| Only problem I see is the battery. If you got this, I'd assume eventually you'd want to invest in a better battery in a PEQ or something, which may not be something you'd want on the side of the rails. You could wire it to the back, like into a crane stock, but that would involve opening the gearbox, something I wouldn't advise anyone do on a new gun, especially if you have no clue what you're doing. Airsoft is really a hobby. If you want to reach the fullest leaps and bounds, you'll want to know your way around the gearbox, so you can preform upgrades, or regular maintenance/cleaning. To me, it looks like a great gun. Besides the battery, looks like a pretty sound gun to me. Personally, If I were to get another AEG, it may be something similar to this, (a small M4 variant) or one in the MP5 series, like the CA53, or something totally different like a L85 carbine. So my personal idea is that if you like compact guns and don't care about the battery, go for it. If you like, you can research a little bit into how to rewire a gearbox, but I can tell you that you really don't need much electronics experience to re-rout the wires through the opposite side of the gearbox. Heres what I was looking for: http://www.kapowwe.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=ar013m&Category_Code=Airosft_AEGs&Store_Code=RIf that comes wired to the back, it would be nearly the exact same thing as the ICS model, just with a better option later on for batteries, due to the crane stock. Either way, I don't think you will be upset with what you get. I own a CA M15A4 and just think it's one beast of a gun. Good luck with your decision. | |

| I plan on getting a foregrip so the battery box won't really matter, so in that case, in your opinion, this gun should be fine?[/b] | |
