I would go for a mini, it is a newer gun which means there will be some minor bugs with it but it should all be covered under warranty. They are both good guns, but the 05 ego is older, and probably has a few problems with it.

True..but the ego has a screen which tells me how many BPS i am shooting. Not very useful in fights, but (to me atleast) would be very useful for training when i am bored and such. I have never even seen a mini before, does it have anything similiar?

Knowing your BPS is not important at all in any way... You will mostly be using ramping, so you know you will be shooting 15 bps.

true nick..but it should get time going when i am bored. Pluss if i can shoot 15 bps with ease, then i should be able to fire more without getting tired and maybe react a bit faster to the trigger

but to whats more important: how are they to use in a match? is the mini easier to "pwn" people with or the ego? :P (ofcourse, i know it depends on me)

i dont think he should base his decision on a LCD screen that states bps and guns dont pwn people, your skills will. Ollie Lang could pwn with a tippmann, choose what you like better.

i like egos, just me, i dont care what you decide. im just saying id choose ego.
