Echo 1 MP5A5 vs. JG MP5A5

[victor.hernandez]

The E1 is a rebrand of the JG, and more expensive, but what's the REAL difference? I've heard the only difference is the 30 day warranty and metal bushings on the E1. Are plastic bushings on the JG really that bad? What's a better deal?

I also noticed that the JG's MP5 is called "MK5A5", but looks nothing like a MP5KA5. Is this because of copyright laws of HK(they've been known to do this, like with ATI GSG .22lr MP5). In the box it also says MJ-5. Are these the same guns?

E1 MP5 is re-brand of the CYMA, which I believe is a clone of G&Gs MP5. I'd go with the E1 MP5.

I had a re-branded JG MP5. It just had JG gears and stuff.

IIRC, when E1 re-brands they just replace parts that seem defective or something. or throw their logo on the gearbox and body and ship it off.
