Airsoft Review: JG M4 S-System


Hey airsofters, it’s ya’ boiiiiiii IRONHEAD and as promised here is the review on my newest AEG, the JG M4 S-System (black).


AEG Specs:

  • Velocity: 425fps (.2 g BB’s)
  • Range: 170-190 (effective)
  • Tight-bore barrel
  • Magazine: 300+ high capacity
  • Battery:standard 8.4v mini
  • Weight: 8lbs.
  • Crane Stock
  • Adjustable rear sight, fixed front sight


The rundown:

I purchased this bad boy over three months ago from my good friends at Airsoft Megastore and used it several times in several game scenarios. To put it lightly, this gun just rocks! It did not jam or miss-feed any bb’s at all and shot true, up to approximately 190 feet without having to barrel up.  The body of this AEG is ABS plastic, but comes with a full metal RIS (Rail Integration System) and the top of the RIS runs from the front flip up sight to the rear flip up sight giving you tons of real estate to satisfy your ad on needs.  The gun is slightly over 8lbs so it’s a hefty AEG, but honestly I appreciate the realistic weight. It doesn’t feel like I’m carrying a toy out the on the field.

Included in the original packaging is your standard wall charger, battery (8.4v stick type), unjamming rod, “instructional” manual (which has tons of “engrish” lol!), and of course the gun. The JG M4 S-System package with a tight bore barrel and FULL metal gearbox and high torque motor.  Right outta the box this gun has NO wobble and feels comfortable in my hands.  Adding to that comfort is the 4-point adjustable butt-stock. On the CQB side the gun has the right amount of length to maneuver around corners and a good rate of fire to mow down the opposition.  On the open field watch this beauty do work with its tight bore barrel, full metal internals and high torque motor. You’ll be picking off n00bs and mil-sim wannabes’ with their overpriced, hard to pronounce AEG’s.

Internals & upgrades:

As stated earlier this bad mama-jamma comes with a tight-bore barrel which greatly improves distance and accuracy, and a FULL metal gearbox and a high torque motor to hurtle those BB’s down range.  I recently upgraded to a standard 9.6v battery (nunchuck style) and let me tell you, the ROF jumped dramatically and I couldn’t have been more pleased with such a simple upgrade. I also purchased a black, all metal flash hider from Airsoftmegastore to add to the realism and intimidation factor. I had also purchased and used a plastic traditional fore grip but it just never felt right. I then purchased a MAGPUL angled fore-grip from an online retailer and it feels perfect, not to mention it looks cooler than your typical fore-grip you see everyone running.

The verdict:

This AEG outta the box is a heavy hitter, perfect for CQB and strong enough for open field skirmishes.  With the full metal RIS you’ve got room to play with add-ons and a weight that feels good and sturdy in your hands.  The fact that it’s JG also means you get reliability and top quality materials inside and out from one of the most trusted names in the market.  I’m a happy camper and if you don’t believe me, i’ll meet you after the match is over…I’m the one who lit you up from 190 ft away.

Stay tuned for my next review, the Diamond Tactical Molle Plat Carrier!
