^ That, with a stock gun. Upgrades can throw that off in either direction depending on what you do, if you increase the torque of your gun and throw in a more powerful spring the BB's per mAh will go down. If you throw in a lighter spring with high speed internals the BB's per mAh will go up because there's less stress on the motor and battery.

However you could do a crazy combination of high torque motor and high speed gears with slightly more powerful spring to get a faster ROF, and higher FPs at the same time in which cause your BB's per mAh will really drop.

Basically, more power = worse batter performance. More speed (within reason) = better battery performance. That said, with more speed you fire off BB's at a higher discharge rate so your battery may put more rounds down range but still die in the same time as a high power gun.

Get a LiPO.

I like to keep my guns firing between 600-800 rounds per minute. Any more and it really feels like a toy.

I'm finally getting into airsoft. I picked up a gun from a local shop, the owner said it would be decent for beginners. Echo 1 M8A4 CQB.

Also picked up an 80 buck red dot/laser sight combo.. definitely better than that Panther Arms DPMS I picked up about a year ago.

I CANT FIGURE OUT HOW THE FUCK TO TAKE OFF THE REAR SIGHT

There should just be one screw/bolt on the rear sight that you unscrew to detach it from the rail. From the looks of it it's the one on the right-side of the gun.

I was thinking of getting the red dot/laser sight combo but I didn't feel like spending an extra $40.

Also why do you need to take off the rear sight when you can just flip it down? On the left side I its a hex bolt I think from looking at the video, I think it needs a 2.5 hex screw driver to take the rear sight off.

My friend was in a situation just recently where it was absolutely necessary to use his $1,000 ARES M4 in extended long periods of full auto fire. His LiPO basically melted on him. Inside his gun.

Holy Fuck. That sucks.

Apparently he's an idiot and wasn't using a MOSFET. That or he tried to squeeze a few more shots out a depleted LiPO battery, they have issues when you try an "GIVE HER ALL SHE'S GOT" in comparison to NiMH batteries.

S'what he gets for using an M4...
