"I recently bought this rifle and all i can say is that it is an amazing rifle. i pulled it out of the box put on the sights charged up the battery and test fired this think and it was amazing, its really accurate, the hop up is great and i love the full metal design its an all around good rifle. the rate of fire on this rifle is crazy as well i was able to go though a 450 round hi-cap in less than a minute just make sure when you play to take lots of ammo.

"I don't think I'll ever buy a non bullpup gun ever again! I honestly think bullpup is the best design for Airsoft because no bullets will blow up in your face anyways so why not the more compact design + long barrels! Was shopping for a P90 or L85 and ended up...getting both!
Pros:
Huge range. 200 feet easy with .25's
Great accuracy as well.
Great power at around 400 fps.
Maneuverable. The bullpup configuration makes it great when stalking that sniper.
Short overall size. It's the size of an M4 but has the barrel of an M16.
Takes M4 mags.
Sturdy build.

"This is a very well built rifle and the best L85 on the market if you are in the market for one.

"I love my L85 and you will too if this is the look you are going for. Takes M4 magazines but not just another M4!

"I have 2 of these, one set up for CQB and one for indoor. Both are fantastic and feel great to use. I love the adjustable spring guide as it does allow for some flexibility when needed and obviously let's you change the spring without disassembling the whole box. I did get the rail modification so it can mount any normal rail optic which is a pain that they don't just include one in the box but that's ICS for ya.
Very good gun overall and has a nice long barrel in it. If you want to get a toghtbore, you can easily go 15 to 20mm over the stock length as it barely gets into the flashhider stock much less past it.
I did have a problem getting the muzzles off the gun as I found that the set screw has been stripped and idk what kind of glue used to hold the flash hider in but boiling wouldn't get it off. I suggest get a new outer barrel if you run into this problem and want to mount a tracer.

"The ICS L85a2 is one of my favorite airsoft rifles I own, it’s solid reliable and exotic on the field! It also has a quick spring change gearbox which you can change the fps very quick! I highly recommend this rifle!

"My favorite rifle I've ever owned. Excellent performance. It is very niche, leftys are not going to like this gun. But, for those looking for a bullpup rifle, I recommend NOTHING else. 10/10. You NEED to buy the rail for the gun. The Susat rail is garbage. But, it's worth the buy. This rifle is my go to rifle.

"This machine is Wicked. i'm running mine with a 9.6v NIMH pack with nothing else and it is great. Awesome Bi-Pod, full metal BB spitting beast. It is a bit heavy around 11lbs empty but still lighter than most LMGs . I'm old and slow so it fits my playing style great. Get a decent strap and you can either spray and pray or shoulder it up and use the iron sights. It doesn't need an optic in my opinion as it has great range and good accuracy.
Only problem i have now is deciding what type of Hi-Cap mag I'm going to use. It will empty a 400 round mag like no ones business.
Great buy!

"I've had this gun for almost 8 months now, and I have to say it's been the best rifle I've ever bought. Straight out of the box it was firing at 420 feet per second, and it has been very consistent with its accuracy. Although it is on the heavier side, since most of the gun is metal, but is makes up for that in its performance, the range is quite surprising on this l85, and I mean surprising in a good way. I also get plenty of compliments on the field because of this guns unique bullpup design. This gun is a tank, I've dropped it into mid, sand, dirt, and just right onto pavement, and when I pick it up it's fine, a scratch or two, but that's character. I've done a lot of stupid things with this gun, but it is still going strong. Even though it may seem loud when firing, it's because your ear is very close to the gear box, but from a range it's pretty quiet, and you get used to the noise, or you wear a shelter to block out some of the noise. Overall this is a great gun, I have yet to have a problem with it, I recommend it for someone who doesn't mind a heavier gun for great performance.

"If you are looking for an accurate and headturning-CQB gun, then the ICS L85 Carbine does the job.
Pros-
Unique, people will compliment/comment you on it
Powerful at about 400-420 FPS, could be a con
Looks and feels like the L85: steel and polymer
Range
Short for CQB, but accurate
Adjustable Springs
Easy disassembly
Easy to access motor, hopup, and other internals through the back
Flash hider isn't huge and bright orange, threadings are 14mm negative counterclockwise
Carry handle helps with the weight
Cons:
Very limited rail space, top rail can either fit SUSAT or a 20mm found on evike
Daniel Defense Rail will not fit this model, even with the adapter. You can make it fit by removing a small circular portrusion on the left of the gun, where the screw holding the left handguard is. A hacksaw or filer will do the trick.
Heavy for smaller/skinnier people, with attachments and rails can be up to 15 lbs
Too powerful for CQB (adjust springs)
Sight for 19mm top rail is expensive-75-100$
My fuse broke three times and my motor broke twice, had to replace with a better motor and 30 amp fuse
Be careful with 9.6 v in this gun, can make what happened to me ^^
Overall after some internal work, this gun works like a charm. Very manueverable and able to keep up with longer and costlier guns. Would not recommend for those willing to pay up to $150 right off the bat just to buy rails. Otherwise, very fun and cool gun to use.

