aha, might have solved this...

How are you testing for bounce? fire 5 shots in rapid succession (walk the trigger exactly 5 times) then let go - how many shots have fired? does the trigger "run-away" and keep firing? I read somewhere people are far too strict with themselves on trigger bounce. If a hard smack on the bottle doesnt activate it, chances are you're fine.

Are you checking for bounce WITH paint, or just dry firing?

Lots of guns I have had in the past (EGO,E-blade, Timmy, and X-mag) used to bounce without paint, but not when you put paint through it.

The x-mag used the hal sensor the same as the mini as well.

how's about sneezing on it? i'm sure that's in a rule book somewhere.....

have you tried lengthening both pre and post activation travel, and increasing both mechanical and electronic debounce values (assuming a mini has both?)
Me said:
Oh, and there are no debounce settings on the board
:)

Parksky: Currently doing it without paint, do notice it with paint though.

If i walk the trigger with the tips of my fingers, it very rarely bounces.
If i walk the trigger using the bottom thicker parts of my fingers, it gives a sort of burst shot bounce effect. I can replciate this about 1 in every 2 times with 5 shots in rapid sucession

you should have said something on monday night at training i would have sorted it for you mate.
Well I like to shoot you all with dirty cheating bounce :p
