Tentative Newbie

Yup, it's gear box out, but at least you don't have to split it.

Guys. I've just been offered a ICS CXP 16 short. With 2 mags, Charger, battery, sling and a load of BBs for £200? Pretty much looks brand new. Would it be worth it?

Or an APS AUG Steyr which I prefer the look of. With 3 batteries, charger and 6 mags for £155....

Airsoft AUGs are typically a bit shit seeing as the trigger bar is a weak point. ICS is a decent brand. But I dunno if I would buy used for my first gun if I were you.

Ok thank you. Just seeing what was out there. Might just go down the new route as mentioned before and get the Combat machine

both sound ok, I'd look at feedback/post count etc of both sellers before going further, if either are low or negative then I'd say don't proceed, even the kind of post content someone posts up can indicate whether their a responsible seller or a know nothing chav trying to offload crap.

augs can be very good (def not shit, I owned one for a long time) & there's a member on here that's an absolute legend with them, repairs, mods etc, so don't discount them yet, especially one with 6 mags & ready to skirmish.

Bang! Taken the plunge. Gone for the CXP16. Managed to get it for £160 with 6000 bbs too. So thats got to be at least a tenners worth lol. Picking up tonight. Am I not a tentative newbie now if I have a gun lol

A newbie with a gun... scary

Enjoy

Fair enough, I've no experience with ICS but the split gearbox is a neat idea.

Seller's OK with you not having a defence yet?  Not something that you should bring up, it's their choice whether to sell or not.

 

[ultrarunnerlee]

Good point I didn't think about that. He saw me playing on Sunday so hopefully thats piece of mind on his behalf.....

He saw me playing on Sunday

perfect, you've satisfied any concerns on whether your a genuine player, just another example of alternative forms of defence other than ukara ?
