When i first got my gun i was stricken about how nicely they packaged it. It comes with the gun on top and when you take the layer of foam off you find the barrel, tool kit, and a BARREL PLUG?. I thought to myself what in the world was INvert thinking by including a barrel plug? They are not allowed. anyways when i aired it up and i put my empire b on i was surprised by the speed. Some idiots like to think their gun is better than the rest so they try and convince you that it can shoot better than the Ego8 or DM8. NO! they are completely wrong. Price difference is there for a reason. The closest competitor i think is the PMR. The Mini doesn't blow it out of the water but it does beat it. With the right settings you can get insanely good efficiency. When you first play with it it will be weird because it will be so light. I took out my CF FIbur barrel and OMG it was light it took me a couple of games to get used to it. ONe of my favoirite things is that there is no mac hose, which is pretty cool i think. I gave it a 4 out of 5 for the appearence beacuase it doesnt look that cool. It's as simple as that. SOOOO in the long run it is a great gun and is one of my favs so far.

PEACE

I love my mini... only down fall to the gun is the lack of upgrades and choices... It would be cool if they had different grip and defiantly an on / off would be amazing.

It's never broke and I have used it for countless times. I would recommend it to anyone looking to get in or who wants a trusting gun.

Pros: Small, Fast, Stock Barrel is Accurate, Light
Cons: No On/Off, Gas Hog, Air Through Grip
I picked up the Mini for something different. First impressions, I really liked it. It was a very light marker, very fast out of the box, and the stock barrel was surprisingly good. The trigger guard is huge. Great for big hands.

After I had it for around a month, I started to notice it's clear down sides. One of which, it's a major gas hog. Not a whole lot you can do to change that, considering the regulator is inside the grip frame (non-upgradeable at the time being). I also didn't like the fact that I couldn't put an on/off on the marker. Makes it a bit of a pain sometimes to get the tank off the marker (unless you completely run the tank out of air). Another downside that I didn't like, was the lack of being able to put a drop forward on it. I like the small size of the Mini, but with a large tank sticking out the backside, it kind of ruined the reason to have a marker that small (the Mini sat in my gear bag for a little over 7 months before I got rid of it for that reason).

Overall it's a good marker, if you like to keep it just the way it is. Not a whole lot of customizing can be done to this marker, excluding cosmetic upgrades, a new board, barrel, and grips (for the time being).

Cons: Sometimes too small for people
This is a great all around marker. Exceeds my expectations for it. Unlike the PMR, which is its main competitor, it comes stock with all metal parts (imagine!!
). Its an incredibly fast marker, the trigger feels solid, and the board is easy to manage. It's quite the revolution in marker's because the reg is in the grip and the board is in the foregrip. When I first heard of the idea I thought they were crazy. But when I got my MINI, boy was I proven WRONG!!!

The invert mini is highly cablable of keeping up with some of the more higher end guns out there. It's small profile and smooth shooting make it a must have gun. I recommend this over the PMR any day. It feels very solid, despite its small frame figure. It's weighted very nicely with a great balance point. And its extremely light.

The only downside to this gun is some people don't like its smallness, which is not a problem for many, but really bugs some. I absolutely love this marker

9.5/10
