The CXP UK1 Captain is ICS' newest gun! Given that it's from the UK1 series, it features a split design gearbox, full metal body, and a keymod rail system. This gun packs all the features of the other UK1 rifles into a package that's under 2 feet in length! The Captain was designed as a PDW style rifle, combining the maneuverability and weight of a sub-machine gun with the range and modularity of a rifle.
The Captain is available in either Tan or Black, and also has options for either a smaller bare buffer tube or a full MTR style stock. This gun has a full metal body with full ICS UK1 trademarks, as well as a metal keymod rail system. This rail is a grand total of 6 inches in length, and has keymod slots on the bottom and sides. The flip up front sight is build right into the top of the rail, making it extra low profile. The included rear sight is rail mounted and matches in color. The rail system matches up exactly with the 6 inch barrel, which perfectly nests the enlarged flash hider. ICS also includes a 300 round high capacity T-Mag, and an upgraded ergonomic pistol grip.
For being so small, this rifle has a surprising amount of rail space. We threw a Lancer Tactical M4 Red & Green Dot on the receiver. The Bravo PEQ 15 Laser and Flashlight fits perfectly on the top rail, while having the front sight flipped up. In order to mount the Hera HFG Grip or any other standard picatinny accessory to the Captain, you'll have to use an ICS Keymod Rail Section. Even with all these accessories mounted, we still had the 10 entire keymod slots unoccupied!
Internally, the ICS Captain has the standard UK1 features. The ICS Split Design Gearbox makes upgrades and repairs a breeze, as you only have have to pop out one pin and you're already looking at the inside of your gearbox. This system also allows you to quickly swap upper gearboxes if you're transitioning between high FPS outdoor play and restricted indoor play. Even though this gearbox has all of these unique features, it's still a Version 2 gearbox, making it completely upgradeable with most V2 parts on the market.
At the end of the day, the ICS Captain comes in at only $269.99, a small price point for a small rifle.