"The L85A2 has always been a dream rifle of mine stemming from playing Battlefield 2 (The PC-only one) as it was the first unlock for the medic class. Needless to say, when there was a sale on this rifle, I immediately jumped on it. By the time I got the ICS L85A2, nearly all major video games I had has the L85A2 as my top weapon.
Putting gaming aside, the L85A2 is a seriously mean rifle. Should I go to a CQB field, the FPS can be adjusted to an acceptable FPS. Should I go to any other field, I put her (I like calling my L85A2 a "she" (her name is Vera)) on the highest spring. When I got this on stock, I actually didn't have to adjust the hop-up or adjust the sights. I could be lucky on that, but it was very easy to adjust the hop-up and adjusting the carry handle sights is through knobs near the aiming aperture.
The rifle is pretty easy to take apart, just like the actual one (according to sources I've read). Upon opening (I can't stress this enough, but open the two halves with the bottom part of the rifle on top), you'll be met with the gearbox with the motor case attached to the gearbox with wires protruding from a small insert along the the top portion of the upper receiver. If you've opened up the rifle on its proper side, the gearbox might fall off and the wires may break off a motor tab. The gearbox is unique for the ICS L85A2. The motor is of good quality for a stock. The Hop-Up unit is unique, but shouldn't be too hard to figure out. The trigger contacts was ingeniously thought of and you are likely not to experience the rifle misfiring from a slight pull on the trigger (may be good for some, bad for others). You kind of hear a click every time the rifle fires. The battery is wired to the handguard, which is very easy to remove. The wiring also implements an easy way to change out the fuse (the fuse fried for me about three times, but it was a very easy fix).
The rifle is indeed fugly. It's a bullpup. Now that may seem to scare people because of the awkwardness upon switching to a bullpup, but it has its perks. The barrel length can fit a 509mm (the one included is not that length). The magazine well is in the further back part of the rifle. With the ICS L85A2, you have the compactness and versatility of an M4 with the range of an M14. (This paragraph is a stated message that bullpups are pretty darn good rifles, even if they're not pretty (after all, it doesn't matter if the weapon is pretty or not, as long as it performs well)).
Upgrading the rifle is easy and I've managed to do a quick, on-the-spot repair on Vera in the middle of a firefight (and the field is in the brushy woods). There may not be much room at first to expand. The rail holding the carry handle is the L85 proprietary weaver rail (like in real life), which is 19mm. There seems to be only the SUSAT scope, which, as well as in real life, is made specifically (note, if you're looking at SUSAT scopes for this weapon, there are two types of SUSAT Scopes on Evike - one has a 20mm adapter for other guns and one does not. The one with the 20mm adapter can be used on both, as the 20mm adapter can be removed to place on the weapon. The one without the adapter can only be placed on this type of rifle. However, the one with the 20mm adapter has a crosshair type scope and the one without the adapter is the straight pin type scope. The straight pin type scope is the type used on real SUSAT scopes). If you do not wish to have the 19mm weaver rail, there are replacement rails that you can buy here at Evike that are 20mm. When using a scope, it is optional and easy to remove the front sight. As I mentioned before, the stock barrel isn't reaching its true length. The lack of rails may be a bother to some airsoft-smithing enthusiast, but the handguard can be replaced with a Daniel Defense Rail Handguard (an adapter must also be installed for fitting the handguard to the ICS version, as the handgaurd is intended for the G&G version (both the handguard and adapter is sold on Evike (also separate from each other))). Thus, the Daniel Defense Rail Handguard will open up many possibilities for you.
Vera has never failed me and she is quite easy to fix and maintain. I recommend using heavier BBs as the FPS can be hard-hitting (and with upgrades, it is also very much recommended). Vera fell along the wall about 5 inches into the hard ground and still has not faltered or mess up. If you can maintain an airsoft rifle well (because this gun is practically more than $300.00, you really do have to take care of it), this is an interesting weapon for you to add to your arsenal. If this is your first bullpup, you will not be disappointed.

"This rifle is amazing! It feels great in your hands, as the weight is very realistic. The quick adjustable/change spring system really makes this gun brilliant. I don't need to buy a new spring for different arenas, as the quick change spring system makes it so much easier to lower or increase the FPS. G&P Mid-cap metal magazines work the best for me in this airsoft gun, but others may have a different opinion. If someone needs a long lasting airsoft gun for all events, this is the one gun you need!
