I own a ICS M4 as my first gun and ended up dropping $400 down the sink because of my lack of experience with the gun. ICS like to use their own threads for the upper receiver of their M4, not sure about the MP5. Just a heads up.

Another thing is, the split gearbox is amazingly easy to work with compare to other AEG. Just changing the spring you'll need to disassemble the motor, pistol grip, mag release, and the stock just to pull the damn gearbox out. Once you got it open and swap parts, you'll have to make sure everything(gears, anti re-latch, trigger and safety) are all aline properly VS pulling the spring guide out and putting a new spring in, close and done. Don't forget you'll have to put the pistol grip and motor back together then test it out to make sure it works. If not, disassemble everything and try again.

Bottom line is, the split gearbox is extremely easy to work with compare to other brand of AEG. Also if you have a thing for MP5s, V3 gearbox are even worse(DAMN TRIGGER SPRING!).

Heavy BB(.25+), proper sight adjustment(laserbore helps) and proper hop up(200'+ space) setting would greatly improve your accuracy. I also hope your using some kind of target(paper, shoebox) and not aiming at random trees like I did back in the days.

I'd love to help you out seeing how your in Calgary.
