Opinions?

Nerf or nothing for little 'un

we have had some crazy fights around the house many years back when Mrs Duck was out

got totally owned on the landing/stairs from the 2 eldest kids

(not much changes - still getting owned by 12yr olds with JBBG guns)

Sold them all when he took up airsoft but still finding them darts around the place - great fun

It will be good to handle the Raider as well. It will show how right I am and how close you came to making a mistake. You can thank me after ?
 
oooh ya cow :)

not exactly fair to compare a £123 polymer Raider to a £200 ICS

but suppose if G&G were really crap then FS wouldn't stock them

good business sense to offer choices for customer

(JBBG are experts at selling crap to kids n mugs like moi)

All that I will say - don't buy a gun just on looks

listen to advice or opinions but make up YOUR own mind in the end

It is YOUR gun you are buying for YOURSELF not for OTHER PEOPLE

Yes it is almost guaranteed the moment you buy your ultimate gun

you will see another that takes your fancy - jeeez it is so addictive, just one more etc.....

heck you may go in there looking for M4 and walk out with an AK instead

(then go back for M4 later and come out with GBB pistol/G36/BFG etc....)

Enjoy your visit to the airsoft candy shop - if you like it and are happy with it then that is what matters in the end

happy shooting - whatever you own

Got to agree its not fair that gun was retailing at 290 not long ago.
Just dont look at the Tm recoils or you will end up spending a lot more. Check out the ape though its a very nice looking gun especially in black and tan.

 
Ok thanks everyone! Looks like I'll end up buying this one! Thanks

 
It also told me the FPS, fire support didn't.

 
You know your can multiquote or edit your posts rather than triple posting :)

60m with a G&G CM-16 that I presume they're testing on .20g? Maybe if you're trying to hit a car sized target. Anyhoo, Airsoft World don't have the best customer service. It's still a GC-16 by the way - internally identical to all the other CG16s really.

In the end though, as has been said multiple times: It's your choice. The ICS and G&G brands at an entry level are going to be largely the same. Go for cosmetics.

it had a 20 meter range increase, and bar that, it looked solid all round.

First of all advertising is 99% bullsh*t any half decent Aeg can fling a bb 60 meters but doing it accurately is a different matter all together. Dont believe everything you read.
Secondly Firesupport haven't chucked a magic approximate FPS because they are a real airsoft shop. It will be roughly 320fps like all ICS guns bought in the UK. They will chrono it when sold and put the fps on the paperwork.

Thirdly I am out this is going to go nowhere. Are you over 18 , have you got a defence, have you ever actually played airsoft or are you just wasting peoples time?

I'm not 18, yet I have a willing brother, defense no, but two tone is an option. Probably stick with the ICS gun then..

Actually they are not anymore. Ics are not really supporting entry level much any more and seem to be aiming firmly at the upper mid range. You can get some of their older guns for a really good price at the moment. Entry level £150ish G&G are better and I say that even though I have a pathological hatred of G&G.
 
Alright. Looks like the ICS gun is the one, thanks to all for the help!

 
Quick question, is this weapon good for woodland?
