Inverted rollerguns usually have a side mounted line release that runs the shooting line wraps outboard of the band system.
I agree, MVD's setup isn't good for inverts. I got tangles all the time running the shooting line where the underside bands are. I gave up on inverts because my shots were all wonky with the line running like that. I ended up inserting another line wrap pin at the muzzle and changing my line wraps to the side, completely away from the unsderside bands. That solved the issue. Otherwise I really like the MVD handle which moves the reel to the trigger guard and the molded in line anchor.
