When I first decided to buy a decent airsoft gun I combed site after site, and read review after review so that I could start to form an opinion as to what i wanted. My second step was to go to my wife and ask her for a budget (any married guys out there will know why I did this), she told me $200. So I decided to maximize my budget and try to find a good gun and a few accessories (I ended up with a vest and a face mask).
I had originally looked at a G&G combat machine M4 but as luck would have it (non-supporting retailer) was sold out, but they had a portion of their site called "what else is there" that I started to read. In their article they had talked about the JG M4 enhanced so I started looking at it. After 2 or 3 nights of sleeping on it I decided that this was the gun I wanted and I clicked purchase.
Upon receiving the gun I panicked, the box didn't say JG, but instead it said "Golden Eagle" airsoft on it (10 minutes of research and a phone call later I discover that they are the same company). The gun was well packaged, with ample foam packaging and a foam "lid" over the gun in between it and the cardboard. The gun's body is a dark gray versus its black stock and black hand guard, its body was solid with no wobble and it came with a standard orange flash suppressor. It came with an 8.4v 1600mah battery and a full metal Hi-Cap magazine. Now this is my first high quality gun so I immediately threw the battery in it (it came charged), filled the mag with the bb's it came with and stepped outside. That first trigger pull was bliss, a crisp and clean pop pop pop and the little cardboard target I set up had holes, my boys and I are cheering and my wife thinks we're dorks
.
I've gotten to play a couple backyard games and a small 4 or 5 hour trigger day with 3 members of NOVA, my son, and a friend and his son. So far the only problem I've had is the retainer screw in my stock fell out but that took 3 minutes rooting around in my junk drawer to fix (I had a small screw that fit). I would say that I can accurately and with iron sites reliably hit a target 70 yards away 8 out of 10 shots. The gun goes through soda cans and watermelons (yeah, that was fun) like a champ and probably spits about 15 rps. The only thing I'd like to get for it is a holo sight and a 9.6v battery.
All in all I love this gun, I've got to shoot far more high end guns and Im still happy with mine. This gun will be with me for my outside games (its WAY to hot for cqb) for years to come.
Im going to try to post some pics for you guys
I hope these work, I have horrible luck with posting pics.
