JG MP5A3 SWAT any good?

[steverebo]

So I'm now looking to buy myself a second gun aimed more towards cqb and I've seen the JG MP5A3 SWAT and wondered if anyone owns or has had a play with one as I cannot find any reviews anywhere and I'm after an honest option of build quality and reliability ect

It's a clone of a TM if you get the metal receiver version it's surprisingly heavy. standard V2 gear box so no parts availability issues. it's a work horse gun nothing special JG hasn't done anything to them since they started selling them 15/16 years ago.. having a check all UK retailers are massively over charging for them they should be £100ish. really want Taiwangun to start shipping to the UK again.

Cheers, the price of my local retailer is £175 so a lot more than £100.

 

In the description it stated metal and polymer mix I think it's a metal upper polymer lower. 

 

Was going to grab one for some cqb as my m4 is too bulky and chrono's well over the Epsom tunnels 330 limit
