The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Go Lipo, once you make the change, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner :)

You can find tiny lipos that will fit much easier than a standard stick battery - a 7.4V is enough.

Hi thanks for the info. Where is a reliable site to buy one from? My cybergun came with 8.4 batt will a li po 7.4 be enough for a sustained rate of fire?

Not sure what it's like for peeps in the US but I use one of the Hong Kong webstores (and have done for years).

Currently I tend to use either http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/ or http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/Home, as these guys are the most reliable at the moment (the "being reliable" trait seems to jump from place to place every 6months - a year). I've no real loyalty to these guys though and always tend to look at the other big players too - WGC / UNCo / etc.

I have bought the odd bit from http://www.evike.com/ and they were quite good to deal with (but they'd never be my 1st choice given HK is closer to me and Evike rebrand a lot of stuff as their own, which annoys me).

/rant :D

I've moved this thread into the appropriate 'Airsoft Arena' forum.

A 7.4v LiPo will provide more than enough juice for your Pulse Rifle.

I squeezed an 11.1v in mine, just for a more realistic (read insane) rate of fire.

There are many places to get them from. Over here in the UK, I use http://www.component-shop.co.uk


Remember it will need it's own special charger (about £10) and to make sure you don't destroy the battery, you'll need an alarm (about £5).

I'm sure there are a myriad of Airsoft shops over in the states that could supply you with a LiPo battery, or if that's a bit of a step too far for you, then they will be able to supply a standard NiMh Stick style battery.
Redwolf, evike... I'm sure someone can mention many better places.

You will need either a 8.4v or I think you could get in a 9.6v one (this may need some internal modification), and go for a high mAh, like 1500 or 1600, which I think is the largest they currently do in small 2/3A cell types.

NiMh:

Hey Chef, not meaning to be a dick but in all honesty, as an overseas buyer, I would *never* buy airsoft parts from the UK (unless it was a specific part that was out of stock *everywhere* else - I have done this once :| ).
Stuff is just so much more expensive and shipping out of the UK is a killer.

Direct from HK is the way (being sure whatever you are importing is ok with your country's Customs).

I only mention this because propmainiac is US-based.

I did gather that, hence saying he could probably find somewhere in the states....

the links were more for illustrative purposes.

Just like I would *never* buy airsoft bits from new zealand.

Ah yes, so you did. Apologies, I missed that on [skim] reading your post.

And indeed + lol - I too would *not* buy from NZ (local mark-up is a killer).
