I just recieved my JG G36c 2011 but it came in a Asia electric gun package and has the wrong flashhider. How can I confirm that its a JG without opening it up? (Don't have any experience with that.)
Update I've read that AEG is the new JG. Can anyone confirm that?

Does it look like that? If so, time to send an angry email to whoever sent it to you.
Can you elaborate on that? What is that?
That's the Asia Electric Gun G36c, which is, to my knowledge, different and lower quality from the JG G36c 2011.
Well shit...fucking evike
Evike is great for parts, but NEVER buy full guns from them =(
that really sucks... sorry bro :/
It appears that I've been sent an Asia Electric Gun g36c instead of my JG G36c version 2011...What now? Demand full refund? (gun, shipping and toll.) Can I really get that? Because the shipping and toll is as much or more as the cost for the gun itself. Incase I have to keep it to save money is this gun any good?
I would call, explain the situation, and ask for a refund + return shipping. I've never had issues with their customer service when I've called.
It is possible that it is still a JG, just rebranded to this Asia Electric Gun - the packaging looks similar.
Damnit. So much hassle. Waiting 3 weeks for the gun to ship, paying 255USD and then it's not even the right gun...FML
Don't buy a JG.
JG g36's are fine in reality, they are a good cheap starter gun with a reliable hop up system and rather sturdy gearbox
In my experience, every single JG (including the g36) has just been some of the worst pieces of airsofting equipment I've ever encountered. Seriously, nothing but extremely unreliable garbage. Mags constantly misfeed, gun jams, gears strip and the lot. My team and I have had nothing but just awful things to say about JG.
Give me that awful clear plastic walmart pistol that shoots .12s. It could probably out preform JG and It'll probably last longer too.
I have a JG ak and a g36, both have more rounds than i can remember through them, my primary is a g&g SCAR-L now, but my JG's still run regardless.
They may have gotten better since you last bought one. Of course they're nothing top-notch, but the current ones aren't too bad for the money. In my experience it seems to be more of a hit and miss depending on what you buy. I've seen some of their mags feed perfectly fine and some feed like complete crap. As for build quality, obviously nothing great, but they're the only ones I've ever seen put a double o-ring cylinder head as a stock piece (was in my friend's JG AUG A3) and some of their parts aren't bad if you're just looking to get out and play.
On the other end my other friend bought a JG G36K and found out the inner barrel was basically the same as the G36C one despite the extra outer barrel length. He also found out his outer barrel was bent after playing it at one game (not because he smacked it against a tree or anything). A week after that he started having selector switch problems and gave up. He bought a ICS M4A1 instead.
Thank you for your input but my decision stands. I'm going to get a JG. I've almost exclusivly heard nice things about their G36 and it fits my pricerange. In sweden we pay an extra 33% for tax (plus toll) so anything more expensive would blow a hole in my bankaccount faster than you could blink.
Why order from a US based distributor if you're in Sweden? Why not airsoft Scotland or a European distributor?
I couldn't find a website that sold the JG G36c 2011. Most places still had the old or the new ones were out of stock. I found a swedish site that had the 2011 version a few days ago though >_> Kinda pissed me off that I hadn't noticed them before.
Asia electric gun is a HK based assembler company, thought to be a sister company that JG set up when china cracked down on airsoft factories.
EDIT: Just checked the evile link http://www.airsoftpost.com/product_info.php?cPath=21_44_222&products_id=27598 notice the fact that AEG is mentioned twice a lot, the first time it is referring to asia electric guns, and the second time it is referring to the proper acronym. evike seems to affiliate JG with AsiaEG and their OEM affiliations tend to be correct in my experience.
Evike also seems to think S&T and Ares are the same company. Referring to the PPSH models, the S&T clearly looks like a cheap clone of the Ares.
S&T used to be a subcontractor of STAR while it was separate from ARES. if was formed before the Chinese airsoft crackdowns and doesn't really do much, ARES quit manufacturing for star and later successively bought STAR. When STAR's main manufacturer quit making guns, STAR contracted S&T. S&T was china based and got killed off by the china airsoft crackdown at just the wrong time. S&T barely survived, but couldn't keep making items for STAR, and STAR gave into ARES, ARES didn't keep s&t around.
All of this is to the best of my information and some of it might have errors, you try following Chinese politics. If you know what happened in that entire mess better do tell me.
They're certainly similar, but if you're looking at an Ares PPsh vs and S&T, the externals on the s&t are way inferior to the Ares. Evike tries to say tge two guns are the same, but it's not true when the Ares has much better externals. Matte Black =/= Stamped Steel
Take a pic. Let us see it.
