If you really want to know, take a multimeter and meaure the rseistance across the battery connector on the gun. The reistance should be very high, many thousands of ohms perhaps.

Next take the voltage of your battery and divide that number by the resistance measurement you took. The number will be very small. EG. 8.4v/10000=0.00084 amps.

Now if you have a 3000mah (or 3.000 ah) then you divide 3.000 by 0.00084 to equal 3571.4 hours.

This is assuming 10kohm circuit resistance (probably higher) and no shorts in wiring or other problems (abnormal condidtions).

I think you'll be fine.

*EDIT*
I just measured my Marui AUG with my Fluke meter and it exceeded 10Mohms.

I still think you'll be more than fine.
