I can run my fully upgraded M4 with a G&P M140 off a 1.5A 15C, that's 24A continuous. That 24A was also more than enough to use a new systema magnum motor that drew 12A and was shorting (due to the fact the poles aren't insulated from eachother).
People run systema PTWs off of a 1.1A 15C batt, that's a mere 16.5A

6A at 35c, that's 210A. That's enough to start my motorcycle lol

Anyway, it IS recommended in the noob LiPo thread that you use a fuse with your LiPo setup for safety, because the MOSFET won't protect from over-current draw.
Actually, some high end motors draw as much as 200 amps rush current. Average motors draw about 50 amps continuous, depending on spring. (High load = higher current draw). The difference between a 15C and 30C batteries is quite significant, especially for trigger response in semi auto. I personally used nothing less than 1600mAH 25C lipos in my DMR setup.

And @ CJay, MOSFETs by themselves usually don't have any over-current protection, it usually involves another circuit.. In the AWS, the micro controller is likely to have all the safety features built in.
