mini or PM5?

[Magic_8ball]

quite a lot of reviews say that the mini has many technical problems, and breaks a lot, does anyone know if this is true?

It depends if you get one of the old ones, or one of the newer models.

If you have an older one (cant remember the serial numbers) then you may need to get a mod done to the poppet inside the gun. If you buy new though, you shouldnt need anything like that done, it should rip straight out the box.

Mine did

The first designs of the mini were full of teething problems, first the boards didnnt work correctly (was fixed quickly) and then problems with the poppet being drilled smaller than needed (Also fixed) if the serial number was over 1500 i think then it will have everything already fixed, failing that KEE will send you the correct parts and whatnot, After there broken in they run real sweet. Got rid of mine for ego 06 and i did prefer the mini.

is the weight distribution okay with a pulse and a 68/4500?

 

[Jakey C]

Yep it would be fine mate, i used a 68/4500 and a halo and there isnt too much difference and that was fine

as people have said MK Storm train at bricketwood.. if anyone is there and wants to try the mini for a few games give one of us a shout.


we are at the NSPL next week, so if we are free then you can try one in the chrono area, or the PA xball the week after.

or failing that campaign!


going to be busy!


i've never shot a PM7 but I do love my mini!

 

[echo34]

ok, thanks for the info. is it easy to maintain? does it have semi? how much breking in does it need?

 

[DANIEL]

really easy to maintain - easier than some guns I've had!

on PBnation it goes on about needing breaking in but mine was fine from the box.

it has all the firing modes you'll need. semi, millennium, psp. (there's a fourth, I'm not sure if it's NXL or Burst fire!)

I set my gun up and not really touched it since!

 

[Bolter]

To maintain, you undo one allen screw, pop the bolt out, clean the bolt stuff, lube a few o-rings, and put it back correctly. Then do the screw up, and that's it! Nothing else to it.

We have had over 10 of these guns, and they all ripped like anything you can buy, straight from the box. We have a few different set ups as well, so if you catch us at training, you can try a few different set ups, no probs.

Any questions at all, feel free to reply here or PM me or DANIEL and we will help you out.

The PM5 would be like a brick compared to the mini. Definitely hold and shoot both for a game or two though to see what suits you.

All of the new minis should be sound, KEE have great customer support over here though should anything go wrong. For the price of new/nearly new one at the moment it's definitely the way to go.

owned both and the pm5 with an ultralite frame definately feels nicer but much bigger and much heavier. both have excellent points about them and both have down sides. possibly if u already own a pm5 then post for a ul frame on here for it. cheaper then buying a mini and if u like the pm5 then no reason to change

the mini is a little beast tho.
