I completely upgraded my mini to how I wanted it. Playing with it from stock to what it is now just showed me what an amazing little marker it really is. Quite affordable, used one can be had for around $175-$200. My mini now runs at 140psi, super smooth and quiet. I would recommend lurker's eigenbolt and nummech's foregrip extender if you have larger hands.

This is overall the best gun I have ever owned. I previously owned a PMR and this is WAY better. The Invert Mini is super easy to maintain, which would be taking out one screw, and out comes the bolt, bolt guide etc. The mini has easy fix's and KEE's customer support is GREAT, fast shipping if you have any problems what-so-ever, they will get you covered. The poppet design and other technologies is what makes the Mini great. The air through grip design means no macro lines or hoses inside the gun. the gun nas two pairs of wires which is amazing. The stock board is capped at 20 bps, but there is no real need to go any faster. This gun is worth the price (which is not even that much!!!)

GET THIS GUN!!!

Empire Mini Its is a very small marker, very light. I dont like the feel or the trigger at all though. Also i got one of the minis with the bad poppet, so i have to clean it after everytime i play.

Empire Mini I had my Mini for about 4 months before I sold it. A lot of things went wrong with it when I had it. The magnet on the trigger always fell off, the poppit was always messing up, etc. etc. etc.

It is an amazing gun. I`ve run about 3 cases of paint through it and it has never once chopped or had a barrel break. its lighter than 1.98 pounds and can be even lighter with a new bolt. I bought a freak barrel kit and with it my balls are hitting eachother on target every time.. its also very air efficent. I have played tournements with this gun and people are amazed how well it performs, this marker puts you up there with those egos and dm8`s.

Boy im a happy i did. I did a lot research before reaching the conclusion to select it over its competition. In my mind for what you get the mini blows the competition away. You'll be happy if you decide to pick one of these up

Pros- I love the fact that the board and wiring is in the fore grip: small, light, compact, real easy to move around and swith hands on the fly: the stock board isnt that bad either, i like that it comes with the psp ramp nxl full auto and mullinium modes stock, and finally the barrel, the mini barrel is probably the most accurate stock barrel on the market

Cons- The popet valve is really week, i had it for a month and blew it out twice, i dont know if it was just me, but it didnt sit with me well, i like the air threw grip, but you cant get a drop forward, and finnaly the ball detens are terible, they get chewed up more than a dogs bone

Cons: Some kick, no dropfoward
Unboxing:When you first get your mini (generation 2), you lift the top of the box and there is foam, lift that and there is the mini, life the mini and the foam around it and there is your barrel, maunal, tool box, and barrel plug.
Shooting: The mini shoots great. There is a little kick, but nothing to worry about. It is small light, and accurate with the stock barrel. I have never chopped a ball and i have shot through at least 5 cases so far. It is worth every penny.

when i did not have a gun at first my friend let me use his mini. there is nothing special about this gun. i will admitt empire did great with their first marker but i do not like the mini very mch. i respect it but i do no recommend it at all. the trigger for it is sensitve (good for xball) but isnt reliable, you cant change the grips which is dumb, and the small compact design makes it sometimes hard to use. for the price of 324$ you should get a g3 (which i love and have) or a threshold (which i have tried many times) the mni is not the gun for me but i guess some people like it.
