Re: ICS should I avoid?
:O
ICS are brilliant.
one of the most reliable gun manufacturers on the market, if not the best. there split gearbox designs are simply ingenious.
i currently own an ICS L86 LSW and i have previously owned many... many ICS M4/16veriants.
The hop rubbers are abit naff in my opinion but that can be said about alot of brands now-a-days, put a prommy/madbul or preferably a firefly in though and you'll be ready to rock and roll.
i'm not a true ICS fanboy but they have to be given credit with some amazingly sturdy gearboxes, some brilliant designs and some guns i've encountered have the added bonus of being built like tanks.
EDIT:
should also say a mate has had his for going on two years now. countless rounds through it and all he has done is put a new 300fps spring (for cqb) in it and a madbull hop unit. still going as strong as ever.

ICS = v good
The split gearbox on the m4 is seriously good. Just makes working on the things so much easier. Regular v2's are annoying with springs trying to pop out on you, theres a nack to doing it which i havnt got yet

I wouldn't say "no" good.
I think there in the 'lemon brand' section of the airsoft market, like Cyma and afew others.
Personally i've only had good runs with SRC (Cyma guns are amazing in my opinion) but I've had mates that have had mixed reviews, some good some bad and there are a lot of mixed reviews around the web/ect.
Hence the lemon branded status. Sometimes you get a good one, sometimes you get the lemon. Stick with ICS though. ICS wins hands down over SRC in my opinion.

Re: ICS should I avoid?
Just a point that hasn't been mentioned, there are compatibility issues with ics example hop up units and also some RIS kits on the m4's. They are great as long as you don't want to change the externals.

That's the probs I'm having so I'll keep this as a backup and get another brand for my "pimped" shooter
also the battery is a pain can only use nunchucks

for front kits, for example if you wanted to put a magpul moe handgaurd on the gun (or literally any delta ring based RIS/kit). all you need is a new delta ring. you can buy them for less than £20 second hand and a new G&P set will set you back no more than that...(depending on where you shop) personally i'd just buy a second delta ring rather than a whole new gun or a free float system instead.
would certainly be cheaper than a new gun, that said i cant really advise, I'm in the process of building my 9th gun
