As far as #1 goes, it's the very first round that I'm confused about. If I have a completely dry gun, it seems like the way to get a round in the chamber is to insert the mag and then pull the trigger to dry fire cycle the gun once, and after that it's a hot gun. That just seems odd to me.

What are the benefits to a deans connection setup and LiPo's over the current setup I have?





I did consider a GBBR at first for the realism component, but some light reading quickly made it pretty clear that an AEG was the more cost effective way to go in terms of the gun itself, and especially magazines. After that there was wear and tear and maintenance costs to consider. The nail in the coffin for the setup I have now is finding it for a very attractive price. I have a very lightly used rifle (that from what I have read is actually a good quality one) 5x magazines, battery/charger, and a tracer unit for under $300 to my door. I wanted to get my feet wet before jumping straight in, and I couldn't pass on an opportunity to get set up so inexpensively. Maybe once I can get age verified I can pop into the EE and see if something else catches my eye, or find someone interested in what I have.

Deans connectors are more secure, durable and offer less electrical resistance. Lipo's have a high energy density, a better flat cell design and a high discharge rate.
