God I hate Minis more than anything. They shoot nice enough when they work, and most advanced players don't have any problems with them; but, they are an absolute PAIN IN MY ASS.
Two kids bought brand new guns this week. The CZR paired with a gravity fed worked perfectly all day because it's not a terrible piece of shit. The Mini was brought to me literally every single game.
Game 1: Chopped ball. Okay, no worries, I see you don't have a squeegee so borrow mine.
Game 2: Chopped ball. Umm, well I guess your eyes are dirty from before. Maybe your paint is bad, I see you're using Walmart paint so maybe it's just a bad batch.
Game 3: Gun won't cycle with good paint. Bolt is stuck forward because it pinched paint into the breech. Let's hammer it out with my squeegee. Sounds like it's cycling good now.
Game 4: It's not actually cycling. Hammering out the bolt tip stretched the rubber face and now it's not fully resetting.
Game 5: Oh what do you know, that shitty dump chamber/AT pipe thingy's seal that's a proprietary size started leaking like every other Mini ever. We didn't even take the grip or frame apart yet. Sorry kid I got shit to do. Borrow a working EMEK that hasn't been lubed in 2 years if you want.
It's a different Mini with different (but the same) problems every single week. I'd understand if these were 10 year old guns (respect to the resilience of that god awful reg that's a PITA to service) but these guns suck balls out of the box. Please stop recommending them to beginners.
