The gun is equipped with a MERF 3.2, a Lonex A2, 14AWG wiring, and a whack of other stuff. There's not a stock part left on it.
I would have to take the MERF out, as that can't handle anything above 14.8V But what about the rest of the system? What would a motor do when connected to that type of current/amps?
I'm thinking it's going to crash and burn, literally.
Has anyone tried this? What results would be expected?
Thanks

Expect a Lonex motor to get hot and burn the brushes quickly. Considering your gun doesn't feed properly at 30 RPS it may jam and strip your piston. Running a DSG on 14.8V is not uncommon, and I've heard of a guy running a 18.5 in a high power + high speed gun, so 22.2 would probably work if you do things correctly.
Maybe you should learn the basics of electronics before you attempt this. To get 22.2 V out of two 11.1 V packs you have to wire them in series. This will not increase current (amperage). I remember learning this in grade 6.
