Any of the lighter bodied blowbacks are pretty light for the price. If you don't mind spending a bit more and going electro then something like an Invert Mini is REALLY small and light. A great compromise for small and light that is about 1/2 the price of the Mini is an ICD Promaster. Just got one and it's a lot lighter and smaller than it looks in the pics.

These are all electro options though. If you're after mechanical then any of the blowbacks that use a plastic trigger frame and the figure 8 extrustion for the bodies is pretty darn light.

If it helps I REALLY like my lowly Piranha R6 that now uses a 12 inch CP or Lapco barrel depending on my mood of the moment. It's been upgraded with a delrin bolt and flush cocking back pin so it doesn't whack ya in the face shield like it would otherwise.

If you're buying new then I can recomend any of the '08 Spyder mechs that use the quick strip pin on the bolt. Nice and light and fairly compact. And being top cocking you can set up the bottle so that the back of the body is just barely in front of her mask.

To save some more weight I can recommend an Archon gravity hopper. On blowbacks that shake like they typically do it feeds paint just lovely. No electrical agitation required. And they are darn light compared to even the lightest electro hopper.
