Ares are notoriously meh. Their l85a3 also has very few positive reviews, this being the only video ive seen that is positive on it. Stick with your ICS a2, and if you want an A3 look, get an angry gun a3 rail and spray the metal to match the a3
@@OMDolton84 if I'm honest, it's not a lot of change, it has a floating barrel, but because of the handguard it's harder to oil the gas parts. But the sling loop on it makes it more flexible. I think it's ok, but mostly because it's something new.
Love the H&K style iron sights that it comes with, I enjoyed using them a lot on my VFC HK416A5. Also the handguard is reminiscent of the one on HK416A7, a 416 variant not available to airsofters yet. As a H&K lover this is the bullpup that I would definitely opt for (coincidentally the real steel L85 is also upgraded by H&K)
Great video AirsoftMike!! The Ares L85a3 is very very beautiful and such a great looking platform to alternate all the m4s in the hobby/sport!! "GOOOORGEOUSSS!!" (i had to lol)
Idk but i have the feeling ares guns just hate me. My 1st Ares was a Scar L, the hop up chamber broke and i have no idea where to get another one. Then i bought a M4 and on the first game it keeps on jamming and well barrel was damaged. So for me so far Ares kinda hates me or sth.
Hope all is well Mike always look forward to seeing new videos I've bought a glock 17 gen 4 and it's amazing was wondering if u had any idea on wot to get next as it would be much appreciated
Having used the A1 while serving, I absolutely despise the thing…I even refuse to use them when playing FPS games! That being said…this actually looks pretty good. The basic operation is the same as the original, the hold-open catch works, the safety and mag catch seem solid, and it ‘should’ fit an original (A1) sling. I’m slightly tempted, but we’ll see after I get my RA Tech M14 gbb.
Hi Mike if you get one can you please do a review of the Secutor Aquila LMG? Got my eye on one but I wanna know what people think of it and your reviews have influenced a few of my buying choices!!!
Got this from Land Warrior and it failed and they will not uphold the warranty, despicable service considering its 3 weeks old and I'm brand new to Airsoft. Left a horrible taste in my mouth especially after spending over £1000 with them. It has a 15cm inner barrel inside it, after comparing to two other owners and it should a 51cm inner barrel. That amongst a chopped super tight spring, steel tooth broken off and a piston cap sheared off. It never fired straight and Ares and Land Warrior never responded to my email. Abysmal and I'll probably walk away from a sport I was starting to enjoy, especially as it takes me back to days in the service.
as a left-hander , (and a fan of almost anything OTHER than an la85 in any way shape or form would have been SO much better to just buy M4), this is unusable if you aint a rightie. Sad really. Coz this looks pretty sweet. If you like right handed bull pups,,,,
Off topic question but my gun uses the same batteries as this and when I charge them fully and get three green lights on the charger , if I plug it straight back in I get three red lights again straight away is my battery not charging or is this a fault, as they go green again eventually and the same thing happens anyone have any idea? I presumed if I took it out after going green if I plugged it back in they should still be green and not charge . The batteries are brand new aswell not even played a game with them yet
No, he was about to upload over a week ago and the new primary he will be featuring had a major malfunction but he should be ready with a replacement this weekend, with an explanation!
YES, JUST YES! I WAS WAITING FOR YOU TO REVIEW THIS!!!!
Meeeeee too bruv
Airsoft Mike over the years of you doing videos your still a legend.
Not gone lie the new L85 generation looks sick as hell, and I’ve ALWAYS hated the look of em. Until now off course.
😅 na i got to disagree, i love the look of the a1, l98a2
The RIS looked fine on the 82 imo when I was younger I didn’t like L85s periods now I love ‘em lol
Just got done with getting all my parts on for my ICS L85A2 today (Daniel defense RIS and an M302 launcher) and after this video i want that Ares too!
Would those parts work on the ICS L-86A2 LSW?
@@deaconvelos8352i think so. I had to adjust the rail to fit on my L85

Man I had a smile from start to finish that was GOLD!!!!
Looks stunning, the finish on that front end is glorious!
As a British soldier, my battalion was actually issued L85A3s, I didn't know an Airsoft gun was made of it yet
Thanks for your service mate
@@TheGreyWolf94 don't need to thank me, but appreciate your words. 👍👍
@@dombi98 Thanks for your service, man.
What do you think of the A3 compared to the A2?

Airsoft Mike is such a wholesome gem
liked the vid and subbed, just because i love the energy in this vid
Loved that bruh bit 😂, love the video, keep up the good work
I'm sick and very tired of cardboard boxes. This is nicely done. I hope others take notes on all replicas.
Nice review. I have a few Star SA80 A2's that i used quite a few years ago. What a difference.
Awesome gun so many memories of bf4
So Cool Good Job . I Love L85A3
Cool piece and vid Mike 👍 looks like it belongs in the Alien movie universe 😊 . Missing the " perfect " though on ya vids
L85a1s were in alien, check the weapon rack scene. Yeah, im a nerd…
i know i shouldn't but i do love a L85.
Wow, an L85 finally looks good 💜
Great video as always airsoft mike!
Just picked one up today and very happy with it.
My buddy has one of these and it’s amazing expensive but amazing
Nice detachable sight!
LOL on intro, Hera Arms Airsoft gun review?
Awesome video as usual Mike keep up the good work 👍👍
Nice threaded barrel and a standard rail but that battery compartment, why?
Feel like I need to get my hands on one to compare against the A3 rail kit I designed!
yours is much better!
Looks class. Hopefully some left time i have my ukara
Love the into💯
Great video AirsoftMike!! The Ares L85a3 is very very beautiful and such a great looking platform to alternate all the m4s in the hobby/sport!!
"GOOOORGEOUSSS!!" (i had to lol)
Ayyy the l85A3 such a nice gun, and I nice shooter dispite the wierd ergo lol
Ngl l85 is probs the only bullpup I would voluntarily choose over some 'classic' rifle and same goes for airsoft, and maybe desert tech mdr(x).
It looks great for sure. If you had to hump that thing around for years on end you’d soon change your tune
The rifle that I hate the most just turned sexier
k as an american who loves ARs i also have a soft spot for bullpups-
I NEEEDD IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Idk but i have the feeling ares guns just hate me.

