The Empire Mini GS is one of the most popular electronic paintball markers ever made and is often the first electronic marker players own. Built on the proven Mini platform, the Mini GS delivers reliable performance in a compact and easy to use design that works perfectly for beginner and intermediate players alike.
Often referred to as a paintball gun by newer players, the Mini GS offers real electronic performance without unnecessary complexity. It is quiet, efficient, consistent, and known for being dead reliable in real field conditions. For players who want to take performance even further, the Mini GS also supports the Empire Paintball Mini GS and Axe 2.0 Redline Upgrade OLED Board and Display, allowing for enhanced programming and an upgraded user interface.
Built for Beginner and Intermediate Players
The Mini GS is an excellent choice for players upgrading from mechanical or rental equipment who want to take the next step in performance. It is simple to set up, easy to maintain, and forgiving to use, making it a great option for newer players learning the game.
Intermediate players continue to choose the Mini GS because it can keep up in competitive environments without feeling limiting. From rec play and woodsball to speedball and tournament formats, the Mini GS delivers consistent performance without the steep learning curve of higher end markers.
Compact, Comfortable, and Proven
True to its name, the Mini GS features a compact and lightweight design that is especially popular with kids, smaller framed players, and anyone who prefers a tight and agile setup. The wrap around rubber foregrip and rear grip provide excellent control, even when your hands are wet, muddy, or covered in paint.
At the heart of the Mini GS is the pressure controlled poppet engine that made the Mini platform famous. Combined with break beam anti chop eyes and a hose less air transfer design, the marker stays smooth, efficient, and reliable game after game.
An integrated on off ASA allows players to shut off air quickly, making tank removal easy and reducing wear on O rings.
A Marker That Grows With You
The Empire Mini GS remains one of the most recommended electronic paintball guns because it balances simplicity with real performance. It accepts Autococker threaded barrels, supports common upgrades, and offers adjustable electronic firing modes as players progress.
