1. I've heard its been tested to be very reliable. Going thousands of shots without needing relubing, so with what I hear I say its reliable.
2. Its worth the money if you think so. Personally I'd take the Fusion over it because its $50 cheaper, and one isn't necessarily better than the other.
3. Actionvillage.
dont know
dont know
buy it from a local shop, if they go out of business we are all screwed. Anways gun prices are usualy shockingly close to online such as action village and alot of the time exactly the same price.

It's hard to answer this with 100% certainty as it's a marker that's just been released. Based on early observations and what the manufacturer is saying, it should be a reliable marker.
2. is it worth the $$$
Only you can decide that. I would say that you're getting a lot of value fo the money.
3. cheapist place where i can get one new
Action Village maybe. Froogle. eBay?

Fusion is very reliable. It weighs 2.5 pounds with barrel and ASA, and there are going to be more upgrades soon for it.

well i have a mini, and it is very reliable. however it does need frequent lubing. its deffinately the best gun in the price range, +or - $150. the gun feels so akward at first when you feel the size. but after a day of holding, try to pick up a regular gun. its hard to do.

Thats not necessarily true, a $550 gun for instance an Interceptor would be better than the Mini. But its really personaly preference.

no it wouldnt. the qaulity of the gun is that of a $800+ gun
i have shot every gun there is to shoot, and i liked this gun just as much as any of them.
but i already traded my mini, i had to take advanatage of the resale on it. but i plan on picking one up in a couple months

Thats an opinion, and I respect it. But a strong opinion doesn't make it a fact. I know that it can compete with higher priced guns, but its not considered on par with a DM7.

i was not aware that the dm7 was $550
but my main point is, go for it and you wont regret it

Its not, I was exaggerating to make a statement. Besides you said it had quality of an $800+ gun, and the DM7 is far more than $800.
