    You cant go wrong with JG for there price,and the MP5 is a lovely looken gun imo,but not the A2 version with fixed stock.
    I'm thinking of getting one myself if i have enough money to cover my M16:P

    To be honest if Eirsoft stock it, its a good gun.
    I trust the quality of anything I buy from Tony and the lads at Eirsoft.

    I personally don't really like the look of the MP5 SD (although it is growing on me), but I have used the JG version and I can't fault it at all.
    And I would also recommend buying from Eirsoft.

    I agree, not my favourite MP5 but it is very "SWAT-ish".

    i disagree (ask horse why)

    you get what you pay for - in my opinion, i would pass the deal and go for an m4 and change the stock

    Mind if I ask you? I find JG gear to be among the most reliable of any brand, regularly out performing and/or out lasting high end veteran brands like TM or KA costing three times the price

    i didn't try all the brands, as i'm not the kind of person that goes around and buy stuff until i'm satisfied - that said, means i never owned a JG but i used them before...

    ... from the last 3 i saw, 2 weren't performing good at all (even though the other one seemed perfect to me) - horse had loads of problems with his and i believe he got a different one in the meantime and the problems remained...

    ... i said this millions of times and i'll say it once more: "you'll say 'give me the cheapest', i'll say 'you get what you paid for'"

    my .02, if it matters at all...

    Were the three in question rentals by any chance? I ask because a good number of sites use JG rifles for their rental stock as they're so reliable. However, rentals get abused more than any other type of gun (oh man do I have stories about rental abuses).

    Now, I'm a bit of a G36 fan. In saying that, I actually have one of each variant. All started life as high end brands TM and CA (the CA one was bought about three years ago, back when CA wasn't interchangeable with the word "turd"). All but one are now using a JG gearbox, nicked right out of a JG G36c which I bought specifically just to swap the box out of. The one that hasn't been done yet, soon will be. They were swapped because the JG box was superior and more reliable in every characteristic.

    You don't always get what you pay for, especially in airsoft. Often times you can be overcharged for something that's useless (see CA for details on that one) and just as often you can get a gem for next to nothing.
    Army 1911 MEU's and Kalash AK's with full steel bodies and proper wooden furniture are perfect examples of that. Both are ridiculously cheap by comparison to their high end counterparts, look and feel great and, crucially, have near spotless reliability records so far.

    Nothing in life can really have its quality judged by its price tag. You'll pay several years wages for a really nice Alfa, but you'll spend another few years of it fixing the damn thing. Yet you can head out and spend a fraction of the money on a Toyota or a Honda and drive the thing until there's no roads left, then turn around and drive back.
    A one apartment to rent in Dublin city for 2k a month? Doesn't mean it's palatial. It might be (and likely is) a hovel with a hot plate. Head half an hour out the road and you'll get two good houses for that. Head west and you actually could get something palatial near one of the cities.
