It was a beautiful day out, warm and sunny and the snow is finally less than three feet deep, so we hauled the mines out for some longer range testing along with the tape measures. Here's the quick skinny:
The mini mine - This little CQB oriented mine is throwing a decent handful of bbs out to about a 25 foot effective range. (About 20 bbs, .12gram). The maximum we found a bb was out at 53 feet. The mass of shot was still knee high at 25 feet and could be felt through heavy pants.
The ... other mine, codename "radio" - This mine is throwing .12gram bbs mixed with .20 bbs out to 88 feet max, with the cluster of bbs mostly hitting out to about 80 feet. The mine has an effective range of about 65 to 70 feet and a spread at that distance of about 20 feet. We loaded this one with about 50 bbs on each shot and fired over clean snow so it was fairly easy to find the hit locations.
All in all... they are operating right about where we designed them to run, and are testing well. If you would like one, the mini cqb mines are available, just click the "for sale" tab on the upper bar! Help fund the Roadcrew's horrible ideas! Er... bb fund...
The Roadcrew is an airsoft group based in West Michigan. We are a casual group who also play with other local groups as time permits. This review is intended for new and intermediate players, to give them another perspective along with a good dose of weird humor on airsoft gear and tactics.
