lol, AIDS, yeah, can't say I like that either. I run midcaps normally and can usually get at least a dozen bursts from each one. STAR mags when I practice really good trigger control I can get 3-5 bursts, or one if I have loads of mags to spare and cover/time to reload.

As for internals, yeah, its hell on everything inside the mechbox. Thats why I never bring fewer than 2 main guns to a game and usually have my bone stock TM MP5k as my "oh shit" gun. I have already stripped 3 pistons, 2 sets of gears (one was a SystemA all helical highspeed set), melted one selector plate with the heat from the current, and currently I think I blew the contacts in my trigger switch apart again from the current. I run dual 9.6V batteries to maximum the current that the wires inside the mechbox can support (that is the limiting factor once you get enough battery juice) and it seems that stock contacts are not designed for it. Most motors on the other hand can draw quite a bit more amperage than the wires can handle. So far the only thing that has blown in a game is my trigger switch, everything else has broken while testing on my work desk.

Ah, now you are mistaking role play with realism. Milsim is somewhere in between. If you want the same ROF as the real gun but with a pathetic (compared to real bullets) 400fps, then you are doing it for the role play aspect (I'm not talking D&D or anything here.) Milsim is all about getting into character, playing like real units fight, and acting out parts essentially. I play airsoft as a sport in and of itself which closely mimics real combat (at least more so than many other sports) but don't worry about things like all real gear, real rate of fire, copying special forces loadouts exactly even if some of the gear is useless in airsoft, etc.
