toruk do you suggest, sonce I do most somplier mods, that I use lithium batteries in an external tray?

Well, personally, for most people I recommend NiMH rather than lithium-anything.

Edit: If you mean to refer to 14500 cells in a AA box and you do not already own the cells, I would not go down that road. Those are grossly overloaded in an application like this, give suboptimal results and are not worth saving a few bucks up front. TBH I'm not sure why that is seen so much in nerf. Not exactly safe, either. Just bite the bullet, get some NiMH or lipo packs and go.

14500's AKA AA's. Link for referance.

does anyone know what size trustfire batteries I should buy to fit in a standard AA battery case?

Not wanting to Necro a thread or start a whole new one just to ask one question but has anyone used the Spyder 6+1 Harness to try and hold mags and other supplies?

If not does anybody know of any other harnesses of a similar style that would work for holding 12/18 round mags?

Don't quote me on this, but I think Gears does.

They might require modification.

k thx!

k thx! but on the note of ammo holding, how do you do that?

Barrel Break ammo holder, or pieces of 1/2 inch cpvc or pvc can both be used as dart holders.

Do your homework on LiPo...

Just saying. Safety first. This is the least forgiving battery you can possibly use. True, follow some simple rules and nothing is going to get burned, but you need to be vigilant about lithium batteries in the same way you are vigilant about zombies.

RCgroups and other RC hobby forums have all the LiPo advice in the world. Learn from those past mistakes.

Your right, you do have to be very careful. I do read RCgroups and am very careful when using and charging Lipos. However, I have never had a failure among the several dozen I own for RC planes (I have to use lipos because they weigh very little). The key have to charge and balance them with the proper charger. A safer option would be 7.2 volt sub-C packs, which you need 2 to 3 of in a vulcan.

So I've heard a lot about attaching blowguns to guns. Can anyone tell me how practical thos is, and the best way to go about it?

It is a very useful and cheap integration. 2-3 feet of SCH 40 PVC and some tagger darts, duct taped to the tac rail of something is quite practical and fun.
