NOTE-Rating as an INTERMEDIATE gun.

Okay-So this is the 3rd JG airsoft rifle I have owned so far. An AK47, an M4, and this M16A1. I've owned this one for almost 5 years and I'm sure some minor modifications have been made and perhaps the motor has gone up a generation since then. JG's have a few things about them that I just loved right out of the box. Sadly, this one missed the boat on all save the butt and the FPS/Accuracy. The butt plate and the butt stock are excellent quality, and the same used on the M4 model I have. The fore stock-a giant, hollow, thin, cheap pair of plastic shells the wiggle side to side around the barrel. Nope... Cheap. That's and issue that plagues the JG M16/M4 design. The collar where the fore stock meets the receiver is simply crap. The receiver is cheap plastic and the rear sight is poorly seated in this, which brings me to the motor. The motor for both my M4 and the M16A1 lasted 3 years of minimal use before freezing-WITH routine maintenance. Even properly oiled, they gave up the ghost and locked up.
Okay! So I've been pretty harsh on this guy-mainly because of all 3 JG's I bought, this one was the cheapest. (Quality wise) Now here is why I bought this thing in the first place. JG's do have solid accuracy for an intermediate airsoft rifle. The FPS aren't cut down to crappy 300-360s like most garbage on the market. If you want to hit something at over 50 yards, you need the FPS to do so. JG out of the box has given 400+FPS every. time. Non-competitive players will argue that close quarters demand low FPS to be safe. First, if you're afraid of pain, you're in the wrong sport. Second, if you're planning on airsofting with intermediate or competition guns, your safety equipment must also rise to the occasion.
Summary: IF you're determined to buy this gun-do as I did. Buy some quality gun wrap and wrap the front half. It reduced the rattle and made it feel more quality. Wanna get extreme, find a filling for the hollow fore stock. Next, be prepared to buy a backup gearbox. The motor should be just fine.

Pros:
Good motor, battery, butt assembly, and front site.
Strong FPS, reasonable accuracy.

Cons:
Trashy fore stock, rear site, and receiver assembly.
Weak gearbox prone to freezing.
