OMGWTFBBQ!
I just got my ICS mp5a4 today, and i thought I'd talk about it because right now, this is the only outlet for my joy.
It came in a plain brown box with "a4" written on the upper right hand corner. The package itself was very heavy. After opening it, i saw that it was carfully cradled in foam, bubble wrap and zip tied to the box. The gun itself is hefty, almost all metal, and has a great feel to it. The clip is all metal and has a big, fat easy to wind wheel(hi-cap came free with gun, holds 230 rounds). After charging the 1800 mAh, 8.4 volt battery not quite fully cause i was impatient, I slid the large size battery into the sturdy stock and connected the wires. The clip slid in and locked with a satisfying "click". After winding the mag it flipping the safety off, I was ready to go. Outside on my front porch, i took aiam at the snow, and it made a nice row of tightly grouped holes. The rate of fire is supposedly one of the highest of any stock aeg, and it sure sounded like it. Now for power, i took aim with my 300fps+ gas gun and unloaded into an icicle. I then did the same with the mp5 and it did significantly more damage, and basicaly cut the icicle in half. Over all, a great gun with a sturdy feel, excellent build quality, and impresive specs. Would recomend to anyone.

edit: I fully charged the battery and it fires even faster. It almost one constant firing sound. Sticking a 9.6volt batt in this thing could very well push it over the 1000 bb's per minute mark I think.

I got my Mauri MP5A4 yeaterday. no complaints here either, However, I have seen on MiA an ICS gearbox failure. But, with any moving part, it WILL wear out, be it Mauri, ICS, systema or top

My Airsoft Elite Mp5 A4 arrived today as well(basicly the same as alex's but a bit uprgraded). The only complaint that I have with it is the hi cap mag doesnt seem to cycle in bbs very well, maybe I just got a lemon, dunno.
And about rate of fire, this thing is insane with a 9.6v battery, just sick

my mag seems to unwind everyonece in a while when its fully winded and i jam it in fast, but thats my only gripe. Ive heard both good and bad, but the people who say ICS is bad tend to support their statement with "OMG, ICS is teh suckz0rz" and people who like ICS tend to support their argument with a 3 page review. I got it from an awsome deal on airsplat, so I took the risk, so far(if you can call 1 day"so far") I love it.
750 BB's and still going strong
