Questions about my first gun I'm gunna order

[Lechimp89]

Ok, first don't flame me just cause I'm new.
I am thinking of getting a JG G3 SG1 as my first gun. I wanna get this cause it's cheap (well for an airsoft rifle), comes with a bipod and it looks awesome! But I have some questions I need the answers to first, so I would be grateful to anyone who can help me out.
1: Could I mount a red dot sight on it?
2: It says that it comes with a battery then it has a picture of the battery type and then says required (Not included), but it says this on most guns so do I need to buy a battery or does it come with one?
3: what type of BB's does it take?
Thanks again to anyone that helps!

1:Not directly on it's own
You will need to invest in a rail mount to put it on, providing the dot sight comes with a ring, I'd advise the low profile TM G3/MP5 mount as they look by far the best.

2: Most guns you will need to buy a battery, G3 SG1 take tamiya type large 8.4 batteries. It Should come in 2 rows of 3 then one sideways at the end.

3: My advice is use 0.25g 6mm BBs. They may not fly as fast but you will be able to hit people from a further distance. If you can source them, get KSC Perfects.

Failing that, get The ZeroOne BB's they're pretty good and cheap.


Other advice, if you're getting into airsoft and you aren't a tall chap, consider something a bit shorter the G3 SG1 is a bit of a hefalump though bloody accurate.

And you may like the idea of the bipod, but by past experience it will probably loosen and fall off within a few skirmishes

i had the SG1 as my first gun
it is more suited to woodland.
but makes a excellent support weapon due to 1200RPM

Thanks man thats a real help. Regarding the above quote I'm not very tall so my other choice was the JG G36C if you or anybody else wants to way in on that...

the g36c is a very good gun and you wont hear many bad points for the jg version especially at around 110 quid

Re: Questions about my first gun I'm gunna order

what I need to know now is what battery and bbs go in the JG G36C

[HuntR]

Re: Questions about my first gun I'm gunna order

J36c's use a mini battery. One will come with the rifle though these should be replaced after time, same with the charger. Good quality .2's, .23's or .25's. KSC and Blaster .25's are very good for the price

Will the JG G36C be good for woodland or not?

Re: Questions about my first gun I'm gunna order

The g36c is fine for woodland, but if you want something a tad more accurate get the g3 instead, very high rate of fire and very accurate. That one comes with a decent battery too.

Re: Questions about my first gun I'm gunna order

the rate of fire is ok on the g3, it isnt brilliant as people are suggesting.
i'd suggest investing in a better battery as well, as both the g3 and g36c come with a crappy 8.4v 1100Mah battery

I would but costs more and I'm not really the right build for a g3 but thanks anyway

Re: Questions about my first gun I'm gunna order

I've heard the G3's have horrible bodies and the mags are cr@p and wobble etc.

I've only heard good things about the JG G36C

Well if you're after a gun to use at the UW sites, 350fps is a bit hot. You'll need to downgrade it :S

Re: Questions about my first gun I'm gunna order

i have the 36E and the accuracy is unbelievable.
on the 20M indoor range a 10p sized grouping is standard.
