I've heard a lot about this. Full metal and blowback......sounds a little too good to be true. Is this gun legit? I think its a clone of the G&G

yep it is true

but is it reliable. that is the question.

cool, But what are your personal opinions?

ICS all the way in my opinion.

I have an Army Armament L85 and if you're looking for an L85 but don't want or can't pay for a G&G or ICS it's a decent gun. Haven't had a reason to open her up yet but external quality is pretty good and i've been using a 9.6 1400mAh battery in it since the start of April this year and the internals have held up. Accuracy is pretty good for a stock barrel i think, it's basically a M16 barrel in a M4 size package. ROF isn't TO shabby with a 9.6 although you can only fit a mini and maybe a nunchuck size 9.6 in it.

My only complaints is the fire selector and mag well. At least on mine it has a tendency to move up (yes up) to semi while firing full auto with the blow-back engaged. If i lock the bolt back the problem is almost taken care of. For some reason they made the mag well slightly wider so most STANAG mags won't fit properly. You can solve that by wrapping a piece of electrical tape around the mag so it fits more snugly. Shouldn't be to hard to get parts for since it is i believe a G&G clone, the manual even says to contact G&G for parts and tech questions.

All in all it's definitely not the best gun around but for $160 it's better then some others in it's price range. Oh yeah and another thing i really like about is that it's so different and they aren't everywhere like AK's and M4's. It's a gun that can bring some attention your way.

Thats what drew me to it. the uniqueness. But sadly, this venture will have to wait for another day. I don't have the funds right now.
