8.4v vs 9.6v
 

Hey guys i planning to buy and other good gun (im 16 years old so i cant buy a classified) ok so what is the difference between an 8.4v and a 9.6 oh and an other question does the lipo in lipo ready does it break the gun ty :)

9.6V are one cell bigger than 8.4V and the only real (dis)advantage to having the 9.6V is the increased rate of wear/fire over the 8.4V. Where there is a benefit, there is also a really big con, is why I wrote the way I did. Stick with 8.4V and you'll be fine.

So its better going for an 9.6 v gun right ? any idea where to find some good gun under 400 with a battery :)

Unless you're willing/able to conduct frequent repairs and maintenance on your AEG, I'd stay away from the 9.6V. Yes, you get a faster rate of fire, but it can wreak havoc on your mechbox if you don't look after it more.

But when the compagny gift a 9.6 v battery with it will it be safier to use an 8.4 ?

it all depends on the make of the aeg, some of them will be able to take the extra power from a 9.6v while some don't. BTW what make is you're aeg?

...if the gun is designed for use with a 9.6V, then use it.

But in my experience most mechboxes aren't. What company did this, btw?

Ok :) Ty going to buy this one : https://www.buyairsoft.ca/gandg-m14-ebr-max.html

I dont recommend that website

Why ?
New to airsoft btw

In my experience, a nice 8.4v large will be comparable to a low quality 9.6v mini.

Lipo itself does not break a gun - the real issue here is available amps.
I high quality 7.4v lipo will still have stupid high ROF and response.

So long answer short: depends on the ratings of the cell itself.


PS: buy a large 8.4v NiMh and you'll be laughing.

I personally use 9.6v batteries.....massive NiMH ones.....5500 mah :D but i would recommend an 8.4

with regards to the website, They are pretty overpriced and I believe people have been scammed there before.

to be honest I havent dealt with that stuff.. although i do have a broxa MP5 and a TSD VSR clone I mainly use my CA, TM and RS..I was once your age when i was getting into airsoft, i was 15 when I started so i know exactly how you are feeling right now. That gun you wanted to get off of buyairsoft was a grand and it is NOT worth it.

My advice to you is to save your money untill you are 18 then get avd and flip though the classifieds then looking for something nice. The reason i recommend u to save your money is because you will need to buy a gear loadout, mags, radio, mask/goggles. It all really adds up very fast. Also those few years will allow you to ask questions and do research before you make a BIG investment in an AEG. I know i made a mistake when I got into airsoft and i would do a lot different If i could do it over because i got ripped off

A great starter weapon in my opinion is would be a full metal ICS or CA armalite series. Have a look into those

again, ASC is a wealth of knowledge, look in the discussion sections for threads on weapons and gear, if you read up you can discover and learn from other peoples mistakes.

The experienced players on ASC are usually more than happy to answer your questions but make sure you look around to see that someone else hasnt already answered your question in another thread because that is a one way trip to getting flamed...

If you want you can PM me with some questions if you need to, I've been in your situation before so I know what your feeling :)

cheers

Yeah your right i'll save my money and wait t'ill 18 i already have a nice gear set-up real Canadian army vest (not with bullet shield ) i have a lot of gear except for radio and mask
Also in 2 years from now the airsoft will be better so yeah before doing a stupid buy i'll wait t'ill 18 to wait im going to play with my brother who have 2 nice airsoft :)

He's getting AV soon so i'll see what it looks like all the retailers and the guns :)

Personnal note my favorite type of gun are the m14s :)
And the G36's series

TM M14s are very nice and I dont really know much about G36s or what brands are good, but again M14s are expensive and very long... keep that in mind

Year m14 are longs but more accurate :) also i love scars style too just a question does the barrel change the accuracy ?

I'd say buy a kracken or something cheap then save up so atleSt you can play

You do realize that it's frowned upon to use someone elses account or to let someone non-AV'd access to an AV'd account? Good way to get you both banned!!

Why been banned i wont buy or use anything i will just check how it is :S

Oh and i wont go on his account i'll check when he'll be on anyway he does not have the same ip as me

you are digging yourself a hole... just stop

If you want to see the prices in the classifieds see Surebet's post here. He has a breakdown of various pieces and the prices they have sold for. This is much, much safer than using your brother's account.
