Lol...no. You do not need a sorbo to shoot a 400fps or 450fps AEG (version 2 or otherwise). Plenty of guys (I think there were 3 or 5) blew their mechboxes 2 weekends ago at the outdoor games...it was just too cold. And I know at least two of them were shooting 350-380fps.

Single fire or full auto...I'm not sure that it'll make a difference. My gut tells me that a good burst of full auto will weaken-then-break a mechbox shell faster than the same number of spaced-out-semi shots...but part of me thinks that once a failure starts on a mechbox shell...it'll break "next-shot" quick.

My 11.1 1100mah 15c lipo is about the same as a 9.6mini or a really big 8.4v large...maybe a little faster...not much more than a 9.6v large though. 30+ RPS guns are silly anyways...fun to try and build...really expensive on parts...but practically useless for field games.

(note...personally, I've NEVER popped off the front of a mechbox in one of my field builds. I blown some on purpose testing failures...but never in a go-to field gun. But my field stuff runs pretty tame anyways).

Anyways...at the last Workshop I gave away all my clone/cyma/well/junk mechbox shells....so I don't really have any "stock" mechbox shells to test with. I'll scrounge up another to try and "pop" it....should be fun.
