i bought a invert mini 3 weeks ago used for 170. i than started looking at the AXE so i sold the mini for 230 (hustler right? lol) and bought the AXE from my local shop. i got it home gassed it up and shot it at a target about 45 ft away, at first the grouping was very tight but after about 300 balls through they were ball on ball. the thing is extremely accurate i was hitting fence posts from 60+ ft away. its got a really quite sound to it. there isnt alot of kick either. all in all i would say it is a very nice gun, the only issue i have is it only comes in 3 colors and the stock barrels are kinda crappy for long range. but is better than anyother gun in its price range. it is deffinetly more than just "stretched" mini. its like a mini reincarnated.

Empire Axe

IF YOU HAVEN'T SHOT THE AXE, YOU NEED TO!

I am very impressed with the way this marker shoots! It is now balanced in way that makes it very easy to hold and shoot. Smooth Ropes with a bit of kick at higher rates of fire about 15 bps.

The Trigger is a million times better, but it could still be a bit improved.

The feedneck needs a thumb adjustable screw, yet it gets the job done.

The bolt out of the back is bad ***! Real simple maintenance.

OLED Board would be nice because I hate counting lights. Hey the stock NT still requires math skills as well.

You will need a better barrel. I recommend a Disruptive barrel or PE.

On/Off is convenient and not difficult to use.

Efficiency - 10 + pods on 68/45

Consistency isn't its strong point +/- 7 on chrono with evil paint.

Overall

I am extremely happy with my Axe! With a new barrel, the only must have, I could easily be happy with this marker being my only paintball marker! I ended up shooting this marker at HB after Luxe battery died and NT went out. It performed nicely.

EDIT: Played with it in PSP mode. SHOOTS BEASTLY. MORE AND MORE IMPRESSED!

Consistent/Low Pressure - I use my ninja LP reg, very consistent fps/accuracy.
Light - It's pretty light and small - but larger than a mini.

The Air adapter (where you screw on your tank) seems to get loose quite a bit during practice, etc. It's not fun to tighten back up either.

Im a newer player that hangs with guys that have played for years and have nice equipment. I was using a rental set up just to play. One of the guys at the field i play has a brand new axe so i demo'ed it for a few minutes and i was sold!

Just picked up my first marker and that being an Axe so now we have two at our feilds and the rest of the crew sit's in envy. Today was my first ligitimate battle day with it and i had 5 kills in one game just sitting back,snapping and dropping balls where they needed to go.

I did use a two peice barrel on it today and it is very stealthy now and deadly accurate!

I really do not have a complaint at all except i had to retighten a couple screws which took two minutes! Using the prophecy hopper with it and it's a great match up!

I did buy the green and brown and have no problem with the color for woodsball purposes
