Third, high ROF and breaking the gearbox don't necessarily go hand in hand. It's usually high FPS that breaks gearboxes sooner than high ROF (although I will say that a gearbox only lasts for so many rounds, and high ROF reaches that number faster).

Last, there's enough posts just on this forum (not to mention world wide) about plenty of people cracking the front off a KWA V2 gearbox, just like the other V2 gearboxes made by other companies.

/end KWA fanboy bashing
1.2v x 7 = 8.4v
1.2v x 7 = 8.4v
8.4v + 8.4v = 16.8v
Hook'er up in series.
People round the voltage of batteries, cars are a good example, do you really think a car is 12v exact, not really, their 12.6v, each cell is 2.1v, do the math
2.1 x 6 = 12.6v

Heres the link to the people who did the 16v test, it was 8 high-caps actually

Agreed with the /end.
