Opinions?

[Mos]

Probably going to buy this. Seems pretty good! Attatchements seem available too. Any opinions? http://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/ics-tan-metal-cxp-concept-rifle-airsoft-gun-aeg

I don't trust it just because of how much stuff they give with it, but I have 0 experience with Ics guns so don't listen to me

[Mos]

Ok aha. This gun was recommended by a knowledgable folk. Who knows his stuff. It is full metal, with metal gearbox I think. But I'll have to see. Good observation though, didn't think of it myself .

ICS make pretty solid guns so it's going to last you a fair while.

 

Also it's not a model you see very often so expect people to show a fair bit of interest in it when you take it out to play

What?

So having a speed loader and a battery box included (besides ordinary stuff like unjamming rod etc) makes this gun untrustworthy?

[geoffreym]

used them before, solid little gun.

[djben9]

ooooh very nice, i was looking at that and a few others in Tan for when i call Frank and get my first order placed for my 3rd game!

 

still looking at the basic newbie G&G raider though.....but got time

 

let me know how you get on

If you know nothing about it then you shouldnt comment.

Great little gun, especially at that price for a metal one. Easy to work on and maintain, rail space for accessories. Get a second upper gearbox and swap between different FPS for indoor and outdoor games in seconds. All my M4s are ICS versions!

[djben9]

so in basic terms.....is it easy to swap out then,

most site i have in mind will be no more than 345...

 

oooh im tempted now...

[n1ckh]

I've got an m4 from ics & love the quick change spring system in them

 

My g&g m4 was my 'Go to rifle' but now it's my ics but it does need a new tappet plate as the nub on the sector gear has worn it a little but put a delayer chip on it for now

 

It's still consistent 340fps at the moment even when I used it in the rain

[djben9]

ooh i hate you guys!!....haha

Dont just be tempted go for the ICS all of the CXP range of guns are good.

Or you can become one of the G&G sheople its up to you.

It is a full metal gearbox it one of the Ics split gearboxes. If you had bought it 12 months ago it would have cost £290 the price has dropped because ICS are bringing out their new range. For £200 you wont get a better gun, it will be very reliable and accurate and is easy to maintain.

i'll go take a look on the site again!.....a few ive been keeping my eye on, just wasnt sure on ICS, which is good everyone has their opinion and their favourite. i do like the idea of easy swap outs though....still all new to me

 

tbh i was tempted by the new G&G range http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_info.php?products_id=4419&osCsid=9972eb8de61cb4e885790a826beefa8f

 

but ive time on my side to chat to players and can get it delivered to urban by FFZ if im lucky!

 

 

like the easy maintain bit as well as i'll prob not have time!

[Mos]

Yeah, thanks for clearing up. It looks quite good and will probably buy it, I can review when bought! Hopefully it's good! (P.S thanks to Imtriggerhappy for finding this gun)

[Sitting Duck]

Fire Support are the supreme dogs bollox for ICS guns n support

other sites offer ICS sales and some spares but

Fire Support are the ICS loving mofo's out there that will fully support your gun for service/parts

 

A fair amount of ICS guns come with 2 x mags instead of just one

(my clear M4A1 or W-42 Sportsline came with 2 mags)

 

peq box is included probably coz it will require it

(but description says front handguard ?)

 

best thing to do is ask on here as well as google up more images or a video review or two of it or any gun you like the look of

 

I haven't owned that model so can't really comment much more but ICS & fire support are reputable mofos

[djben9]

If you can get to their store, even better

 

arranging a visit next weekend hopefully

[Sitting Duck]

Always very wise if you can see it, hold a gun to get a real idea of it

you must become one with your gun - uhhm ergh - yeah ok

its just a bb toy gun but does help to make your mind up

[djben9]

indeed it does, they have your raider in there as well , one i will be handling

 

 

taking my 6yr old...he's gonna be well , hopefully not 'i want one of those' days!

[Sitting Duck]

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

[ImTriggerHappy]

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 😃

[Sitting Duck]

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.

[Mos]

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