I have revently been told, in reply to my excited - "I think ima get an invert mini...i love the look, and they're relatively cheap now!!" - that they are sh*t by a friend...they don't hold up too well in the cold aparently? I havn't seen this happen for myself as I've been out of the game for a year and 9 months...BUT i love the look of the little beasts and simply wanted to know the CORRECT story on them.

Cheers,

Tom. :D

Like any gun, the more you know about it, and the less you fiddle once you got it set up just right, the better it will be for you. Yes Ive seen some poor performing mini's, and when I pull the bolt out and its covered in some sort of mouldy fuzz, I know the problem is the user.

However, if you do get one, I will help you out with anything and everything for it. Just shoot me a PM. If I dont know, I can find out :)

Videos in my youtube show my team MK Storm all shooting minis. Our gun tech (works at KEE) has just about taught us everything about them, and we all have them set up sweet. Its pretty easy.

There are plenty of other great guns out there though. Pretty much all new guns shoot paint at whatever speed you want if they are set up good.

As with many brands of gun there are sometimes 'Bad eggs' that are problematic and this combined with the dodgy first gen minis lead to the thinking that minis are bad... when they are not.

I've seen all guns go down when it is cold enough. I've used my Mini in all weathers and bought it on Bolters recommendation for a laugh and I still think it is one of the best shooting markers out there.

I have owned 2 minis, both had problems, but a quick look at a guide that bolter had posted fixed the issues. They are great little shooters and will offer great performance when set up correctly.

First few batches when they where first released were dodgy, they're awesome 'lil things now.

Yes, it will stop working if you dip it in liquid nitrogen, but then again, everything else will...

I have one of the earlier ones that i got new in 2007 and its never missed yet whatever the weather.

Don't mess about with it shoot it and clean it and you wont have a problem.
