My 3s 6k Maxamps pack (crappy MA wrapping was falling apart after the first run, that's the pack wrapped in electrical tape and new shrinkwrap):


My Bushmaster XM-15:


Put it downrange and did it justice:





For those that still think Lipos are really unstable, they smoked a lot but never caught fire.

All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.

It was charged a few weeks ago, so yeah it was probably empty already. Gave off a lot of smoke and smelled but from where I was standing I couldn't see flames.

Lipos, soda cans, old computer parts, ground squirrels, badgers, etc.

Got real rifles for hunting, .223/5.56 NATO is really weak.

Well, it looked powerful anyways! I could't tell what caliber it was- not a gun person myself. At least not the propellant-driven kind.

It's excellant for varmint, sport shooting, etc. but if you want to bring down an animal you want something that's going to go in and bring it down. No need to make it suffer. I didn't want to use anything too big on it, either, got to be enough of it left to show Jason

I really can't see a .50 round bouncing off of anything...too much energy. Either it disintegrates, or goes straight through! Shooting one that close would be exciting though!

Yeah, 50 BMG can shoot thru 2-3 feet of dirt... I like something full auto myself, like an ak74.
