I have owned one of these for a few months now and although its gone back under warranty due to the piston & Hop need replacing.....
this is one of the best aeg's ive owned (and ive had a good few), its very practical, accuracy is awsome and range is good for a "out the box" rifle.
i wont go too much into detail but i would reccomend the ics over the star/ares version any day. I looked into both in massive detail for months before i made my mind up. The ICS is by far more practical for airsofting, the so called visual differences between the real steel and the ics l85 are the main
