I've just been in the hunt for a new gat and put up a 'wanted' thread accordingly. I was shocked at the amount of both Minis AND DM's that where offered to me:cool: I was offered more than ten different minis and slightly less DM's, why, I have no idea:confused: But I was only offered a small handfull of egos.

Maybe there is a underlying reason for peoples decisions to sell off there minis:confused:

mini vs Ego etc

I have gone from a site gun ,to tippy A5 then Dm5 to Ego 6 in less than a year..All I can say is the Ego has been the most reliable and fastest to date..
The only guy I have seen with an Invert Mini had probs with it all day and hardly got to use it...that's not so say they aint good gats but I must add that I was advised to go the Ego way a long time ago and I wish I had from the start!

one big reason!!
how many empire pro teams do you see running mini's????!!!!!

answer none!!!!
they dont use their own guns!! most run ego's of some description!!!

i do suggest you try an ego tho, as you may find its not the gun for you! even tho many love them!!

I own a Mini and have shot an Ego 05.

Couldn't get on with the Ego 05 at all, just didnt feel right.
Mini is a lovely gun for me though.

Try em both, and see which you like best.

Think this might have been me you saw :eek:

Mini's are amazing!!.... when they work!

I bought one and man was it sweet first tourny I used it. Shot sweet all day long. Put it away, took it out to use it next time and I personally blame the paint and also the experimental hopper, but long story short, it chopped more than it shot.

After lots of cleaning and fidling I have came to the conclusion that it is just very fussy, so for that reason has been relegated to spare in favour of a Ego 07 :cool:
