So I recently Obtained an SL-8 by Ares and absolutely love the thing. It`s not a G36 Conversion, The full blown thing. This thread mainly cries out to current owners of STAR/ARES SL-8`s and SL-9`s.

However I`m having a few issues with it already...

First off... Battery Life... I read up some other reviews online of the battery to get, 8.4`s or 9.6`s were reccomended so I grabbed one. However Jesus Christ does the thing chew up battery!!! O get MAYBE 15-30mins of shooting time with it. I`m thinking of trying a 9.6v 2200mah and see if that solves the issue..but im retarded anyways so let me know what you have in Yours.

Second thing,

Trigger response....It`s very awkward, compared to my RS Type56 its a zip zip zip as soon as i pull the trigger down,
With my SL8....If i dont pull the trigger hard it doesnt sound like it does anything, and then sounds like the battery has died, untill i switch it into full auto and fire...it fixes that issue but I`d rather use this as a semi-only gun. Makes a click click sound like your out of ammo in Counterstrike lol.

Third...Springs....
Gun came with a 410 or 430 FPS spring... I cant remember..but only puts out about 210 FPS with .25`s I purchased an M90 spring figuring: "okay lemme try this indoor" and the result sucked even more. I have decided not to use this gun at all for Indoors and keep it an exclusive Outdoor rifle or something.

Please SL-8 and SL-9 Owners! Help me out!
