Talking ICS or TM?

Hey guys! i am currently on the verge of spending some catch on an airsoft. What i would like to know is which quality would be better and would last longer in the long run and ICS m4a1 or a TM m4a1.


Sincerely,




Clueless Newb

Did you really need to post this twice?

Read some reviews and make up your own mind.

Either.

Depends how well you take care of it/use it/ect.

Better question is do you want plastic or metal?

ICS you will be replacing some internal parts sooner then later where a TM is like the energizer bunny. But as BC_K pointed out...ICS does have the advantage of being metal out of box.

I've owned a ICS MP5, upgraded, I put about 8,000 through that... never had a problem, and that's at 400fps, but again, only 8,000 BBs.
Now, I own a ICS M4. I would recomend it if you are looking for metal... and if trades do not matter to you, you can buy it at Canadian Airsoft for $535 + shipping, CRAZY cheap.
As for G&P, I was planning on picking one up... but, make sure you know your field's rules or are willing to downgrade. They are hot at about 370 FPS.

By the way, you and BrokenFan, STOP ASKING STUPID QUESTIONS... keep it all in one thread, or ask in the chat... preferably click search.

Are G&P m4a1 any good? can they contend with ICS, SRC, and TM?

ANd by the way if I were to buy a TM m4a1, and then buying a metal outer casing for it later on will it cost more or just be the same as buying ICS m4a1 (but having to upgrade the internal parts)?

It will cost more. Metal body is about 300 and a good new barrel to get rid of wobble is 100, that's alot. ICS can be ask cheap as $550 shipped.
I do not have any personal experience with G&P. I am interested in that too, still looking at their guns... damn me for finding more money.

YEAH! That's what I thought, haha, so I bought one.
BUT there is a couple catches...

-Red tip, quick paint or strip.
-Trade marks are that of ICS, not Olympic Arms. It's because their supplier is American.
