mini ASA?

[echo34]

is it easy to attach and remove an air bottle from a mini's ASA? how does it compare to removing one from an on/off? do mini's have a lot of kick?

With an on/off that purges the air it will be very easy to screw in and unscrew a bottle, but even though the mini doesn't have this they're still pretty smooth. I thought it would be a pain in the ass, but I've never had a problem or found it particularly difficult to screw in/unscrew my bottle.


Kick is minimal - best to test one for your self though to get a feel.

To answer that, not really a problem with air bottles, just screw them in/out, you might crack an o-ring once in a blue moon but they're easy to replace. The real problem with non on/off ASA's used to be with CO2, as it used to freeze and screw your o-rings most the time.

for that kinda money you're better off buying a new ASA, those things add an inch and a half to your setup. OOPS ftw!

You can't buy a new ASA for the mini though, that is ze problem. Some people like the extra length the SP on/off adds if they're a big person, due to the mini being so small and short to begin with.

I was suprised how easy the bottle came off considering the lack of on/off or purge system on it. Fairly nice and easy.
Kick on a mini is almost non existant from my experience obviously there is a tiny amount as with any gun.

i thought that a new longer version of of the ASA was coming out to allow for larger players, or at least some sort of adapter

People have been talking about it since the day of release but as far as I know nothing has come to fruition yet. Best checking the invert forums on the nation for latest info.

Edit: I wouldn't be surprised if a load of accessories for them came out at cup. Anyone know if there's plans for a new model to be released?

Should have remembered the mini doesnt use a regular ASA - doh!

As for adding length if they're big and the mini is too small - am I the only one thinking thats distinctly ironic? Nothing against bigger guys (and gals), more the fact that they've now made a gun so small some people are trying to make it bigger again? Amused me anyway.

Not necessarily bigger, just longer.
