Empire has incorporated a unique, patented valve and flow technology design into this high performance tournament-grade marker. The single tube poppet system is innovative, and delivers incredible velocity, consistency and accuracy. The Mini is small, but ergonomically designed to fit right and exceed your expectations.

The Invert Mini is a great gun after I messed with the settings for a while. It would go through tournaments without chopping once but at random times it would chop like crazy. I first thought it was the bolt so i bought an orange bolt.
NEVER BUY AN ORANGE BOLT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The orange bolt was the worst buy of my life. The gun would chop more and stop working. After that i put the stock bolt back in and changed the eye setting to delay the shots a little bit and it was perfect!
Everything else about it is perfect. Shoots great, light weight, really really good price. All in all the Invert Mini is a great buy.

This gun is perfect right out of the box, my boss is good friends with the designer of the gun and he was talking about how it's designed to not need anything to make it compete with other high end guns.
Great stock barrel, great board, very simple and easy to do maintenance on.
I got a stiffi switch kit and a tadao board and this thing is amazing. extremely consistent on the chrono. I don't even notice a kick, very accurate with my stiffi. It's extremely light as well, and THE quiestest gun I've seen at our field (with my stiffi on) It's also very small but not so small it's awkward or uncomfortable. It eliminated many normal problem areas( like putting the reg in the handle so no more leaking macro lines)
With the tadao board I have a million different mode combinations (so many I will never need but just cool to have!) This gun rips hardcore.
Some people complain about the looks but I like the gun, it's nice and simple, not too stupid futuristic looking but also doesn't look so real like a BT or something. A nice anno would really make this gun look amazing.
Kee has great service, my button got stuck on the tadao board with the body, it just needed a little fixing but Kee replaced the whole body (it had a little scratch on it) and they replaced the trigger to match the gun. (silver)
Overall This gun is amazing for such a low price tag, add a barrel, board, bolt and maybe trigger and it'll be untouchable, This can easily run with those high end guns (DM's, PMs, egos) but if you're stuck on having an insanely expensive gun do yourself a favor and get a mini for a backup-it won't ever let you down!

ive had the mini for about 6 months and it has worked great. I did have one problem though. I went out yesterday to play and it was leaking down the barrel and chopping like crazy. I took it home and replaced the poppit and it doesnt leak anymore. As for the chopping i am pretty sure it was because of the hopper. But other than that it has been a great gun and a very reliable gun. I love it and will have it for a while to come. My advice is to get this gun. If you take care of it it will def. take care of you.

The invert mini is a great marker for it’s price. There are allot of good upgrades for the tec geeks, and the price is just right to make it a perfect marker for first time buyers. The mini has high end performance at an entry level price.
The only issues that I had with the mini was the lack of an On/Off ASA. It made it a little harder to screw in and unscrew my HP air tank. This can be solved with the NDZ thread saver, but may change the feel for the user by putting the tank further back. Also smaller “peanut” tanks fit really tight to the grip frame making it a little uncomfortable.
The stock board is nice right out of the box. You don’t have to have a computer programming degree to be able to operate it. Adjustments in dwell, rate of fire, and firing modes is easy to learn (read your manual before attempting anything). The stock barrel performs well, but I’d recommend an upgrade to a variable bore sizing kit. The stock trigger is crisp with it magnetic return, and there are a bevy of aftermarket triggers that can be bought. The stock feed neck is perfect (I regret replacing it).
All in all I give the mini a 9out of 10. price, performance, and versatility make the mini a very good value.

no macro line,very light,very small,great out of box

Wel i have used my Invert a few times and it is very very fast shooting, considering i only use semi. i have never chopped a ball with it and have shot about three cases out of it.I bet the main reason you are looking at this is because you cant decide between Dangerous Power G3, PMR, or Invert Mini.Well i have shot al of them and the mini is the smoothest shooting. If you do get a Mini you really dont need to get any upgrades,except maybe a new barrel. CONCLUSION invert mini is the best spent 300 dollars i have ever done.

I must say this gun is a great gun for beginners or for pros. It is reliable not to mention very light, easy to understand the funtions. With this gun it is well known becuase it does not use microline, therefore, it feeds the ar through a tube in the grip frame.
The foregrip on the gun holds the battery and the board that runs the gun. some of the featrures that this ugn has are: semi automatic, full auto, PSP ramping, and some others.
Another good thing about this gun is thaat it is weighing in at about 2 pounds which is light for a paintball marker. this is good becuase it is easier to move around on the speedball field or even the woodsball field for that matter. This means you dont have to worry about running around with 100000 pound spyders. sorry i was exajerating for a second.
Now if you are looking to upgrade your invert mini, think about what you really need. The main thing i think you would need as many people asks me is a new barrel since the stock barrel is a tad blah. A good barrel to choose from to replace your stock barrel is a u'l(ultralight) barrel, or a stiffi barrel. With one of these things they do cost some money but it is worth it. Now if you are thinking about buying a board think do i really need a board? many people think yea i need a upgrade board but they really dont. the stock board pretty much gives you all the settings you need. but if you really think you have to get a new board then so be it but you will save a lot of money sticking with the stock board.
thank-you for reding my review on the invert mini and please rate me if possible.
P.S DO NOT run co2 on this marker. just like every other electronic marker it uses HPA

Please ignore the price above, I received a NIB Mini in a trade in May '07.
Size
Personally I feel it's about as small as a gun can get before it becomes awkward to use.
Performance
I mainly play for recreation, and for that the Mini couldn't be better. It's small, has little kick and is easily capable of 15+ bps.
Reliability
It has never given be a lick of trouble and requires almost no maintenance. I just lube up the bolt and guide after a use and it's good to go next day or next month.
Cons
The only things that I don't like are that stock it doesn't come with an on/off asa, and it's a little on the loud side. Both very minor issues.
I think the Mini is a great gun for any style of play and should definitely be on the top of any budget minded paintballers wish list.

I've had my Mini for about 2 months now, and it is a great gun. I have small hands and this gun is tiny, so it is a great fit.
The gun is very accurate, even with the stock barrel, which is actually very light. The clamping feedneck works great, it has good detents and eyes, but at first it is a little tricky to figure out the mode changing, but look on Youtube
All in all, I definitely recommend this gun, you can find it for about $320, but I got a good deal at my local store, so look around.

your first impressions when u look at the gun, are different from your opinions after using the gun. i heard it was a decent gun, but i didn't expect it 2 be as good as it was. This gun can easily compete with some of the really highend guns out there. Mini>Shocker. Mini=Etek w/ cure bolt. The barrel is great 4 being the stock barrel. The trigger is great. it's a little choppy at first. i just got my gun serviced and the guys at the shop hooked me up and adjusted the trigger. now it's so smooth it feels like an Ego7 trigger. the only negative thing i have 2 say is that it is somewhat of an air hog. not a big one, but 200psi, is kinda high. pm me if there's anything else u need 2 kno.

Where the Ion set the bar for affordable and reliable mid-end markers the Mini takes it to the extreme, introducing a reliable and simple gun in an all aluminum body with all the bells and whistles of its higher end counterparts. Now with all of the available upgrades this is a great deal for those looking to get a little bit more firepower onto the field.
Comes out of the box with all of the things you'd normally spend money on to bring a gun at this price point up to code so its a nice alternative for those that want to pick up a gun and be done with it. Just aid paint and air!
