It's also why most of us recommend the 7.4v LiPo for stock guns, generally same power output as a 9.6v mini but with much less trigger arcing due to the lower voltage.

I'd recommend the 7.4v LiPo, or a 9.6v mini battery if you don't want to get into LiPo. If you find the ROF too slow with the LiPo, you can upgrade the motor or gearset to increase ROF.
