So one day, I thought to myself "well, my gun just broke

. maybe I should buy an ICS".
so i went on the internet and found the ICS MS1 pro for 489$. I have been saving a lot of money for a good gun and the reviews on the internet looked pretty positive. So I bought the gun. it came to my house in a reasonable time and I opened it up and started shooting. the first thin I noticed was the terrible accuracy and tight battery space. after 2 hours (not exaggerating) of trying to get the damn thing in there I gave up. it was held to my gun by a rubber band! the battery also came with cables that disconnected every 5 minutes. I read about the split gearbox in this gun and how it is supposed to make changing springs easier, and it does, but not by much. its a lot easier to get the upper gearbox out but you still have to take the gearbox apart. after realising this, I tried to close the gun. but it wouldnt close.
I was really unsatisfied so I drove all the way to red dear and asked for a re fund. the people there told me that as soon as you open up the gun the warranty becomes void. i was pissed. I argued with the man for 2 minutes before giving up. he found a way to close up the gun and he welded the battery back together. I also spent 40$ on a tighter barrel hoping that it would make the gun more accurate. when I got home, I started shooting my gun again and the new barrel made a tiny difference, but not much at all. after adjusting to reflex sight to this, the motor disconnected. At this point I was infuriated.
now I was down 560$ on a gun that doesn't shoot accurate, doesnt work, and I cant even get a refund.
lesson learned. if you're going to get ICS. DO NOT GET THE MX5!
ICS is good but this "MP5 innovation" is terrible.
