This weapon is an Automatic Electric Gun. It uses an 8.4V Mini-Type Battery (An 8.4v 1100mAh Battery is included.)
Cost & Place of Purchase:
I purchased this gun from my local Airsoft retailer, Combat South, Hampshire, United Kingdom).
Introduction:
First Impressions: When I opened the box at the store, I was immediately impressed. I have had a brief look at this gun before but had never looked at it in detail. I live in the UK and I am not currently a registered skirmisher as I am only 16. Because of this, my gun had to be painted “Two-Tone”. Despite the semi-blue paint job, I was very happy with the look. I had a quick hold of the gun and then took it home.
I connected the battery as soon as I was in, and had a few test shots. I was very happy with the performance of the gun. I had my gun downgraded to around 330fps in order to comply with site restrictions. The power of this gun is excellent. It really does have great power behind it. I was also very impressed with the rate of fire. I already had a VP 8.4v 1500mAh battery charged so I therefore used this. This has a very high ROF for a stock gun so I was very happy overall.
Looks: After a few shots I had a very detailed look of the exterior of the gun. This gun is made mainly of ABS plastic and is very, very sturdy indeed. There are no trademarks on the receiver of this gun, although personally I don’t need trademarks on my guns. The only two parts of the exterior that are inferior quality are the cocking handle (used to reveal hop-up) and the magazine. The cocking handle is very flimsy and needs to be taken care of, but if you treat it well it will last. The magazine is also made of a cheaper plastic, but it does feed very well so I cannot see this as a problem.
Metal Parts: Although the majority of the gun is made from very strong, robust ABS plastic there are a number of metal parts on this gun.
These include: Flash-Hider, Front Sling Point, Lower RIS Rail, Front and Rear Sights, Trigger, Selector Switch, Stock Lock/Release Button, The Bottom Pistol Grip Cover (Motor Cover), And Hop-Up Cover.
Performance: I have not had a chance yet to carry out tests of the performance, from what I have seen from firing though it is very good. This has three fire selection modes: Safety, Semi-Automatic, and Full Automatic. This is a very accurate gun in both semi and automatic firing modes. This gun is also very powerful and has an excellent Rate of Fire. When I have carried out multiple tests I shall write an update.
Features:
Included in the box:
• The Gun
• 8.4v 1100mAh NiMH Mini-Type Battery
• 250Ah Plug In, Fast Wall charger (Avoid using this, and purchase a smart charger)
• One 470 Round Hi-Capacity Magazine
• Un-Jamming Rod
• Small Pack Of 200 BB’s (I would not recommend using)
This gun has a number of features. The gun has a folding stock, ideal for use in CQB environments if you find you do not want the stock open. The stock on this gun is very, very study when it is locked into place open or folded. It is also extremely sturdy whilst in the process of folding it. There really is no wobble.
The G36c features two excellent iron sights. The rear sight has to flip-up apertures for either longer or shorter range shooting. This iron sight is easily adjusted for windage and elevation using a small Allen key. The selector switch is fully functioning and is made of metal. It has a very smooth action, and clicks firmly into place. I did pick up on the fact that the selector markings actually have a hint of orange in them rather than the usual red colour.
The G36c also features a large MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny (RIS) rail, which is situated on top of the carry handle. This is excellent for mounting a scope/sight and I have purchased a G&P 1X30 Reflex Red Dot Scope. This sight is an excellent addition to this gun and also looks at home on this weapon.
The battery included with this gun is a Shuang Ba 8.4v 1100mAh Nickel Metal Hydrate (NiMH) Mini-Type Battery. I have heard mixed feedback on Chinese batteries, but I must say this has been excellent so far. It holds its charge very well which I was fairly surprised at, as I have heard the Chinese batteries tend not to last as long. I strongly recommend purchasing another battery as a spare simply because you do not want a battery running flat during a skirmish.
The charger included with this gun is, in my opinion, pretty low quality. I have not actually used it because it is much more sensible to purchase a ‘smart charger’ which have peak detection and auto cut-off features. You cannot really expect much from the charger as it is included with the gun and is just a cheap, plug in wall charger. It comes with a 2 Pin Euro adapter, so those in other countries such as the UK would have to use a shaver adapter. From the feedback I have heard about it, it is quite unreliable and to be honest it is not worth ruining good, expensive batteries when you could purchase a better charger. If you respect your equipment, it will respect you in return.
