To give my input:

I had a 7.4v 20C 1600mah lipo in my M4 with a Magnum Motor/Hi Torque Gears/380fps spring, and I lasted two 4 hour games at TTAC3, and a 6 hour game at FlagRaiders before charging: Sure, the battery was low, but still above the over discharge limit. I do not run a disconnect circuit, but I suggest that you should, it's less of a safety hazard and more about protecting the battery.
