£300 M4 ICS and G&G or other?

[Trojan]

Please explain. LMGTFY is a perfectly legitimate educational tool.

Is the Krytac body metal or polymer? 'Yes'.

That's called being pedantic and arrogant for no reason.

I don't think that's either of those sir, and I don't think preventing someone wasting people's time is no reason.

If you ask a question on a forum which can be answered verbatim by google, you deserve to get LMGTFY'd. I answered yes because it was a teachable moment, and I did not want to spend time deconstructing the question as that could be insulting. The person who asked the question, did not even click the link - that's potentially insulting.

I've been on the receiving end of LMGTFY many times, and eventually you take away positive things from it when people link it to you.

That's a nice verbose statement. His question could have simply been answered with one word, "metal". You chose otherwise. Nobody is wasting anybodys time. You choose to help on forums because you either want to contribute to society or you enjoy it. If you find a particular question to be time-wasting then you do not answer it.

The faster those questions are resolved the less time is wasted; need a non insulting way to educate people to avoid more of those questions? Use LMGTFY.

Think about it, if 20 people ignore an easy question, that's 19 people's time wasted.

I love how you're finding a way to slip an insult into every post, carry on.

FFS - both calm the f*ck down

it was an easy oversight in answering a question

just like the classic tea or coffee question I posted

easily done - nobody should be judging anybody or trying to be smart or $hit like that

I don't really give a f*ck - just remember it takes TWO to make an arguement

so ffs chill out a bit.....

I could go on and nitpick loads here but I know for a fact I'm far from perfect and often have made myself to look an even bigger pratt than I already am

if you can't let it go then I'm gonna tell a teacher - aka mod and thread gets locked which we should not really have to do on here

and I don't care either who started it - mellow out a bit - jeeeeezzzzzzzzzz

 

[Sacarathe]

I'm serene, just some education here.

We're not at the argument stage, "odd" is too vague to take offence to and "pedantic and arrogant" is flatly wrong and not offensive, if he wants an argument he needs to try harder.

I think I am going to go for this ICS one http://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/ics-metal-cxp-transform-uk1r-rear-wired-ebb-airsoft-gun-aeg

What charger and battery should I get with it?

Thanks

 

[Sitting Duck]

a bloody small thin one if that has a stock tube battery

you fitting your own mosfet then ?

(people will say you don't HAVE to have one but I prefer to have them now)

anyway - you will need a battery no bigger than 20mm x 20mm x

actually scrap that - you may be limited to a 18mm x 18mm x 125mm long battery

maybe these two should fit no problem - longer one will mean you may not be able to fully contract the stock

&

http://www.componentshop.co.uk/7-4v-1300mah-20c-continuous-discharge-lipo-battery-136mm-long.html

some others might fit but unless you measure it yourself or get confirmation it will be a gamble

had these issues with FireHawk's stock tube battery location - ripped that off for a stubby stock instead

yes they look nice with tiny battery in stock - but seriously limits your options is all I'm saying

 

[djben9]

Just ask FS

They supplied me with Lipos and charger. It tells you in description if you read though it, 7.4v Lipo, type 18 / 19, I think 'type' is just connection, for the sake of saving a few quid, get it all from them, its easier, and get it wired to deans

I got all mine from them, UK1, charger, 2 Lipos (125x22x13), extra mags and quick loader

I do find though, due to wiring / fuse, I cant have the stock on lowest setting...unless I went to far....as batter/cables push on back of stock pad....

reminds me, need some more mags!

 

[GothicGhost]

Thank you both.

I have never installed a mosfet before but handy with a Soldering Iron if that helps lol.

What mofet should I get and where would I fit it insidethe stock tube as well ?

Thanks.

It was more sarcasm really as Krytac's come with mosfet and very cleverly built into the gearbox

I challenge most people on here to do a job as fine as that - very clever & neatly done indeed

(and that is going some for me to commend stuff that is standard fitment on a gun)

You won't have much room in the stock to squeeze the leads in let alone a mosfet

If you keep the juice low which you probably will have to due to limited space you won't need a mosfet

The ICS is still a good gun - we all have our preferances and you are not considering a Predator anymore

so that is an improvement whatever you decide

So don't worry about it tbh

 

[GothicGhost]

Cheers sitting duck.

The cxp transform just looks better to me and I do like the split gear box idea when I learn how to fix stuff myself later.

Thanks.

Yes the Krytacs appear to be very nicely made internally, but this is what would stop me from buying one:

Less than a foot drop onto carpet and it cracks.

  http://hmongbuy.net/video/6RM6PrzcJ-Y  for other short comings.

There are pictures of Krytac cracked lower receivers all over the web. Now I know the design of M4 airsoft guns makes them vulnerable, but the same issue doesn't seem to crop up as much with ICS or G&G.

For sub £300 I’d take an ICS all day long. £370 will get you a recoil
