uses metal gears and metal bushings (earlier models had plastic bushings). Additional internals include a plastic spring guide and a plastic, vented piston head (for a better O-ring seal). The result is consistent FPS. The rest of the internals are identical to the TM and SRC G36 model. The wiring is 16 gauge.

 (Note: all of our performance testing was done with Tokyo Marui .2g BBs) - The Jing Gong G36c is louder than most, but we prefer that because it tends to intimidate people on the skirmish field. I ran this gun through the Guarder 2000 Chrono. How did it do? FPS ranged from 345 to 355 feet per second (FPS), and rate of fire was around 900 rounds per minute. Accuracy is decent out to about 125 feet, and the hop up holds a flat trajectory when set properly. I were easily able to hit a soda can at 125-150 feet. Use of .23g or .25g BBs may increase the accuracy of this airsoft gun. I shot four full magazines through the G608, varying the Semi-Auto setting. I only had one gearbox lock up, which was easily remedied by putting the gun on full-Auto and firing off a few rounds to line the gears back up. Overall handling is a dream. It's no wonder the Airsoft G36C design is enjoying so much popularity these days.
