i pride ARES on making new and interesting guns (re: WA2000), but their guns are too proprietary IMHO

ya but you see a normal stick battery in there, are you going to have to connect tamiya plugs everytime? (very prone to ripping wiring out when trying to reload in a panic, tamiyas don't like to go backwards)

but if it was like a copper to copper contact like a cellphone battery or ya an aep that'd be okay if the battery was the mag like built in (it looks seperate from here)

but damn say you had six mags, you'd have to charge six batteries, fuck you'd short out the block you'd need every plug in the house, and if you forgot to charge a mag you couldn't shoot that mag, with an aeg if you forget to charge a batt, swap it out and you can still fire all your mags, not with thise system from what I see

It doesn't make sense to have six magazines with six batteries in them. Don't think ARES is that stupid enough.

Not sure if you are refering to my post but I meant that the magazine is built in (can not be removed), so a very thin magazine like a AEP magazine would make sense.

I should rather hope that the magazine isn't stuck in-place. That seems like it might tarnish somewhat the "unsurpassed realism" bit, no?

It is also complete shit.

this is a possibility I think, not very realistic tho plus you'd have to take off that base plate every time too

I'll take a wild guess that the magazine could possibly be a battery powered hi cap


(Similar to a M249) that also powers the AEG with the mag installed via something like copper to copper.

This would make sense of the unsurpassed realism boast as the aeg cannot be fired without a magazine installed.

There are a # of WW2 guns seem to be hi cap only (BAR, MP44, Ares PPSH41.

Let's say the M3 mag is a 500 rd hi cap and holds a 1100 MAH battery. This would make sense since the battery would be half drained by the time the hi cap is empty.

what im thinking is that the mag is a mid cap or a low cap mag with a slot for the battery hollowed out on the inside just deep enough so that the battery can stick out and the battery has 2 prongs on it that connect with 2 prongs on the inside of the mag well kinda like a gbb mag but instead of gas its electricity. i could be wrong but thats my guess

My guess is that it's another proprietary POS Ares gun lol

Ares is one of the only manufacturer that is making truly unique release (PPSH-41 for instance :D); yet, they can't seem to get it right with this one...

Hopefully it is only a temporary design flaw waiting to be fixed until the final release...

If not, then, facepalm for Ares

Really, the only "reasonable" (and I use that term loosely here) way to do that would be electrical contacts on the mags to power the gun. What would mean a battery in every mag, which would be expensive and inconvenient as hell. I'm not even sure what to make of this, really.

I just hope its marketed as a collectors gun and not a skirmishable one.

The hell... ?

I hope that's for a spare battery...

maybe the battery is connected inside the magazine and there is a set of contacts on the magazine and in the mag well? like a laptop battery?
