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.

Nope. You are wrong. I've been down this road before and figured this out years ago, just through trial and error. A 9.6v 2600 mah battery in the PEQ of an old M4 I had would not run an M110 spring, but as soon as I tried an 8.4v 2400 mah battery, it would run the gun all day. The 9.6v used AA cells, and the 8.4v used sub-C cells.
The discharge rate does not cover in-rush, which for an 8 amp draw can equal many times that, maybe 30 amps or more easily. 14 amps does not equal 30, and that's why your motor can't fully start and cycle the gun.
