Paintball

[Kevin the Scot]

After very many years of laughing at players who didn't bring extra batteries for their guns and/or hoppers and taping battery compartments shut for kids, I finally broke down and bought an electric gun. I've been a die-hard pump and Tippmann semi player since '88, but I've got to tell you the first time I used my new Mini on the field, I fell in love with it.
It's incredibly easy to work! I paired it with a Halo hopper and J@J Ceramic barrel and it's so quiet that it makes a great sniper gun.
The only problem I had was that I had a bucket of paint (really cheap) from Sp Auth that the "eyes" in the gun didn't read. Once I turned them off, it was smooth sailing!

They really are great little guns. I recently bought one of these as well. Best gun in it's price range (and above) if you ask me.

Well the way I see it if you follow rules and such you can only really shoot 13-14BPS anyhow so I bought the mini and found out its the best of all worlds,Its alot Quieter than my friends PM7, ego, and shocker and they costs twice as much, its smaller and lighter than any other gun on the market so to speak. it is simple to understand and repair being able to tear it down and put it back together in 10 mins or less, it can reliably reach the BPS limit, It in its entirety is one of the best guns I have owned to date I have not yet had to spend hours fixing it, it just works,its very efficient, and at that speed chopped balls are not an issue, it is just a great all around gun and i couldnt think of a better gun to own it makes it even better that it wont cos't you an arm and a leg to figure that out.

Yeah, I bought an Olive Mini new and it has been the best investment in my paintball career. Not a problem nor a ball break in 10,000 rounds. Kickin it witht he Mini.

I can't figure out if i can run Co2 through my mini without doing anything. Would anybody know if i can???

[Uranus]

in short, no

[paintiac]

Thanks ,just wondering, because i've got a 98 custom that runs on
Co2 and i love it the only thing is in the winter it occastionally freezes, but it's not bad.

[Uranus]

a general rule is keep c02 away from electro's, there are a few exceptions.

Wow, that's the longest single sentence I think I've ever seen.

I'm not an electro lover but these have me intrigued. I might have to pick one up based on what everybody's saying.

I shot a mini for the first time last weekend....fast little marker...no wonder it's selling like hotcakes!
