Re: why wont these mags work?
The cyma ones need modifying mate, the lip that the mag catch latches on too is to deep so you need to file it down, if you have a dremel then use that its easier and quicker, JG also have the same issue too. The mags are a tighter fit in ICS guns which just makes it a little harder to load them.
As an after thought, try that mod on one mag first incase it doesnt work, it worked for my ICS MP5 though.
section 24 of the 1968 Act
Supplying imitation firearms to minors
1)It is an offence for a person under the age of eighteen to purchase an imitation firearm
2)It is an offence to sell an imitation firearm to a person under the age of eighteen.

I've ALWAYS had problems with ICS guns and compatibility, got tired of it and ended up with a G&P gun, I have also heard too that the JG ones work so try that possibly?

Ironic, my mates ics m4 don't take any of our magazines. He's always in crap when he runs out as he can't nick a mag or two from the team.
