If a fully charged 8.4v 600mah Mini battery can pull a Systema M120 (400fps) Spring on a full charge, and do so for at least 200 rounds, then whatever mini he is using should be fine on full charge.

He stated earlier on his post that the battery was fully charged. Average Mini is about 1400-2000mah, which will have no problems cycling his box. Im not stating that minis are good for gaming as the low capacitance will cause the battery to die alot quicker than a higher capacitance large cell battery. But the issue here is cycling, not gaming.

telling a new player to force more power into his box before he properly eliminates the possible issues can cause him to make the situation worse. You dont know if theres a loose shim or screw wedged in the box, and you have not determined so. The only information given is that there is a clicking sound (which could be any number of things), and that the battery that was used to cycle the box earlier was now fully charged.

Unless you have the gun in YOUR hands, doing the diagnosis yourself, you should not make "definate" conclusions. For online diagnosis, suggest ways to eliminate possible causes so that he can diagnose it and confirm results himself, or have the box sent to a gun doc.

When youve been doing guns as long as I have, you will realize that not everything is straight foreward and improperly diagnosing or suggesting methods which have the potential to damage the box further (Ie. Forcing the box with more power) can cost the player alot more money in parts and labour if he has to now for example replace the gearset, replace the piston etc etc. He already stated that his wiring and battery was getting hot (ie motor is not turning at all, but its attempting to do so unsuccessfully, which draws much more current, causing the wiring and battery to get hot), forcing more power, will just increase the issue exponentially.
