Wire resistance really only matters for long runs of wire, and the resistance is given in specs as an ohm or two per 1000ft. Hardly worth even considering wire resistance when dealing with less then a foot of wire in an AEG. Yes, ok, you are correct to a point, if (grabbing examples) you ran a foot of wire that has a resistance of 3.6ohms per 1000ft, and attached it to a foot of wire that has a resistance of 2.8ohms per 1000ft, you'd have a lower resistance wire. But it'd really only be in the matter of say 0.008 ohms difference, which won't do anything noticable in your gun.

Now, if you ran a foot of higher gauge wire, and had even a half inch of thinner wire gauge in there, the net resistance of the overall wire would be the same as that small piece of smaller wire (and it'll act like a fuse does). That's why it's pointless to buy higher AWG wire for an AEG, run several inches of it through your gun, then into the #18AWG wire going through the mechbox to the motor. The #18AWG is still there, the gun will operate the same as if the entire gun was wired for #18AWG. You CAN'T run bigger wire through the mechbox of an AEG.

Interesting fact, AEGs use a type of wire that is of similar specs as aviation wiring. Mil-spec aerospace wire is Teflon insulated (wears better, is water and solvent proof), etc. Aerospace wire also has more strands than say the same gauge of "lamp wire" (which tends to be of loose twist and form), therefore has a higher amperage capacity, in a smaller size and weight.
