How crappy or not are jg plastic bodies?

I think the likes of the g&g raiders have forced the cheaper brands to up their games. Also the likes of valken, (dare I say it?)nuprol and specna arms into the begginer markets are giving people plenty of options for cheapish guns that aren't total crap. As for jg. Judgeing by what I've seen on you tube the Americans seem to love them

I forgot to mention!

When you pick up your nuts and bolts grab some electrical insulation tape.

When you have the correct balance and know the number of nuts on the bar a few wraps of the tape will give you something to shim and hold the weight in the buffer tube.

Cheers. Picking it up tonight and playing, it is really front heavy. Looks like I'm off to the DIY shops at some point.

I’ll be honest a lot of my buys are aesthetically driven , I’m not adverse to dropping a lot of beer tokens on a gun (if I can of course) but a LOT of the time it’s the looks that matter to me , take the evo for instance by all accounts an awsome gun but I’ll never ever have one as I really don’t like it’s look . So as my style of play is 95% single shot with the odd burst of auto now and again as long as I can sort the range and accuracy(and new hop rubber and nub sorts that most of the time) then it’s not that much of a biggy on the rate of fire/general running of a gun to me . I don’t buy in to the whole trigger response/rate of fire/mosfet debate that’s always raging so again not important to me . Over the yrs I’ve had a few Jing Gong guns and none of them have ever let me down at all so I’m a fan of them . 

I’d say yes some of the ‘cheaper’ brands are definitely stepping up there game to compete with the big boys .

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, in the end, it's ultimately about looks for me too.
