Hi, I've sold a lot of airsoft guns on here before. Today, I am parting with my personal favorite. It is an ICS MP5. I know that a lot of people on this forum own one, so they can attest to how great they are.
For those who don't know, airsoft guns fire 6mm ABS plastic bb's. Most serious skirmishers use AEG's which are automatic electric guns. They offer fully automatic fire and pinpoint accuracy. Every gun is modeled after their real steel counterpart, so they are also huge amoung collectors.
The exact model I am selling is an ICS MP5A4 V3. This is the latest version from ICS and has a lot of improvements over the old model which was already excellent. They refined everything on this gun so that it performs perfectly. The gearbox is among the best out there.
This gun is assembled with a complete metal body. It is made of diecast aluminum and has laser engraved trademarks. The only ABS plastic parts are the grip, foregrip, and stock which are also plastic on the real $12,000 MP5. You cannot tell this apart from a real steel. It looks identical and even has the same weight. This gun is pretty hefty at about 8lbs fully loaded.
The internals on this gun are even more amazing. The gearbox is mostly steel and very refined. It sounds very different from my other AEG's. Unlike the usual loud slap, it is extremely quiet. It just purrs smoothly while it blasts out bb's. The barrel is a tightbore and made of brass. It is about 6.03mm wide, so very little power is lost and the groupings are very tight. The wiring is 18AWG and has large Tamiya connectors.
The only weakness on ICS guns is the hopup unit. It is just a little piece of rubber that puts backspin on this bb. However, it has the biggest effect of any component on accuracy, range, power, and feeding. The stock bucking is a little too brittle for my taste.
I upgraded the hopup with a Guarder bucking and sleeve. It is the best aftermarket hop up unit you can get. As you might imagine, the performance is excellent after this upgrade. It fires about 330fps which is enough to pierce a hole right through both sides of a soda can. Its range surprised me even. You can easily pick off man sized targets at 200ft. Most snipers barely have this kind of range. Its accuracy is the best I have ever seen on a gun. Its groupings are roughly 3in at 90ft.
The Rate of fire is actually faster than a real MP5, lol. It can fire about 950rounds per minute. The trigger response is almost instant. I am including a battery and charger for it. Since it is a full stock, you can use a large battery. I have a 8.4v 1500Mah battery for it I conditioned it properly and it lasts about 2000-2500 shots before you have to recharge it. The charger I have only takes about 3 hours to fully charge it.
I love the magazine it has. It is also made out of metal and hold 230 rounds. To load it, you just open the tab and pour bb's into it. Once you are done, just turn the wheel on the bottom until it clicks. The magazine snaps firmly into place and feeds every round perfectly. There are absolutely no misfires. I am including 1 mag with it since it holds so many rounds, but you can buy extras for $20.
Its the little things that impress me so much on this rifle. The trademarks are perfect, the motor already has a heatsink installed, the foregrip has a perfect texture, it has a spare fuse, the metal casting is seamless, etc.
This is hands down one of the best airsoft guns out there. It outperforms every gun I ever fired including some $1000 M249's. I have used it as my primary for about 1 year and have babied it. The gun is in perfect condition except some minor scratches on the magazine where it slides into the magwell. I can paint over them if you want, but I left them becuase they make the gun look more authentic.
What you get: ICS MP5A4, 230 round magazine, 8.4v 1500 mAH battery, 3 hour charger, and barrel cleaning rod. I also have a bag of 3700 .20g bb's. They are made by Airsoft Elite in California and are the top brand of bb's.
For everything, I am looking for about $425 Price Drop $300. It really kills me to sell this, but I need as much money as I can to pay off school loans.
You can't get much better than this. It has a metal body, fires extremely fast and hard, and is very reliable. It is perfect for newbies or experienced skirmishers. I promise you won't regret buying it. If you are interested, feel free to ask me any questions. AEG gearboxes are very complicated. If you want, I can take a video of it in action.
