Question ICS From Buyairsoft.ca

Hi i was wondering if anyone had purchased any ICS guns from buyairsoft.ca, as they sell alot of replica brands i was wondering if they are acually ICS brand name guns and if they were of good value, im a little sceptic because buyairsoft.ca sells their MP5 A4 for around $435 cdn. and most other retailers sell theirs for around $600,

Also i am lookin at buying the UTG deluxe bolt action sniper rifle, wondering if anyone has any comments on that gun aswell.

Thanks alot for your help as this is my first major airsoft purchase.

P.s. ill only be ordering these guns if buyairsoft.ca gets them instock :P it seems like its been awile but mabey im just anxious

The ICS Guns they sell are legit. For your first airsoft gun please read the FAQ it tells you what to look for and what is more suitable to play with. Also higher end guns are pre-order only.

If you plan on playing the EAR fields like The Gardens (Leduc), an MP5 would be a much better choice for you (to start with) than a bolt-action rifle that shoots 350 fps (maybe). Usually to get the effective range that would maximize use of such a gun means you're upgrading it to 450+ fps and that's not really practical for the UTG.

Star is fine, as well as G&P, Marui and ICS for highcaps should you like those.

Many new guys start out with highcaps and as EAR doesn't limit them very often anymore, they may have ammo limits in effect that will vary from game to game. Highcaps are easy to load in the field, but their Achilles heal is the noise factor. When half-full, the BBs rattle around and make a God-awful racket and it makes being stealthy pretty difficult.

Low caps are the way to go, but 30rnd. Star lows are a little too low. 50 round lows and 100 round mid-caps are the ticket for the MP5.

Thanks alot i think ive made my choice. mabey ill wait on the sniper but its so gosh darn good looking. idont like the idea of hicaps, thats what it comes with and a 50 or 100 sounds nice, although i do like the deal of 10 star mags from 007 airsoft.

yes yuxi the price does seem good it seemed too good at first but if you guys say its legit then im all for the MP5

Right, but like you observed, those are not "in-stock", and probably won't be given 007's recent minimal imports/sales. Get some from Ebay or the US.

i have now purchaed 7 weapons from Buy airsoft.ca. (for me and a few buddies) Each one was exactly as advertized...(they just have lower prices for some reason) I should ad that these were all "high Grade" weapons tho.
We bought them a few months ago when they were in stock and they were at my frony door within 8 days from the order date. I am however still waiting on delivery for a Hi-Cappa 5.1. his item was not in stock. Im trcking it right now and should have it next mon. or tues. (that will be almost one month to the day for the day I ordered it...) All in all this site has really been good to me. I thot id add that I ordered a frick load of steel Mags from Anderson and Anderson and they were on time and exactly as advertized...however the price was totally outlandish.( I'm just a sucker for metal EVERYTHING!!!!)

BAM! Well, apparently Buyairsoft doesn't check age. I sure as hell hope they're not selling to little shithead 13 year olds, with daddy's credit card.
