Mini vs PMR vs Promaster vs fusion

Which one should I get? (the promaster will come with some better equipment (48/4500 DXS, Vlocity jr.) compared to the rest (68/4500 Eggy 3)

I'd go:

mini
fusion
pmr
promaster

But the differences in performance between them are fairly small.

Fusion
Mini
SLG
PMR
Promaster

I really think it comes down to what design you like best. I like how fast, air efficient and easy to clean the fusion is.

Mini or Fusion. Comes down to what you think about the mini's size. (to small, or not)

They are all practially the same price.


The Mini is probally the way to go. But the PMR and Fusion are also great guns, that are pretty cheap and reliable. But fusions are very reliable and very easy to mantain.

If you like quiet, smooth, accurate then get a PMR. if you liek fast, efficient, easy maintenence go mini/fusion.

I'm also looking for a new marker n i've came down to either the Fusion, Fusion F8, or the mini. F8 is a bit more expensive than the 07 Fusion. I'm researching to see if the differences r worth the extra 200 dollars. The mini has been getting both great n bad reviews. Most of them have been great. Bad reviews r prob fluks or operator error. It's too bad I don't have a store close by. I would love to feel these three guns to get a feel for them. All three seem to be exceptionally good. hard choice.

Is it a pretty noticable difference in accuracy between the PMR and the mini/fusion? Couldn't a better barrel fix that?

There are many theories on accuracy, but I believe that there are many many factors that make accuracy. your regs consistency on both your tank and gun, bolt design, bore size, temperature, weather, paint and barrel quality are all that effect accuracy in my opinion(people think that just bore size does, but I think that is a load of bull). Spool Valves are known to be very smooth shooting guns and to have the more accurate bolt design, which a PMR is.

Good gun but I had several leaks new out of the box, lotsa O-rings

3 - Fusion

4 - Promaster

kinda heavy but was good for it's time.

Yep... had them all... & sold 'em...
I still got the Mini b/c that has been the those MOST reliable!

Serious? I know that is user preference but it basically molds to my hands.
