What is the rating for the inline fuse for an airsoft gun? Mines blown and the markings are illegible. I'd like to get some spares, any ideas where from?

Best just to take the fuse out completely Shaun and re-connect the wires, it makes little difference anyway and won't have the chance to blow again if its gone. I've taken all the fuses from my guns and had no ill effects.

Traditionally 15amp for stock TMs, more if your using an upgrade motor or a box with a far greater load on it (high speed gears or higher rated spring).
If you can condition yourself to automatically stop trying to fire if your gun stops suddenly, then it's fine to remove the fuse. Otherwise the motor can be easily burnt out if your the kind of person who blasts the power on and off to see if it can be shocked back into working again.

15A or 20A... When I looked for one they were not available from Maplin, but a smaller electronics shop had some.

If need be I can post you one. I think I have one somewhere.

I found some in a car spares shop. 3 in a pack for pennies.
