If you tried a battery made with sub-C cells at 1700 mah for example, it would likely run the gun fine.
i believe the size doesnt matter as long as the specs are correct. If its 9.6V it has a potential of that, and the milli amp rating would only show how long it would last.

the Discharge rate of a 2/3A battery is 14amps, that is more than enough to work the motor. the motor will draw as much as it can and im pretty much confident that its the battery being weak since i can only draw about 8 amps now from 10amps.