Internals:
I have not yet disassembled this gun yet, but I have heard great things about the internals. This is the latest, Version 3 and I believe it comes with 7mm metal ball bearings/bushings. A while ago I saw in a thread that “The new Jing Gong G36c Version 3 (V3) has excellent high torque motor, black reinforced gearbox made with better quality metal, Steel CA gears, and generally better internals all around.”
I have only made one replacement to the internals and that was a simple spring change carried out in-store. This is because the 350fps + is far ‘too hot’ for UK site limits. Most UK woodland sites have a limit of 350fps and Urban Sites 330fps. This downgrade also means other internals will be put under less stress and is overall a very beneficial downgrade. I believe the gearbox may have been re-greased in-store whilst it was being downgraded, but other than that I plan to make no upgrades just yet except for a simple re-shim and re-grease for example in the near future.
Magazine:
The magazine included with this gun is actually very good. It is made of a lower quality, and cheaper plastic than the rest of the gun, but it should stand up well. The magazine had fed perfectly for all the times I have used my gun. The capacity of this hi-cap magazine is 470 Rounds. This is a perfect size as it is not too small but on the other hand it is not too large. The magazine is very easy to load. As with all other Hi-Caps, all that needs to be done is a small door at the top of the magazine to be opened. The BB’s can then be poured easily into the magazine ready for winding.
Conclusion:
In conclusion I feel that this is an excellent gun. It is of excellent construction and it has all the features and quality of the Tokyo Marui equivalent, but at a fraction of a price. I would recommend this gun to anyone whether you are an avid Airsofter wanting a new gun for your armoury, or just a new skirmisher looking for a first gun. Overall this is a brilliant gun and I have been delighted with my purchase.
(Image of my gun after the spray paint job, and yes, it is legal)
I have in fact replaced one part of my gun, and that is the fuse. The 15 Amp 'Glass' Fuse included with the gun is in fact made of a cheap plastic and cracks very easily. Mine cracked so I had to replace mine, but I strongly recommend to all owners to replace it straight away as cracking during a skirmish would not be good!
Another thing I changed, as you can see in the final picture of my review was the paint job of the gun. I conducted extensive research and found out that it is legal to modify or change a two-toned gun, as long as it is used for the correct purposes and at a skirmish site that has PLI Insurance.

First, please keep in mind that this is not going to be an in-depth review, and won't even have pictures.
I got my G36c July of last year. So far it's held up nicely. The only things that have worn down are the finish (slightly - just where your hands go), and one of the tabs holding the hop-up in place broke off (been meaning to fix it, but for now a rubber band does the job).
Externally, it's built of solid ABS and pot metal. The rear sight is adjustable for windage and elevation and has two apertures - a small circle, and a slightly larger circle. I didn't like the iron sights, so the day after I got it, I went out and bought a BSA red dot.
Stock and magazine wobble are sometimes an issue on airsoft rifles and their real-steel counterparts, but that is not so on this G36c. The stock locks in two ways - a small hook between the stock and the receiver, and a big chunk of pot metal by the button you press to close the stock. The magazine feeds well and holds 470 rounds last I checked. Doesn't wobble at all.
Internally, it's a metal V3 gearbox with pale yellow polycarb parts (cylinder head, piston, spring guide, tappet plate), some black polycarb parts (piston head and air nozzle), a set of XYT standard-ratio gears (can handle up to an M110 on a 9.6v for a very long time), and a motor that is either a really weak high-torque motor (maxes out at M130), or a really slow high speed motor. Anyway, it gives about 13 BPS on an 8.4v stock, and around 16 BPS on a 9.6v. If you put a mini 9.6v in the front and collapse the stock and fire it like it's a pistol, it kinda climbs up a bit, which I found entertaining when I hadn't slept for 23 hours. Back on topic - the hop-up assembly is made of slick ABS, has a rubber hop-up nub, a decent hop-up bucking, and a terrible barrel. Barrel replacement should be your first priority with this gun (I recommend Prometheus). I put in a Matrix barrel (I was short on cash) and it can shoot to a decent distance now.
If you want a better review of this, see the one I have at Airsoft-Barracks (I'm under the same name there) ... it's way more in depth than any you'll see in this section.------------------------------ Some people call me stupid. Some people call me arrogant. Some people call me immature. Bah, I'm just eccentric.
