Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Mostly standard internals, great trigger system and other innovations
Cons:	some mechanics and gb part are not well mechanically refined

The Good,
The foregrip will hold up to 9 sub-c cells and removal is easy. The body is solid and firm. The trigger system is great, it reduces arching and feels great, it also keeps all electrical mechanics out of the GB except for motor wires. The hop-up unit retains its setting well and works well. It comes with 2 hi-caps. Another one of the perks of the GB is 7mm bushings. It also has an adjustable spring guide, allowing the user to change velocity and ROF without changing springs. The list goes on...

The Bad:
The internals of this gun are normal for ICS, be wary of the piston head, it can come apart easily in cold weather. To remove the HU/ barrel assembly you must remove 6 screws, although they do keep it in very tight. Some parts are not refined, for example, the trigger on mine squeaked a little for a while. The motor adjustment screw can loosen itself eventually. The charging lever is very breakable. The outer barrel is not threaded. It is not lefty friendly at all. It is hard to adjust the sites. Etc

Overall this gun is great, I love skirmishing with it because it looks unique and performs well. With some new bucking and a little upgrading it will have great range and accuracy.
