Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - ICS or CA MP5 SD5

Off-Kilter · May 13th, 2010, 18:59

I've been looking around at all the manufactures MP5 SD5s in the past while, and have narrowed it down to 2, the ICS and CA MP5 SD5 (I don't want an MP5 with a plastic receiver). I was going to wait for the new ICS split gearbox MX5s, but I have found out that they won't be making an SD version at release, and I don't want to wait forever.

So there is one con to each of the guns I have selected (which is making it hard to pick one over the other), for the ICS, its that the hop up adjustment is external (it can be bumped during play) and the bolt cover doesn't move (less realistic), while with the classic army the bolt cover actually moves and the hop up adjustment is internal. The potential problem with the classic army is 1) it has what appears to be a much thicker trigger compared to all the other brands that make MP5s, is the trigger response mushy in anyway? And 2) The bolt cover appears to be a gray color while the rest of the gun is black, is it very noticeable? Would I be able to paint it a flat black (or would the paint chip off when opening the bolt cover)?

Thanks for the help
