Recommendations For H&K G36C AEGs
 

Hello,

So my frustrations are getting the better off me and I'm being persuaded to go AEG instead of GBB.

Starting from scratch now could everyone please help me out in choosing the best platform for a G36C.

I'm interested in milsim gaming and don't mind if I only have 30 rounds in my magazine. Not looking for a long range sniper just something that I can upgrade to be very accurate and consistent.

I want to feel as though, as close to practical, that I'm using a real G36, something that puts a big smile on my face and gives me pride without embarrassment or regret and frustration.

Thank you all for your input.

Probably G&G or CA for G36? Maybe Umarex... might be VFC OEM.

No one makes an "amazing G36" it's niche.

VFC - M4/PDW
LCT - AK

So would all the VFC/G&G/CA internals be just as easily upgradeable? If that were the case I could just choose the best externals and then upgrade as required.

Is electric blow back also not a good idea?

Do milsim gamers use high capacity magazines, or just realistic capacity?

If you have the coin i'd say the Tokyo Marui recoil shock things a beast.

TM recoil shock 'NGRS' is the best bet. Or go GBBR and get the WE. Well regarded as one of the best GBBRs out there.

I would personally avoid the Ares/HK versions if you can, unless you're more inclined to like the electronic trigger system and whatnot. I prefer the more manual stuff so I'd say go for the G&G, CA, or VFC versions. From what I've looked at they seem to be the best externally at least.

I have a Jing Gong G36C myself at the moment, a lot of people say they're durable enough for the price, but a word of warning, the gearbox components inside look pretty flimsy overall. It's a fine option if you can get it cheap and are willing to swap out the internals, but if you want a G36 platform that will stand the test of time better, spending the money on the G&G, CA, and VFC versions is more worth it. If you're looking to make the G36 your main workhorse I would go that route, if you want one just to use once in a while the Jing Gong isn't a bad gun to fit that purpose.

Excellent advice all around. I'm planning on getting a G&G and doing some upgrades. The gbb will have to wait I suppose.
