Just out of boredom with my current gun, and the need for money, I traded my yellow dragon for a white/silver invert mini + a phantom + $100

Pics:



Just to show how small it is:

I've got slightly larger than normal hands, but they aren't to terribly big, and I think that picture is a nice gauge on how small the gun is.

Playing with it yesterday, it shot average, was fast enough, and didn't chop. Just like nearly all guns you pay more than $250 for. What wierded me out is it's a blow forward.

It was raining and cold, and my reg spiked up to 335 without me knowing, so I can't give any "report" on accuracy.

In short: It's pretty much a small and working e-mag.

Nice, keep us posted as to how well it keeps up. With all the horror stories out there, and two bad experiences myself, it'd be nice to have some play-by-play as to the durability of your new acquisition.

Looks nice. Mini is definately a fitting name.

You got a Phantom and didn't post its picture?!!!

Curse your family name for the next millennium!

As for the Mini, I like it. I never realized that they were that small.

I have yet to shot one but they look like crazy fun! I was wondering since the buttons are on the grip do ya push them when holding it? Or are they set into it enuff so you dont mash them down and change stuff?

Keep us updated, I'd like to know more.

Oooh, nice!

I really want a Mini.

I thought about getting one, but am getting my ride painted instead.

Those are not the buttons. That is a rubber pad on the front of the battery pack. The button is on the backside of the battery pack, facing the trigger frame. The button is recessed into the pack.

Nice Mini btw.

BTW what is a Dragon?

What's the serial number on the Mini? The early ones had defects. I think after 400 or so they are ok.

I saw one in action for the first time last weekend, held it in my hands and it felt a lil cramped, but man was is light. I liked it.

Nice pick up!

Picks of the phantom or shens!

Little update:

Maintenance is ridiculously easy on this. Unscrew a gripframe screw and the bolt comes out. Unscrew the other and the frame come off with no wires or hoses to be disconnected.

Fore-grip comes off with the removal or two tiny screws

And the bolt is raher simple to clean and lube.

Overall I am pleased with the gun.
