I'm sorry to have to let this on, but due to my recent "electrifying" experience with IMR batteries (14500 series with Lithium-Manganese composition), I find that flywheelers powered by regular alkaline batteries are increasingly boring...

I've tried Hail-Fire, Rayven, Stryfe and a few others with upgraded batteries, discovering that muzzle velocities are higher and flywheel spool-up is quicker as well.

More serious upgrades to Li-Po packs and heavier-gauge wiring are for down the road, and will cost considerably more, but every indication is that they are worthwhile. :-)
