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.

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?

I had the same problem mate and what i did was sent them back and brought the ics mags. yes there more expensive but you are certain that they will work.

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.

How odd, my old ICS M4 took Army, CA, JG, TM and Magpul PTS mags no problem :p

I know what your saying about ics - my ics ak doesn't even take the mags it came with but it takes just about every other make fine
