I just bought the GJ(Commando)/Echo 1 M16 A4 form airsoft G.I. It came in about 4-5 days after i bought it.

I've heard mixed things but i'm 99% sure that JG is stronger and cost less but E1 has a warranty .

Package

It came in a brown paper covered box. I was pretty confused when it wasn't GJ like they said but it said Commando but the instructions said Golden Eagle. Apparently GJ is now commando. Putting that aside its a standard looking package.

Inside The Box

Inside the box was set up very nicely. I eagerly opened it before taking the picture, sorry. It comes with an alright battery and charger. The rails and high cap mag comes with it. So that is always a plus. As always with Airsoftgi.com, a slip of paper saying they tested it and it had a good fps. The thing about this gun also is its weight. it weighs some where around 11-15 pounds. The but plate is Metal and is insanely hard to get open and put a battery in. They use a hop-up inside the ejection port reviled by the cocking handle.

Performance

I took this bad boy out for a spin. Lucky for me airsoft G.I tests and charges the battery before sending it so you know it will work. I unloaded 10-20 rounds before i had to spin the loader. it seems to be shooting pretty good. I was able to make shots form around 100 -125 feet.

Final

Overall its a good gun. it has mostly Metal parts expect for maybe the hand guard, the body and the stock. After about a week the semi stopped working and only used full auto. It also had a very minor barrel wobble.

PROs
- Relatively cheap
- High FPS for the price
- An RIS system built right in

CONs
- Heavy and long for smaller people
- Might get problems
- Battery is a pain in the arse to get into the stock

I give the gun a 8/10 for midrange AEGs
I would recommend this gun for any one in the 125$ price range and is looking for a assault gun or woodlands .

I don't think your pictures are working.

Metal is spelled metal by the way. Nice review though.

Please change "cheep" to cheap, you do that way too much.

The gun is made by JG (Jing Gong) which means Golden Eagle or some shit, not GJ. They just put Commando on the package to make it sound cooler to people like you.

Oops i accidentally messed up title and pasted it for the first paragraph.

I'm just wondering how you are 99% sure its more powerful than echo1. Do you or one of your friends own one that you compared it with?

Echo1=Better than JG

Using my amazing asian skillz, I translate Jing Gong into Golden Bow.

No way dam i wish i had crazy azn skills...

an iv heard every one saying jg is stronger then echo 1

Then they are wrong. Don't believe your n00b friends. Believe us. We are cooler.

The first batch of JG's fired much hotter than Echo 1's. The M16A2's were shooting around 400fps straight out of the box.

OH SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIT. I am right?

First batch =/= current batch. Plus, if I remember correctly, Echo's were shooting pretty hot at first as well.

You have a point. I emailed ASGI to see if they could let me in on some chrono results from Echo 1's and JG. As none of us have actual experience chronoing these guns. I will post their reply when I recieve it.

Because of double feed problems at operation Vigilance, I was forced to use a JG M16A1. Oh good Lord this thing was shitty. The tip of the barrel could manage moving half an inch by the end of the day if not more. The accuracy was shitty. When chronoing at check in, the chrono showed 285 fps, not this bullshit 340 we all hear about.

? this is the a4 iv put about 10,00 through and no problems

And what is your point, I put more than that through the A1 at Vig. They share the same internals.

Hawk was it a rental or something?

Probably, I had experience with all these clones at my old job, they aren't as bad as what Hawk is saying, but they aren't close to any other AEG out there... if you are buying a clone, it better be well made or worth the money in externals (i.e. the Unicorn AKS-74u...)

We chronoed this same exact thing at 305 at my store... no where close to the 340 and it was an "Echo 1" which is just rebranded..

-Blink

Yeah, it was a rental, and no, it was as bad as I said.

Just a heads up on terminology, saying "receiver" instead of body makes it sound better.
