Tired of carrying your larger batteries in a PEQ replica
« on: February 22, 2006, 09:11:42 PM »
? Now there is another option which does not involve a battery bag or gaffa tape. STAR will be releasing a battery carrier with a difference, it is shaped similiar to a certain manufacturer's Vertical Foregrip Weapon Light. It stores a 9.6v 3300mAH battery which is included and weighs in at 920g.



Star M800

That's pretty cool. I like the lens cap and ARMSesque throw lever. I don't need one of these or anything, but it's still pretty cool.

Out of curiosity is the light operational or simply a storage container for the AEG battery? I use the PEQ setup on my CQB M4 and while I like the battery size I hate attaching the PEQ to the rail. Another solution is to go with a ready-mag in a railmag.

yeah is solves the battery problem. If you suck a 9.6 3300 dry in one day you got issues

Looks alright, and more options are always good.

But,
It would make your gun EXTREMELY front heavy, moreso than a PEQ2 because the cells are farther forward.

In addition, Airsoft throw levers blow!  I've played with King Arms and STAR levers (ARMS-type) and they were loose.  

If this thing is built like the real M900, and can accept the LaRue levers, that would be my pick.

My solution for front heavy ANPEQ2A battery packs?  Storage stocks.

Yeah I've seen this before, and It looks like a god-send for me.  I need a bigger battery for my G36C, and I'm not buying the ugly large foregrip, or the costly stock.  Does this mount to weaver rails? What does it cost? When will it be availiable? Any answers are apreciated.
