Impossible to know. That idea was formed back when we all used NimH batteries with Tamiya connectors. Now we use all sorts of batteries and connectors with less resistance. 
 
If your replica is badly shimmed, motor height incorrect or a heavier spring is used, it effects the amount of shots you get. Also using semi auto over auto actually uses more energy per shot. 

Also temperatures can effect power draw. 

So 1 Mah per shot is likely a very inaccurate baseline. 

I have been looking for one for a few years as well for a reasonable price. Good luck!

Personally I think Ghillies should be restricted to BASR users only. Not even DMR.
 
There have been more M4 HPA equipped Ghillie users at the last three sites I have gone to than BASR Users. 
 
 
 
 

so they tried to help, it didn't help, but "let's post it on facebook anyway just to show we are doing something"
 
lol how useless

Basically the average second hand price even in good condition is between 50%-60% of the lowest new price. Modifications and upgrades mean very little to the value. 
 
If it's highly personalised (an odd look) it goes for even less. 
 
Tokyo Marui stuff stays around 60/70% of the new price. 

You really have a massive beef with UKAPU for some reason. You get the legal help for free with the Bronze Membership. The other things when dealing with the home office etc have helped Airsofter's even if you aren't a member. 
 
The only difference between a paid member and a non paid member is a patch or two. 
 
I gave a list of things they have done to preserve and defend Airsoft yet you completely ignore them and keep banging on with your rhetoric. Even if you don't think it doesn't amount to "defending" Airsoft, there is a fund within UKAPU to do just that if legal issues arise (As with VCRA 2016)
 
Your argument is without merit as you can't even acknowledge the things they have done which is plain to see. 
 
 

I think one of the biggest issues is that very few sites wants to beholden themselves to someone else calling the shots regarding a set of defined rules on how sites should be run. The idea of self-policing is rife in Airsoft. If the Airsoft community cannot present itself as a unified entity following a basic set of principles to present to the Government, then we will never get recognised as a legitimate activity/sport and be tied down this grey area where we could be considered illegal with the stroke of a pen. 

The definition of Preservation is to stop is from decaying or something being eroded. There are instances where BF for example have tried to confiscate RIF's even with a valid Defense. UKAPU has managed to prevent that from happening. It happened to one other lad, whilst they weren't able to get the RIF's back, he did get a full refund. 
 
Keeping up to date on the relevant legislation but also how government bodies apply that is not exactly easy. UKAPU have recently discovered that BF have started testing RIFs for joule rating and have seized goods to that effect where they didn't before. 
 
Also discovered is that the new Firearms Act 2023 bill that is in progress could affect the way we use Primers and blank rounds. This is being monitored. 

UKAPU monitor press articles that mention airsoft and contacted editors and to acquire redactions. (One example being the Plymouth shooting back in 2021)

UKAPU contacts the home office when in need for clarification of the VCRA.

The HO took UKAPU's, Tim from ATB and UKARA concerns into account and put an exemption into an amendment through to the House of Lords back in 2016.
 

 
UKAPU have attended meetings with the EAF to foster an shared rules and values between other European Airsofting countries. This could set the groundwork for legitimisation of Airsoft. 
 
During the pandemic UKAPU were in contact with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport in regards to whether Airsoft could be considered for reopening during lockdowns whereas paintball was able to.

I am sure there are many other things that I am not aware about that UKAPU have done. 

I would also say at the moment there are no threats to Airsoft as a whole. However this could change with one politicised incident. But if you have an organisation that is on the look out for those threats and ready to jump in, that would be far better than something that is formed ad-hoc. Having UKAPU ready to defend Airsoft at a moments notice (With the funds to back it up), is better than a ragtag group of Airsofter's with no funds only being able to respond reactively. 

I would suggest the UKAPU is the best and most experienced group to defend Airsoft from a legal position. 

Out of interest, what is this monthly fee you speak of?
 
Bronze membership is free, silver and gold has a small yearly fee.

Border Force confiscated a Real Sword T97B from Greece and marked it for destruction despite having a UKARA number on the package. It was one of the first instances of that happening (With a valid UKARA on the package). David at UKAPU advised me on what to do in terms of chasing up, the wording I should and (Crucially) should not use in my communications. I managed to eventually get my T97B. If I didn't follow the advice given it would either have taken me longer or the T97B could have been destroyed. 
 
More detail on what happened here. 
 
 

There is an argument to be had that proactively trying to protect airsoft by getting it fully recognised as a sport/hobby (A-la paintball) Can also lead to the downfall of Airsoft (Peeking up above the legal parapet). Many Airsofter's prefer to just deal with legal issues as and when they arise so UKAPU has more often than not been reactive rather than proactive. When a problem has presented itself that UKAPU can solve, they have worked to deal with it.
 
Also I would like you to correct the "Monthly fee" as it is categorically false.

Depends what you mean by case (Court, Importation, Police). Legal representation in court has not been provided (Haven't been asked/not been needed). However UKAPU has helped guide people through first steps through importation/travel/police issues. Including when to go to a lawyer and to provide direction for the lawyer.
 
In fact UKAPU have a form you can fill out.

Mines a TM. 

Also there is a design flaw with the AEG Famas with the hop unit. It has a characteristic with bb's heavier then .25/.28 (Dependent on individual example) Where the BB will not travel in a straight line, but rather has a "Lobbing" characteristic. There is no known fix for this. The hop design was literally the first mass produced popular hop unit equipped Airsoft Rifle, so it does have intricacies! 

Or you can just stop your worrying and buy a Prometheus for Fa-mas nozzle at Fire Support. Mine has one and works like a... nozzle!

It's well worth fixing the LCT RPD considering how much they cost new. Even if you get a professional to do it. Otherwise it will be boneyard price vs premium rare second hand price. 
 
E&L Aims in abused condition, Maybe £140? Need pics. Also depends if its the short barrel no stock version, the short barrel stock version or the long barrel stock version. 

The reason why the Dyes might be better than the Bolle is the Dual Pane lens. Which goes some way to negate fog. Truth is if you are a sweaty bastard naturally there is very little you can do unless you keep moving, use anti fog or get some decent fan based goggles that are powerful enough.
