IS it ok to put a 9.6v battery into a Galaxy mp5k?

    I recently bought a Galaxy mp5k off boards. I shoots well but ROF was not great like all other mp5k's. I tried a 9.6v large type batteryin it and the ROF was dramatically increased. Would a 9.6v battery wear the gun down until it breaks or would it be ok to just do short round bursts at a time?

    Thanks
    Tommy

    Well of course a 9.6v battery will wear parts down until they break, but so will an 8.4v battery. The 9.6v will just wear things out faster.

    For example if a piston can fire 10,000 BB's before it breaks and a 9.6v battery gives you 20rps, an 8.4v giving you 15rps. The piston will obviously break with the 9.6v battery first. But sticking with an 8.4v battery won't save your piston from breaking it just won't happen as soon.
    *These figures are completely made up.

    So it's up to you to decide whether you want your parts to last longer or if you want a higher RoF. I personally run a 9.6v in my MP5K (and having been doing so for about a year without problems).

    The galaxy is regarded as fairly tough internally so should be able for 9.6, you have to cut the cocking handle down a little to allow a 9.6 to fit though, a simple enough job.
