Matching matches cell capacity which is really only important in series configured cells. A weak cell will have a lower capacity and end up getting dragged into deep discharge if the other cells in the pack have a higher capacity. Deeply discharging the weak cell will further reduce it's capacity so your entire pack fails when that cell dies.

It seems to me that cell matching is really more for the r/c car guys who regularly run their packs into the ground several times a day. Airsofters usually give up once their mechbox stops turning over and charge up again.

When your battery performance is observably lagging, stop shooting so you don't keep punishing that one weak cell and recharge.
