Jing Gong

Plenty of airsoft careers started with a JG. Jing Gong, also known as JG or Golden Bow, was founded in 1986 in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong, and builds AEGs for the entry and mid-price bracket. Its designs follow proven Japanese mechanics, so spare and upgrade parts are easy to source, and the company also works as an OEM manufacturer for other brands.

The range is broad and firmly military in flavour. The PM5 series spans A5, J, SD5, SD6 and K CQB variants, many in full metal and with semi-auto only options, joined by the JG36 RAS SD, the G3SG1, an M16A1 and the AK47s. Fans of the Austrian bullpup get A3 and A4 versions plus a 300-round magazine. The compact V-61 comes with its own hop-up units, gear sets and 100-round magazines, and for bench work there are MP5 gearboxes and metal M4 hop-up units.
