I'm not sure how to react to this situation, since I've had everything possible bad happen to me so far with Airsoft (first gun took 6 days instead of 2 to come [that's not that bad], once it came it didn't work, so I sent it back and they took 2 weeks to ship me another one, and they ran out of MP5A5s, so they gave me an MP5SD6 and it took 4 days to ship instead of 2 [again not that bad]). Now, more bad things have happened to poor ol' Newman (is that Viking snickering in the background... ). MY FRICKING GODD!@# MINI BATTERY JUST BROKE!!!! I was showing my friend the gun, we shot it, came back inside, was putting stuff away, my friend puts down the battery and black connector just comes right off! So I'm disgusted with Chinese battery makers for right now (ugh...who isn't disgusted with bad quality $30 batteries ). The only way I can make the skirmish on the 28th is if my dad can actually help me solder it back on (he doesn't like helping anyone but himself, he even said he didn't want to help me even though he could), OR[/i][/s][/u] someone could lend me a mini battery! I'm willing to pay for the rental, please please please someone help poor ol' 14 year-old Newman out!

Don’t worry Newman, if you don’t have your battery back together by the 28th just bring it with you, we will repair it on site, and if we cant we will get you one! Glad to hear your coming!
SO far the player list is:
Viking Newman Ballista Hadoken
Ed should be on there too, where the hells are you Ed haven’t seen a post from you in a few days.
Again remember this is not a walk on event, you must email me and let me know your coming to be able to participate. Armalite82@aol.com

EDIT-I deleted this message because it's different now, and all you need to know is that my dad can't solder it now because it turns out his soldering gun is too small (he decides to tell me now ). Anyway, my dad can probably take me to wherever you live by 12 (Arby's actually) on Sunday. Please e-mail me the exact address of your house, and where Arby's is so I can plan everything out. That being said, the only way I'm going to be able to play is if someone can solder my battery there, or I borrow one. There's not enough time for Airsoft Atlanta to send me a new battery, and anyway they're not even coming back from a business trip till tomorrow. So Newman is out of luck unless someone can solder my battery or lends me a (charged!) mini battery there Remember, e-mail me where it's being held!

If the guys from Atlanta are gone, why dont you try Infinity? they have good prices and couple probably get one to you fairly quickly.

Well doh, this can be a problem. I only have my mini battery which I'll be using for my SD6, and I doubt Viking would another mini. What to do, what to do. *me strokes beard* how about, perhaps going to some RC / Hobby shop or even a Battery store (they have to have those somewhere) and have them make you one? Or perhaps simply repair your old one since your dad for some ODD reason won't fix it himself. There has to be something you can do. It's probably too late to order one as it might not get here in time for the skirmish unless you pay some insane ammount for next day UPS shipping. Hope you'll find something Newman, sorry I can't help.

run up and hit people over the head with it. Or play with a springer and tell people you have a battery, then just get close and tell them to surrender. BTW if anyone falls for that you SHOULD be beaten with a club

Why won’t your dad let us fix it? Why won’t he fix it? Hmmm, anyway tell your dad that I will fix it, and if I screw it up I will give him my WORD that you will be returning home with my mini battery which is in perfect working condition... man weird parents, wont help their kid, no offence...

Maybe you could put that digital camera of yours to good use and take a pic of that battery so we can see the damage? I'm sure you have some rc/hobby stores around your area where you could either get a new battery or have your fixed by the store. (I'm guessing your dad doesn't trust us) Newman you need to play this weekend! *whip*

My dad's and now mom's reasoning is that I must e-mail Airsoft Atlanta to send me a new one, because it is their fault. He won't fix it because he doesn't want to, and won't let you guys do it because if it doesn't work after you put the wire back on, there goes a replacement from AA. I'll go look for places near my house that repair/sell batteries, that would work unless my dad won't let me (which will probably happen).

Arrgh...but no repair/new battery purchase would perhaps mean...no Newman at game this weekend.

Skife he never even tried soldering it. He's not going to either. That's what I've been saying.
