Krytacs are not a world better than ICS. The older ICS models maybe but their newer stuff is very good. Their split gearbox is still the best design around. The quality of the ICS internals is as good as Krytac and some parts are better. Krytac has a nicer hop unit and the externals are in my opinion slightly nicer but thats subjective anyway. The only other thing the Krytac has is the mosfet as stock but I would replace that anyway. I think that the ICS trigger is a bit more responsive than the Krytac with the 20k motor.Current ICS's and Krytacs are very similar in quality and performance. Both are good just different concepts.

Inner barrel is about 6.04 and quite good for a stock barrel. PDI is better but performance gain is negligible and really not worth the cost.Prommy purple is ok but I wouldn't replace the stock bucking until it dies as they perform well enough. Tightbore does not mean better.

Doesn't need any upgrades just change battery connections to deans. No point upgrading a gun unless you're replacing something that broke.

Its very rarely worth paying the cost of the real thing for airsoft. I bought a real surefire (used) and to be honest it was a waste of money.

Night evo clone though not an actual Inforce.

No they are exactly the same just different length front end. No discernable difference in accuracy or range.

That would be totally legal.He is buying it for the purpose of playing airsoft so his defence is covered. You know thats what he wants it for and you are satisfied as the seller that he has a reasonable defence.

Absolutely nothing wrong with the finish on ICS guns they are pretty much perfect. Would agree with going for the Krytac PDW if you want a stubby M4 style gun though. Edit; actually scratch that Krytac should be boycotted until they fit all UK guns with the same spec motor as the US ones.

Not necessarily depends what gun he puts the £80 towards. I wasn't saying buy another £80 gun but save the money towards a much better gun like an ICS,Krytac or even a G&G as spending money on that M4 is the definition of polishing a turd.

Wouldn't bother, put the £80 towards buying a better gun.

Great player is another airsoft myth. Buy something decent so at least something works well all day.

Haha that comment could bite you on the arse.

There is space on all three for a torch. Stop over thinking it all 3 guns are basically the same inside only differ slightly on the externals. Just go and buy which ever one catches your eye the most. At the end of the day all three are so cheap that if you dont like it you sell it and try a different one because you wont lose much in depreciation.

If you have site membership then whats the issue? Site membership is your defence, you give your membership details to the retailer they verify it and voila you can buy a rif. You dont need to two tone it so all the talk of repainting is pointless.

The Sig 552 mrs has the quad rail on front which is a godsend as it has more battery space and you get a lot more ris space. Its also got a full length top ris rail for optics. If you split the receiver you can see the piston through the cylinder ports. If the pistons black its got the newer box if its white its the original box which isn't as good. The madbull barrel is actually a downgrade the stock one is better.

Is it a commando or MRS?Its not just when it was bought its when it was manufactured. To be honest I would think hard before buying a Sig. There is no after market support so upgrades are not as plentiful as on M4's, AK's or other more common models. The Ics Sig is great gun but it is flawed, it has probably the best stock V3 gearbox on any gun but a lot of it is proprietary. If your thinking of upgrading its not a good choice. I am part way through rebuilding/customising one so have some custom parts spare if you have really deep pockets.

Sigs better than a combat machine but unless its an MRS version in very good condition and all the mags are ICS then the price is a bit high.

Depends which version Sig it is. The full metal ones are more up to about £230 ish. They have gone that cheap because I think Ics are phasing them out. Not long ago the metal ones were £300+.Op needs to clarify which model and how old as the newer ones have a better gearbox. Also what brand are the midcaps because if they are Mag 100 rnd they are cheap and awful. The ICS ones are good but only 40rnds so more of a low cap. Also has anything been changed/upgraded?

Because some guns dont need 11.1v. A really well set up gun will only need a 7.4v to run well. My Sig actually has issues with a 30c 7.4v and runs better with an old school 9.6v nimh and I still get 22rps and a good trigger response.Every gun is different.

TM ran out of stocks of magic fairy dust years ago. Now they are more reliant on Placebo Powder. If you go to you local airsoft shop its usually kept next the the snake oil. If you hit the G&G section you have gone too far down the bullshit aisle.

I think the best non impartial review vids were the Airsoft GI ones. The advertising was there without being so in your face so you kind of forget the reviewers were actually just salesman. Its all about balance, represent but don't oversell. Not hating just suggesting. Its a good idea what ICS are doing with the sponsor program more manufacturers and outlets should do it. No better promoters than the players themselves.

Krytac have done a good job so far and have obviously listened to what players want. Just carry on doing that and keep the QC standards high and I am sure you will end up with a bigger market share. Have you thought about a different distributor or having more direct contact with the sales outlets yourselves. It seems like they dont understand the market and are the thing thats letting you down more than your actual product. As I pointed out earlier the advertising and product promotion has been poor and most of your sales success has happened because of word of mouth.

What put me off most is the Ics logo everywhere in the vid. People would take you more seriously if you promoted the brand more subtlety it was like one of the dodgy shopping channel commercials. Take the gun around and show it off at games, nudge people in the right direction on forums and yes vids are fine but it all seemed too much and will put people off.

Unkind but true ☺ But if you use the 30k with a 7.4v lipo and an m100 it works lovely and means people don't have to swap the motor out for a lonex or ultimate motor (both of which are cheaper than your 30k) to get the same trigger response as you get with the 30k motor. Yes you're listening but it is a bit of a mistake. I am not saying your guns are awful because they are not I have recommended them to enough people (probably responsible for more sales than your nonexistent UK advertising) just trying to nudge you in the right direction. Edit; Might see if I can sue for a sales commission.

Prefer the Krytac PDW. Other than the split gearbox and a slight improvement on the internals ICS haven't done enough to push the brand forward.
