Can I bring a massage gun on a plane?

Yes. Massage guns with lithium batteries under 100Wh are allowed in carry-on luggage. Do not pack them in checked bags.

Are mini massage guns as effective as full-size?

For surface-level and moderate-depth work, yes. For deep tissue treatment of large muscle groups like glutes and quads, a full-size gun with higher stall force is more effective.
