Review:
I ordered my mini from Action Village in November, I got lucky and recieved it in late December.
Pros:
Light, This marker is, I Think, the lightest marker available right now, weighing in at 1.9 lbs.
Fast, 20Bps stock, with semi (which can be capped at any number from 4 to 20), NXL, NPPL, PSP and Millenium Modes.
No Macro, The Air source goes directly from the ASA through the grip.
Very Few Wires, There are only, I think, two wires that connect the Eyes to the board, this makes for easy troubleshooting and assembly/unassembly.
Cons:
On/Off ASA Not Available As Of Yet, There are rumors of a design in the process by several companies for a drop or On/off ASA.
Board Problems (Some), I did not experience these board problems, but some people did with the earliest models of the mini, which were quickly fixed by the company
Conclusion:
This is a great gun, very great if you play front and need to be light and effective. I play snake alot and know why low proflie is needed, this gun delivers. I give this gun a nine because, nothing is perfect.
quote:Originally posted by SNOWMAN_PB The proto rail is the lightest marker out right now
and thats a lie. since PMR actually weighs i do believe 2.1 lbs. Most companies dont include battery, or ASA,barrel,reg so forth. Invert includes the weight of everything on the gun that comes stock with it, and its lighter.
You know I really don't want to be rude but there are two sets of wires in the mini the set connecting the battery to the board AND the wires connecting the solinoid to the circut board and the mini is a tad lighter than a pmr and is also lighter that an A1 and a XSV Ego I tested them all side by side on a scale so the mini is the lightest marker out.
All things said, it boils down to whether you like it or not. I have spoken to people who have the mini and love it, and some who have problems and obviously can't think if a good thing to say.
The technology is cutting edge, that is a fact. I think a lot of manufacturers are going to look at it and try to come out with their own version...