Then i bought a M4 and on the first game it keeps on jamming and well barrel was damaged.

I love the L85A3, but the fact that the battery compartment is so freakin" small, this model is a No Go for me ;-(
Agreed, if it was front wired that would be great
I love a bullpup.. But I hate Key-Mod
Hope all is well Mike always look forward to seeing new videos I've bought a glock 17 gen 4 and it's amazing was wondering if u had any idea on wot to get next as it would be much appreciated
Wish they would make a gel blaster version of this like with the Tavor. Love my bullpups 🤤
Well isn’t there supposed to be 2 parts on the unboxing of the gold m1 garand
@F1rocks Why are you putting your irrelevant comment on somebody else's comment?
@@kingarthur7051 they are good if you can't have airsoft, anyway, hope it makes you feel better yucking someone else's yum.
I love watching your videos Mike you are awesome guy! Would you recommend this one or the ETU g&g version same price
Just the case is awesome!! I need this in my life !!

Thankyou for your service. Mad respect 🫡
The A2 wasnt bad but the A3 is much much better
Can you review the brand new glock 45 from umarex/vfc?
Damn people be hella quick
"And just I case...." haha pun :p
ok... that one will take a while... 😄
Been a bit man. Wondering why you been off air for a bit
Wow, that is a beautiful looking rif 😍
I was watching this gun on patrol base looks amazing once I get a defence I’ll buy this
Ey mate airsoft on a budget?
I just ordered this gun, well the standard version.
which batteries have you found fit nicely in this?
The L85. The UK's BEAUTIFUL disgrace 😍
Disgrace?
@@rikwilliams6352 It is king’d one of, if not The, worst rifle in the world.
@Huhe.Jass You are wrong. The A1 yes, the A2 maybe, but the A3 NO!!! The A3 is a huge improvement, thanks to German input.
I want it. Nothing else to say.
Great Review. Can you tell us which sight you have on the gun later in the video - and also are the splatter targets you use available in the UK?
Hi Mike if you get one can you please do a review of the Secutor Aquila LMG? Got my eye on one but I wanna know what people think of it and your reviews have influenced a few of my buying choices!!!
Very stuck on battery situation need help! 11.1 preferred
Plz do more official Umarex/elite force glock reviews! There are a couple more you have yet to review.
I can't believe I only found out about this Beautiful replica today
So I just bought an army l85 last month then this comes out
Sheeeeeeeesh that L85!!!!
If I were to ever get this rifle it will absolutely be rewired to the handguard. Wiring it to the grip was a stupid idea.
Review the tm aa12
It looks nice
Just don’t forget to forward assist 👋🏻
That's irrelevant on a mock bolt that doesn't feed a round.
Any link to the battery please?
Hello Mike, I've a question, maybe a noob one, but no matter, for what are those numbres on the tactical rail?
I didnt know there was an L85A3
You Should Get Airsoft Draco❗️
My issued rifle has never looked that clean 🤣
Ares really made an ebb with a glorified nine volt for a standard battery
I still prefer the look of the standard LA85 and SA80
Mike, on the battery situation Ares, is recommending an 11.1v , do you know of any that will fit in the pistol grip?
I am suprised it did not jam
Very nice, very very nice.

Nice
What was that battery that fits only i can't make out the writing on it
Can I put a single-point sling on it? And how?
I'm looking to buy this gun right now. Do you think its worth 580€ ?
7 months later I'm getting it today
I want this A3 in gbb is it on market already?
Hey what battery was that that fitted the gun?
Is the L85 basically the UK counterpart to the M249 saw in the US?
Not in any way. The L85 is a magazine fed rifle not a belt fed SAW/LMG. It is the equivalent to an M4 or M16.
Off topic question but my gun uses the same batteries as this and when I charge them fully and get three green lights on the charger , if I plug it straight back in I get three red lights again straight away is my battery not charging or is this a fault, as they go green again eventually and the same thing happens anyone have any idea?

is there a gas or co2 version? not a fan of aeg
Hi, may i know the size which perfectly fit in the grip? Like xxcm x xxcm?
Im still waiting for a leftie Airsoft version cause the forgot about us ,'c
But its an ares...
NICE!
Sólo hace falta que mike de un obsequio
Anyone know where to get green gas rifle shell
that have the gas self contained like in a shotgun shell?
id love to get one of these , but im a leftie :(
How you lock the bolt doe
You havent posted in a while
Do you need a license to buy one of them in England
No, you need a UKARA permit or similar. Or you can get it with no permit, but the colour will be different. Google UKARA
You not gone again have you Mike?

Can you give me air soft dezert egel pls
What , what ! That’s sexy !
Where do you get air soft guns from
