I'm a relative newb here, and by 'here' I mean to airsoft in general, so bare with me please.
I've been doing a lot of reading, and now have some questions.
I got the VFC 416, and had the Hurricane 417 stock put on it. I was looking for batteries, and found this

My question is regarding the connector type. I read the connector sticky, and it was helpful, but I'm hoping for specific information regarding this specific battery.
It says the battery has the Mini Tamiya (Marui) connector, but when purchasing I need to select the Tamiya female connector. I guess this is because the connector used with the Hurricane stock is different than the default one that comes with the gun.
Whether the company changes the connector for me, I don't know. If not, then what would I need to change the connector?
Also, what is the male equivalent of the Tamiya female for connecting to a charger? I need to know this because that particular site also requests that I select a connector type for the charger as well if the default one does not fit the battery.
While I'm here, what is a good recommendation for a charger to use with that battery, and will a battery like that need discharging?
Lastly, I read around about getting a full HK trademarked gun, and was given the impression that it was hit or miss when going through customs, and reimbursement for the lost gun was probably unlikely based on wherever I ordered it.
I've been browsing around for HK marked parts to replace stuff over time, but I'm uncertain of whether they come with HK marks or not. Why? Well, because every VFC gun I've seen on online shops so far has had full HK marks, but mine was shipped with VFC, so I don't know if I can trust pictures.
I guess I can just contact the companies, but what are some customer experiences?
Does anyone know of ways to upgrade to full HK marks? This isn't an important issue, just cosmetic so there is no urgency.
