Help identifying battery connector?
 

Just bought a new gun, not sure what connector it is to buy battery with.

Isn't like a deans or mini tamiya.

Thank you so much!

Looks like this.

Seems like it to me, thanks so much!

XT60 connector.

Now obviously these aren't common for airsoft. What do you guys recommend me to do? Should I buy an adapter off eBay (potentially weeks in shipping) or solder it myself?

Cut it, and solder it to deans. Much lower resistance and more durable than a Tamiya, and much more easily found than your XT60. I found adapters increase the resistance significantly, and is another breaking point in your wiring (ie, not as robust).

Go for deans. Either order a bunch off eBay, or go to your local hobby shop.

XT60 are way better, and way easier to find that Deans.
Almost all new LiPo batterie (except airsoft) now come from factory with this.

If you have space, leave the XT60, as the name implies, it can take 60A safely. Dean's can do 40A at best if they are genuine (not likely), arounds 20A otherwise. The max current is directly related to the resistance caused by the connector.

From the looks of it, that's an M60 or similar support weapon ammo pouch. Get a 7000mAh 7.4v RC Car pack, it will be easy to find with XT60 already and should be enough for a full day of airsoft.

Problem with that is if your battery dies on you (either run out of charge or just plain quits), you'd have to be REALLY lucky to find somebody else with a spare battery with an XT60. AFAIK, Deans seems to be the convention for battery connectors with airsoft right now and should be easy to find someone with a spare they're willing to lend you.

The RC world went from Tamiya to deans (and others, like TRX and bullet connectors) and is now predominantly XT-60. Genuine deans have had a history of being expensive, which is part of the reason XT-60s have caught on. They're cheap, and idot-proof, and non-proprietary if I remember correctly. Performance different in terms of resistance between the two connectors is inconsequential for airsoft. Hobby King also had some sort of fallout with deans, as in the company, which is why we're seeing fewer packs being made with deans connectors.

In my opinion deans are better for airsoft, especially when a gun is setup to use buffer-tube lipos. XT-60s are larger, and hard to fit in tight places.

At the amperages most of us are running at, it really doesn't matter.
If you're running a high amp loading gun and spamming the trigger, even with a 30A load you're well within the capacity of normal deans. It's also burst loading and not constant load.
XT60 might get a better connection, but you don't really need it. They're also larger than deans, which is annoying.

The XT30 would be a better option than the XT60, still good to 30A and actually smaller than deans.
