I'm sorry If It's a stupid question but what Is a QC? Or what Is QC?

the G3 has more vibration then the mini will but i dont like how the solenoid vents onto the top of the trigger which can cause it to go full auto while not touching the trigger. i like to have my trigger set very close to activation

Ok sorry i know what i say is going to spawn a lot of dissagreement. but before any one buys a mini, a G3, or any other gun i think they need to watch these reviews:

invert Mini : YouTube - Empire / Invert Mini Paintball Gun Review

DP G3 :YouTube - The REAL Dangerous Power G3 Review
but i have have had a bit of experiance playing around and with these guns and to say for starters why dose every one have such a fetish with poorly made guns like the mini just because it has a big name dos't make it a good gun and frankly everyone that has owned both say that the G3 is just as good if not better because it is not as finiky and more reliable that the Mini... and also if you have ever been shot at by a mini and a G3 you can barely hear the G3 and well not the same for the Mini so if your game is stealth Quiet is your game so why buy a noisy marker?

And if you are going to buy a marker for $300 how long is it going to stay Stock? lets be honest (i have a old piece of crap gun that well the only thing original is ... the stack tube frame every thing else is an upgrade. ) and the same can be said by almost all serious players they never buy a gun not planning on the upgrades too. i am in the process of getting my own G3 and i will mod the gun with in the first month the new bolt and the OLED board from Virtue.
Dollar for Dollar the G3 will be just as good a gun for less money

so as i said this is my own opinion and observations... i am bias i love the G3 and not so much the Mini sorry.

And Mike from TechPB also said that the best guns for $300 is not the SLG or the G3 anyways, it's the Blackheart Vibe

Better board, better trigger, smoother shot, all that stuff, so if you really want something better, the BH Vibe is what you want

Murray in Utah · October 29th, 08:27 PM

if it came fom the mouth of Mike from TechPB it is truth!!!!! but as for the Mini Vs the G3 i & 90% of people who play will never see a noticable differance one over the other in play. so it comes to price and how user friendly the marker reall is.

lol @ techpb

While Mike might not be the nicest or coolest guy on the block, he does post up some interesting stuff, and while I don't agree with him on some things, he is absolutely right about the BH Vibe being the best gun for $300

**Trbo323** · October 31st, 02:27 PM

I agree, mike comes off sounding like he knows everything when he doesnt, he didnt even mention that the g3s had a really bad run when they first came out but for the mini did make it sound like all of them were hit and miss when in reality it was only the gen 1s that had issues

as for everyone jumping behind the "big name" of invert, lets think about this for a second, DP has how many markers out? and invert has 1, ya you are absolutely correct, invert has a huge name in the marker department

I have never been impressed by the G3, sofar it is the loudest spool valve marker i have heard, mini is a poppet, and to be honest not all that loud of a poppet since it is a pressure controlled one. as far as unbalanced spools are concerned G3 is second to last on my list only to that of the normal ion

***Db0ne*** · November 1st, 01:58 AM

The G3 needs a better bolt engine
The mini needs a on/off or something to make the tank easier to screw off.

Both could use better air eff.

Anything else like board and trigger wont really do much for you. So "modding" it like crazy is least ideal thing to do when you can just buy a higher end marker....
And may i ask, why the OLED board? IMO thats the biggest waste of money for a marker.

**Trbo323** · November 1st, 01:08 AM

ya after owning my mini for a week i could see no reason why invert didnt put the reg in the grip frame and go with a standard asa

i guess for the same reason they included a barrel plug......morons

Try shooting the Promaster and the Mini first
Kinda like a test drive, try both of them out and then make your choice..
