I posted in the other thread, but I will give you the Fusion owner reasons. The stock barrel is awesome, I can't say that its better than the stock Mini barrel, but I know for sure that I won't be replacin the stock Fusion barrel. The stock regulator is also awesome, it can easily compared to the performance of CP regs, short break-in time, great consistancy, another thing I won't be replacing. The Fusion also comes stock with an on/off ASA, theres no reason to replace that. The Mini has to have special regulators and ASA's, the Fusion is just like every other high-end gun in the ASA and regulator thing. The Fusion also uses a method of operation (FASOR) that is simpler in design, more commonly used, and easier to understand. I believe there has only been 1 or 2 guns before the Mini that use the PCP method, so thats self explanatory right there. Another thing is that the Fusion can compare to Timmys and Egos in efficiency and kick, while the Mini can't compare to much really. Its sort of like the Yankees, you either hate it (the feel) or love it.

Dangerous powers costumer service is amazing. I called them because my gun came with plastic detents. They shipped me a pair of ball bearing detents free. Besides that, the gun is amazing. It has a great board which i do not plan on upgrading. It has a great regulator which i also don't plan on upgrading. The barrel bore size is a little large, but it is still very nice for a stock barrel. The feedneck is a nice low rise clamping neck. The on/off asa is also very nice. It has great efficiency. The gun itself is just a very well built gun. If you buy it, you won't be dissapointed

[Legionaire10]

thats what ive been told

[theJesus1]

the competing marker's in the price range have their perk's, but they also have their downsides ( the rail feeling cheap to some, the mini feeling too small for some). The fusion to me is an incredibly solid choice, i cannot stress this enough. if you really like the feel of the rail or mini, they are also great choices, but the fusion will NOT dissapoint. Performance, reliability, extreme simplicity, pleny of nice feature's for what your paying, and aesthetics. If possible, try and get your hand's on both guns and play around with them a bit. You may fall in love with the mini, but you'll definetely fall in love with the fusion.

Actually the board isn't that great, its just got 3 firing modes with 2 speeds. No setting adjustibility, dwell, etc. Its still good though, you don't need the other stuff.

[Meeshka]

It's more than enough IMO. I think semi is the only thing that "real" players should unless of cause it's some sort of serious tournament where its do or die.

Thats true, I've never used another mode but semi in a game before. The dwell and eye delay and other settings really aren't necessary, but some people may get anal about it, but with aftermarket parts (valves, LPRs) they may seem necessary, even though there aren't any aftermarket parts like that available to my knowledge.

[Legionaire10]

i think i'm going to go with a fusion, i want a hybrid but they are sold out on avi and avi is no longer selling the normal fusion's

[babustos]

Try another website, local proshop, or wait until Actionvillage gets some more.

[Legionaire10]

thx

[p-baller100]

you could get one on ebay they are like 350 wiht accents and stuff. i think its good to not have all that stuff on the board. dwell, eye delay, etc. to complicated and i dont have to deal with it. It comes stock ready to go so you dot really need that stuff. sometimes it would be nice to have it but i dont like messing around to find the perfect setup. It comes perfect.

Dude, all three are good, but the Fusion is the only one with a LPR. IMO, I'd like to be able to fine tune with it, where the others have just a HPR. If you are like me and believe the equation "simple=less things that can tear up" then the Fusion probably is the easiest to maintain, no o-ring on the bolt.

[kakayona]

ive shot all three guns.
cons
mini: loud, limited ups, detents, popits, gas hog, chops, ugly:(
rail: detents, wires, 375 o-rings, plastic, spool valve(GAS HOG):(
fusion: hhmmm....kick maybe, dwell maybe or lack of:eyes:
pros
mini: light, small, no macro
rail: light, quiet, fast, smooth, good reg
fusion: barrel, trigger, efficient, cs is #1, fast, smokin looks, cool people own them:love:

Actually thats pretty contradictory. The Fusion does have more moving parts than say the Rail, but is easier to maintain. The LPR is another thing that can go wrong and another thing to lube, bolt o-rings are easy as pie.
