G&G vs ICS

Hi guys

Just my 2 cents worth, from my point of view i would honoustly recomend neither and go for a classic army one instead. Several of my team mates have had both ICS and G&G MP5s and neither have been reliable or lasted. where as all our C.A. MP5s have had no trouble. Mine is 3 years ols and still works as well as when i bought it and i skirmish regularly.

I can attest that the external appearence of the G&G guns is impressive and by all accounts their internals are improving, however both the MP5s i came into contact with were less than impressive in terms of reliability. One guy only skirmished his the once and it didnt make it through the day, it ended up having to go back to the retailer and being replaced. The gearbox just was not up to what u would expect for the money, in the end it went again a few months later and he ended up having to replace the gears, piston and bearings.

The ics ones are just wank full stop, the bodys are flimsy as hell, i have seen 2 snap clean in half and heard simular complaints on UK forums. The wiring is shoddy as hell and the internals just as bad. I honoustly have not seen a decent ICS gun in over 12 years of skirmishing. A mate of mine has had 4 ICS MP5s over the years and has now finally learnt his lesson. He has a new B&T C.A. MP5 and is chuffed as hell with it.

These are just my opinions at the end of the day, and i dont doubt there are folks out there that have had flawless versions by both companies, unfortanatly i just dont know of anyone who would trust either. Its a shames as well cos ICS have some intresting upcoming releases like their galil and FNC, i will have to wait however for some good reviews before considering one.
