Which is a better shooting gun and why, the valken proton or the invert mini. Also what other guns in that price range compare to the proton and mini.

The Proton beats every other gun that would cost that much new. It is smoother and quieter than the Mini and has better ergonomics and a better trigger.

Yes now what is more worth it, the proton for 325 or the extcy for 175 or the mini for 200

Thats a good price on an Extcy. I would personally go with that and use the money saved to upgrade mask/tank/loader and to play.

It's hard to beat the price of an extcy they have a lot of bang for the buck....but I love my proton and wouldn't trade it for an extcy and additional equip.

I already have a dye i4 and a ninja 50/45 and a invery halo too. So I just want to know which

I love my mini. It's the best shooter of the three and you get empires customer service.

If it's a newer model mini, go for it. I've had a great time with the ones that I've had. Nice and small, reliable if you keep them up-to-snuff. Not bad for the price either. If you're going to spend $325.00 give or take on a marker, try to find a used etek 3 or even some of the older Bob Long markers on the used BST. Great stuff in there, just gotta look!

[kornerkutz]

Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely take all this information into consideration

I have a proton and love it!!! It's super smooth and feels great but it does kick a little more than the mini just because its lighter. I have shot both the proton and the mini and I would never trade mine for a mini ever! The micro switch is better than the optical in the mini/ it is wider than the mini so it's more comfortable/ it's lighter/ faster mode changing/ better trigger/ and the tool less bolt removal.

The only problems are the grips are too small/ you have to use a socket wrench for the regulator/ And I have broken some balls in the barrel but it is also 5 degrees out when I was shooting it.
My preference is the mini!

Sorry proton my friend stole my phone. (He has a mini)

My dad has a proton and I have a mini, so unlike a lot of people in this thread, I think I might have a better ability to compare. The proton definitely has the advantage by way of features, as it comes with an on/off asa out of the box, however that is easily fixed by putting some oil on the mini's asa threads. DO NOT PUT OIL ON THE FILL NIPPLE OF YOUR TANK. Just making sure, anyways, I have tested them both out, side by side, and contrary to popular belief, the mini had a smoother and quieter shot. The new versions of the mini are very much improved, so I would say those win the quality of shot category. What it really comes down to is the ergonomics. If you can, try and hold both, the mini feels horrible to many, but amazing to me, whereas I cannot deal with how stiff the proton's trigger is, and I much prefer the loose and bouncy trigger on the mini! In the end, it all comes down to how it feels in your hands, so that should be the deciding factor IMO.

Thabks man. Ill for sure prob go with the proton because ive felt both and I love the feel of the proton. As u said the feel of the mini isnt very appealing to most. Thanks!!!!

Used Axe, it shits down both of their feednecks in every single way imaginable.

Get a G4 or G5... they have amazing triggers and ergonomics, plus they are the lightest guns around for sub $300 range... Have had my G4 for 2 years and i hosn't gone down on me. Also... bolt stick is a problem they DP is solving before it gets to you now so dont worry about that.
