Any have a Mini yet?

[Paul La Rue]

I'm still figuring out what I want to sink my money into for a semi...
I'm wondering if anyone locally has picked up a Invert Mini yet?
If so...
Any problems with it?
How do you like it?
Compared to any other markers?

[hammerhead_19]

im pretty sure ehos has one. he had it at team nite and it is a sweet piece of machine.

[ehos]

Yup, got mine on Dec 27th from Splatter.

AWESOME gun. There isn't enough good things I can say about it. Plus, Paul, it looks alot like a Mag inside (but works differently).

Lightest, smallest gun out there. Cheap. Doesn't break paint. I can bring it to Pag next Thursday, or on pump night if you wanna try it out.

(I think its lighter than my Phantom?)

[Paul La Rue]

I would love to try it!
Can you bring it on the 24th?
I'd really appreciate it.

Couple of questions for now:
How efficient is it?
What kind of hopper are you running on it?

[ehos]

It's supposed to be very efficient, but I'm always keeping my tank full so I never really noticed. On PBNation people are getting 1000 shots on a 45/45.

I'm running a Velocity (I hate Halos). Evens out the marker perfectly with a 45/4500. I ran my Winchester and it was pretty amazing. Also, in the 10 or so times I used it, I've never been hit on the gun. (It's just soo tiny).

[Paul La Rue]

Thanks. I'd be running a 45/45 (off my Phantom) so that sounds awesome.

I'm looking forward to trying it out. Now to find a red one if I like it...

[NytBlade]

Looks like Mike couldn't dislodge the semi bug out of Paul's head.

[Paul La Rue]

I think he's knocked out any idea of competing... but I'm still up for the odd friendly game. One more reason I'm really looking at the mini, much cheaper than going for an Ego...

[ehos]

It's funny, on that boxing day sale, I was juust about to order the 07 Ego, and then Splatter posted the Mini. I am SO happy I went with the Mini. It's $1000 cheaper, no wait, and no problems.

The 07's had some issues (solenoid gaps). And I might have got lucky with my Mini, but it's worked perfectly. It's broken 2 balls in 12 cases (and it shoots arrow straight, but that could be my stainless barrel). The stock barrel sucks (throw it away), no upgrades needed.

[Benjamin_326]

scott said they suck! what a liar.

[Joel]

theyre really uncomfy. just throwin that in there.

[Paul La Rue]

What did you find uncomfy about them?
My only concern is not being able to swap out the bottom mount ASA... The marker is almost too small that the tank gets into the way of sighting down the barrel...

[scottmc]

i didnt like the one i shot, to small for me and i didnt like the great big forgrip

[Joel]

the frame and front grip are really close and the front grip is really wide. that may just be my take youd have to try it yourself

[BlueBomber]

the front grip is where all the internals are held XD

[Paul La Rue]

I actually really like the front grip and the larger frame. They fit my hands well, and I use to have a couple of E-mags so I'm use to the big grip. What I don't like is the ASA, puts the tank too close to the gun. I can't look down the barrel without the tank getting in the way... it might just be too small for me.

Right now, it's between the Mini and an eTek/Ego... just gotta figure out how to get my budget into the Eclipse range.

[Benjamin_326]

hows is the trigger?

[angie007ca]

Paul, ever look into the Dangerous Powers Fusion or Lasoya Promaster? Both really nice guns a way cheaper than even the etek. Darren got the Lasoya PM, and they retail for $220 US now! Even cheaper than the stock PM, and they are pretty nice. All you need is a feedneck and barrel. The grip is big so good for big hands too. If you are interested in looking at one I'm sure we can bring Darren's to Pump night.

I never talk anyone into or out of anything but if asked I will tell you what my experiences are with an event. I am not against tournament play I just want ppl to know what you can expect at the lower levels and how things are outside of the PAG bubble. PAG is a cut above but you can't expect that everywhere you go. I wouldn't mind playing a lil tournament local I mean I do (as of last night's delivery) have both a Karnivor and Racegun with a Hammerhead Kit just in case I need to satisfy my lust for popping off rounds. My biggest reason for personally not getting into tourny play is that I can't afford the paint. No one said that HG will not play in tournaments, just not this current March one

[Paul La Rue]

Thanks everyone, one a impulse I bought my new electro today... watch for me at a walk-on game soon.
