Board Thread:General Nerf discussion/@comment-27035444-20160502182943

I went to a friend's house yesterday, and saw his old stampede. He hadn't fired the thing in years, and said he had done some voltage mods.

Intrigued, I opened up the battery hatch and found that all 6 D batteries were those special Li-Ion batteries, with no dummies. (didn't even know they made them that size)

I am just curious, how the heck did that thing not burst into flames!?

We once had neighborhood-wide nerf wars, and he constantly used that Stampede!! Is the Stampede some exception to the general rule of thumb to use dummy batteries?
