Uh... Why? Even without modifications, you can still fit an 8.4V 1100mAh NiMH battery.

Because a 7.4v 1000mah lipo can pull a spring at a similar rate as a 8.4v large battery.

EDIT: Higher discharge rate, far superior to 9.6v minis, with similar/better ROF and power. Smaller than a 8.4v mini.

Last I checked, high discharge Lipos were still pretty damn expensive, not to mention the need to get an entirely different charging setup. Even a 30C pack won't be able to push as much current as a good 2/3A NiMH cell. You can get an 8.4V 1500mAh mini pack for $23... what about a 30C Lipo?

16.60 + shipping.

Lipo's have a lot of myths behind them.

You don't need 30C to push m120's, 11.1v 20C can push a M120 (400FPS, m4 length barrel) at 20-25 bbs per second and it's smaller than an 8.4v mini NIMH pack.

EDIT: I would like to state, for the record, that my battery knowledge comes from theory discussed on many airsoft/rcCar/rcPlane websites. I have no experience with LiPo batteries yet. I have ordered 2 11.1v 1600 mah lipo's from hobbycity, and they are waiting for me at my apartment for when I arrive on the 28th. I can give much better details then.

I was always talking about how superior NiMH batteries are to NiCad, and dispelling myths about them that sustain to this day... I worry I'm becoming a hypocrite by bringing up old information about Lipos. The last time I personally checked Lipo prices was only a few months ago, and I couldn't find any high performance packs that would cost you less than a hundred bucks. The industry really seems to be taking big leaps and bounds towards production efficiency.

What can I say, you may still convince me that Lipos are the way to go =P

I'm trying to convince myself too. Which is why I bought a few.

I really can't wait to get back to Toronto to test them out.

Judging from the videos I've seen though... They are absolutely awesome.

Google "KWA Lipo" and you'll see a stream of video's of 13 year olds playing with 30 bb per second guns. The trigger response looks insane.

personally i would rather have the normal P90's

[SDS_ShooterMcGavin]

Personally I don't see how the P90 could get uglier.

I'll agree that it does have an aquired taste that can either way for most, but I like them.

Respect the P90, it own in CQB.
But I like them in original form with as little bells and wisles on it as possible.

I wouldn't know really, I've played one CQB game ever. I hate it compared to outdoors.

yeah i wouldnt want a P90 with all exterior add on's i like the normal stock p90's i wouldnt tinker with the exterior only the internals,, p90's look cool dont make it look ugly and even bigger !! the p90 basically is for CQB so dont make it bigger!!
