    Well, I own one and have had maybe 3 days of play with mine. First day was nice no kick very small tight little package. shot flawlessly. Two days later attempted to play could not get to chrono then when was able to get the chrono upto spec i made soup of my halo. Sent it back to NPS got it back with a new board, bolt, and think they adjusted the regulator. My sister used it and it shot flawlessly, she liked it alot because of the small size and weight, she started the day off with my classic mag. Added a day's worth of play because I was going through all my tanks (4) of air (45/45, 68/45, 68/45, 88/45) and a case of paint once I had it back from NPS. It has worked like a charm since.

My only prob was the fact that you can't change the ASA and or the reg (yet). I haven't shot one, but they feel nice. I woulden't buy one though, I would buy a quest instead, those feel much better. (NPS companies)

        Im working on getting a quest in a trade right now and when did he hold one they dont even have them. Did some some one bring one it to get checked out? If they did they are retards because they will just mess around with it there.

          I held a mini and it felt super light. I was going to give it a biased opinion because I like bigger guns, but that is when I said to myself "Eddie! not all guns have to feel strong and manly, people nowadays are opting for the unisex marker." Therefor I give this marker two thumbs up! Because it taught me something very important in life. A gun should not just be made for testosterone filled freaks like me. It should be also made to be held by girlfriends, kids and grandmas.

          Buy this gun

            Do you like bigger guns because your trying to compensate for something?

                How does that make it shoot faster.lol

                FA22RaptorF22: Shut up. You know less than Don, and you're just as stupid as he is.

                Reminds me of you.

                I'm not even sure you fully understand HOW the automag works. I say that because if you're comparing the invert --which is different --TO said automag, and then telling us it's the same thing, then you've GOT to be an idiot.

                It uses a HES, JUST lika a Mag. Who has the patent on that anyway?

                  Yeah after what Raptor had posted previosuly and Lohman had shot him down it was kinda funny to see him post that. O sup Hypocrit!

                    Uh, I'm kind of at a loss here, Beemer... care to clarify?

                      What the hell?!!

                      Why are you bashing me...I haven't said anything in a page and havent even looked into this thread for a while. The last thing i said was a good comment on how i didn't really like that you could only use screw ins. When i talk you seem to hate me triangle and who the hell are you ricker?!?!



                      Ricker...back off. Triangle...take your own advise.

                      Edit: and Lohman didn't shoot me down....he just helped to clerify that opinions are kind of pointless without actually having one. And those of you saying i have no information...dont talk...because like lohman said...99% of you DO NOT own one of these guns.

                          Grr i said that post backwards and fast.

                          Mag = unbalanced, blow forward spool valve.

                          mini= pcp (pressure controlled poppet)

                          But as i was trying to say, they initally took the mag valve and made it electro-pneumatic.

                            Raptor... stop spewing misinformation. The Mini is way different from a mag. If anything it's much closer to a King Cobra (Taiwanese gun). It's not a mag nor did the designers have any intention of re-designing the mag, shut the hell up. That was one of the first things Simon said to us. "This is not a mag nor is it anything like a mag", is pretty much what he said.

                            And everyone uses screw ins now. Especially when they've made adjustable screw ins. No one uses drops anymore either, they're stupid and not ergonomic. So there is nothing wrong with the Mini's ASA. Seriously shut up Raptor.

                              Where did drops come from? And no they are not stupid. I just dont like the fact that an adjustable cannot be used. (and yes. adjustables ARE better).

                              And all information in the last post is correct.

                                Oh my God it's called an adjustable screw-in. And you were complaining about the ASA before. And no your last post was incorrect. The Mini is nothing like a mag. Simon knows much better than you.
