The airsoft electronic gun AEG is really a fairly simple mechanical device with very little electronics to it. Using mechanical means, it can provide three selector modes: safe, semi-auto, and full-auto. But the most popular airsoft gun in the United States is the M4 (AR15 replica), which is used heavily in the U.S. military. The real M4 fires in three shot burst, a feature that is not easy to achieve in a mechanical airsoft gun with simple electronics.
That's where Burst Wizard King Kong Elite comes into the picture. The Burst Wizard King Kong Elite not only provides multi-burst features, but acts as a MOSFET, LiPO and LiFePO battery protection, and other features that only sophisticated electronics can provide to an AEG. Before we go into each of the features in detail, let's take a look at the Burst Wizard King Kong Elite.
Cross-Reference
We actually purchased the Burst Wizard King Kong Elite in order to provide semi-auto mode to an AEG that only has full-auto mode. See our Fixing Your AEG Broken Trigger Post article.
The Burst Wizard King Kong Elite came in a yellow packing envelope. Luckily, I live in the same city as its headquarter, so I received the product a day after I order it. Inside the yellow packing envelop, the content is stored inside a ziplock bag. The photo below shows the ziplock bag content; the Burst Wizard King Kong Elite, a wire for permanently installing the product in your AEG (optional), two shrink wrap tubes, and instruction sheet.
There are two ways to install the Burst Wizard King Kong Elite. One, it's a plug-and-play unit where you plug it into the AEG where you'd normally plug in your battery (see photo below), then you plug the battery into the Burst Wizard King Kong Elite. One nice feature of the plug-and-play method is that you can move the unit from one AEG to another quickly. The other way is similar to the first way, except you also permanently solder the Burst Wizard King Kong Elite to the trigger connector. In this second way, you can't move the Burst Wizard King Kong elite from one AEG to another. But it provides a few important features that is unavailable in the plug-and-play manner.
Burst Wizard King Kong Elite comes in two versions: 1) a DIN connector version; and 2) a mini-Tamiya version. As you can see we ordered the mini-Tamiya version. The photo below shows the Burst Wizard King Kong Elite plugged into the AEG and then a 8.4v NiMH battery plugged into the Burst Wizard King Kong Elite.
The instruction sheet says to plug the Burst Wizard King Kong Elite into the AEG first, and then plug the battery into the Burst Wizard King Kong Elite. It doesn't warn or say what would happen if you do it in reverse. My guess is that it doesn't hurt because the trigger contact is open anyway. But we haven't actually tried that.
