Total cost is probably around 350, but it'll outperform Any $350 gun you can just buy.  It's effective range is around 200' and it'll do around 25 rps.  I run 11.1v 2200 mah batteries and 1 battery got me through an entire day yesterday firing around 3k rounds.\r\n\r\nThe most important things you can do for range and precision is going to be barrel and bucking/nub.  Durability upgrades would be shimming, AoE correction, and a metal tooth piston minimum.\r\n\r\nShimming itself is not that difficult and there are any number of YouTube guides.  You do have to open up the gearbox for it though.\r\n\r\nI'd say a 9.6 would get you through it.  The only real pros of a 7.4 Lipo is the size per MaH.  You can fit more electricoty into a smaller package.  But there's absolutely nothing wrong with running 9.6 NIMH batteries.  I moved the NIMH from my m4 to my SAW when I switvched the m4 to Lipo.\r\n\r\n[these batteries ](http://www.Tenergy.com/ 9.6V NiMH 1600mAh Butterfly Mini Battery Pack with Mini Tamiya Connector for airsoft guns ) with [this charger](http://www.Tenergy.com/ 6V-12V Universal Battery Pack Charger for NiMH NiCd RC Car Batteries https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003MXMJX8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_0c6AzbTXDKZMR)\r\n\r\nI'd recommend having two batteries minimum.

ZCI barrels are an excellent value.\r\n\r\nThe SHS motor will give you increased trigger response at the expense of possibly being a little more power hungry but I never had an issue when I ran 9.6 batteries.  That is the only con.  It's better in every way than the stock motor.
