Ok so AIM and TOP are the same?

No.
AIM TOP is not the same as TOP.

They're two completely different companies that happen to share a similar name.

I speak chinese, and I'm pretty sure "Jing" is golden, not "jin".
Plus, all the retailers have it spelled Jing.

I speak Chinese too, and 'gold, golden' is "jin".

For example, the online version of Lin Yutang's _Chinese Dictionary of Modern Usage_ says it's "jin1" ("1" is the tone): http://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/cgi-bin/agrep-lindict?query=%aa%f7&category=wholerecord

Not all retailers think it's "Jing"--airsoft1 has it correct on this page (http://www.airsoft1.com/Airsoft-Buyers-Guide-s/89.htm), in which they say "Jin Gong". However, if you look online, some people say "Jin Gong", some say "Jing Gong", and some say both interchangeably (like the Steyr AUG review at http://www.airsoftretreat.com/reviews/showproduct.php?product=167&cat=63).

I don't think A&K stands for anything.

DTRSandman · « **Reply #33 on:** November 04, 2007, 01:00:16 AM »

Didnt CYMA used to stand for Crap Your Money Away?

TooBigToFit · « **Reply #34 on:** November 04, 2007, 01:06:25 AM »

That was made up by players. They actually make some of the best MPEGs now.

DTRSandman · « **Reply #35 on:** November 04, 2007, 01:08:31 AM »

Ahhh ill stick to JG but good to know.

TooBigToFit · « **Reply #36 on:** November 04, 2007, 08:58:29 AM »

Now that I think hard about it, A&K is definately not Aftermath & Kirenex. I believe Kirenex is an A&K AEG rebranded by Aftermath. A&K still stands for nothing.

Shouldn't we also get translations for the names of the companies?

loneranger · « **Reply #38 on:** November 04, 2007, 09:57:02 AM »

Yeah if anyone knows what they mean please share.

Motherland · « **Reply #39 on:** November 04, 2007, 12:48:17 PM »

I know that Jin Gong = Goldenbow, but that has already been mentioned.

SG19 · « **Reply #40 on:** November 04, 2007, 03:39:03 PM »

I'm pretty sure Atoz is A to Z. Like the letters of the alphabet...

Sungear · « **Reply #41 on:** November 04, 2007, 05:58:41 PM »

I think CSI was just a rebrand by Shorty USA, like matrix, that was supposed to be Crime Scene Investigation

PlasticMag · « **Reply #42 on:** November 04, 2007, 09:25:13 PM »

KJW - Kuan Ju Works.

Not Kwan

rafarquhar · « **Reply #43 on:** November 04, 2007, 10:04:57 PM »

I don't think that WELL stands for anything.
Though if it did, I'm sure it would mean "We Eat Large Liverwurst."

And yes, CSI is just a Shorty rebrand, much like "Matrix" is a Evike rebrand. My first electric was a first generation Jing-gong AK47 rebranded as "Matrix."

I would guess that CSI is just trying to gain some thunder from the TV series, along with Matrix trying to steal thunder from the movie.

G & P stands for gay pig, because they don't even make a freaking sig.

Seriously guys, stop making up your own acronyms.

Atoz is A to Z armaments, at least to the best of my knowledge. It just got shortened to Atoz.
