DrAlexanderTobacco Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Hey guys, Khanseb uploaded this video today: Seems like a nice little pistol, good kick and gas efficiency. Average accuracy though. Link to post Share on other sites

Hey if it works well for skirmishing, all good. I'd hope it fits another guns' holster though and takes available mags, otherwise - Big fat fail. Link to post Share on other sites
tquilha Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Meh another M&P-like. ICS, just off the top of my head I can give quite a list of pistols for you to make and be awesome: Jericho, Bren Ten, Hi-power (with a normal sight, not the tangent), Wildey, Automag, H&K P7, and the classic S&W autos. There's so much out there waiting to be done, it's sad to see companies copying each other all the time... Link to post Share on other sites
Colin_The+Ferret Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 "Glocks and M&Ps are all the rage these days.

Rob15 Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Hey if it works well for skirmishing, all good. I'd hope it fits another guns' holster though and takes available mags, otherwise - Big fat fail. Not sure 'big fat fail' is the best description considering Firesupport have sold out already although magazine compatibility is always nice from a customer point of view, not so great for ICS considering they'll probably make more from the magazines than the pistols. Personally I'm all for it, my experience is ICS generally make nice products for reasonable prices, it could turn out to be a great skirmish workhorse and there are already original spare parts available to order which can't be said for a lot of other unusual/proprietary gas guns, at some point I'd like to pick one up and see what they're like for myself. I'm not a huge fan of the look of it myself mindyou, but at least they shouldn't have any licencing issues and what sales they'll lose from not being a 'replica' they'll probably make up with wider availability than say, a Glock.

Wingmann Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 It's not far from some modern Russian designs. Maybe they could just go for it and offer something Russian. That'd be a welcome change. Link to post Share on other sites
Bovinedog Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 It isn't a replica, but it is very similar to the FNS9. I think he mentioned that in the unboxing video. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 And here I was expecting an MP-443 Grach what with the use of "alpha". Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 snip No that's my bad tbh, should've IMHO'd that post. Personally, holster and mag (and mag pouch) compatibility/commonality absolutely make or break a pistol, but that's just me and the fact I've already got too much *suitcase* and no room to store anymore.

wildething Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Could ICS please just make stuff that looks like a real gun that's half the point Link to post Share on other sites
Bovinedog Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 You don't think it looks like the fns9 then? Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Not terribly fond of that magazine - looks like those two tiny nubs that stick out of the front are what the mag catch holds on to. Fun times getting that out of a mag pouch in a hurry. Also, WE style barrel cut and hop-up rubber, hmmmmmmm Link to post Share on other sites
Katotaka Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 This gun looked attractive to me until I saw those two nubs, why not go HK way and dig into the magazine profile???? Link to post Share on other sites
swatti Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Can't say anything bad about that but even an ICS fanboi like me has hard time coming up ideas why I'd want exactly that and not something else already proven-to-last option. Link to post Share on other sites
Wooly_Booly Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Conspiracy theory time. This is ICS' first GBB, something they really haven't shown a whole lot of interest in previously, let alone experience with. Watching KahnSeb's video where he disassembled the hop-up unit I noticed the something a little odd. The window of the inner barrel is shorter than standard VSR/Marui based pistol cuts. If I had to guess the nub on the bucking is larger to accommodate for it. This is something different from most every company in the industry using Marui styled systems, and it may really cut down on compatibility. The only other company to my knowledge that has hop-up units with that style are WE. They changed all of their current models to work with this. Here's a screen grab from Kahn Seb's video, and a photo comparison, courtesy of W&S airsoft. Could WE be the OEM, or at least have been contracted to make specific parts?

DarkLite Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Could share some other third party OEM. Link to post Share on other sites
