    Why did AGD not come out with the Mini?

    I am kind of confused and maybe this has been discussed but since the Mini has a lot of mag technology in it why did they just not make it themselves? I mean when I took it apart I had flashbacks of when the old superbolt came out. If this has been discussed let me know and point me towards the thread. Even when I shoot the Mini it sounds just like my emag only about 6 pounds lighter.

    Tis a good point. It does in many ways encompass mag related ideas. I am guessing probably because manike had so much to do with it. From what I have seen though it really isn't a mag inside. It's poppet right? I do guess that the battery grip, HES and lack of forward reg are very mag like. Along with the fact that it has a single tube design.

        Mini

        battery in foregrip, HES trigger, and single tube design... thats as close as the Mini gets to being like the mag as far as I can tell - am I wrong?


        Not sure why everyone keeps saying it is so like the mag...

            Well the mini does shoot paintballs. It also uses compressed air to do so. Clearly it's just a ripoff of AGD's work. It also uses aluminum, anodized even!

                Any marker that is a single tube design it going to look similar to a mag.. How many different ways can you make a single tube look anyway Just look at when the 03 shocker came out.. everyone was like omg smart parts copied the mag!

                  Look at the latest Paintball Magazine ads by Invert.

                      Yeah, I'm sure it was well said, but I'll stick with Mags.

                        Don't forget it uses a spring on the bolt.

                        The more I look at the mini the more I realize how diffrent it realy is. Simalrity's yes. but the whole thing is very diffrent.

                          Unless I'm completely mis-informed the Mini is a blow forward spring returned marker. If you remove the solenoid and replace it with a sear actuated on off the overall design becomes a little more familiar, if you catch my drift.
                          Any one care to correct this?

                            familiar with a sear.... Spyder, tipmman, everyoen else with a sear besides a cocker....


                            give it up guys, there are similarities in EVERY paintball gun to another gun - its allready been noted the Mini is designed based off an older marker ( forget name, somone fill in this spot )that didnt really stand out in the crowd... its nothing to do with the mag.
