would it be worth getting an ultralite framne for my PM5, or should i save the money and get a PMR, what does a UL frame add to the PM5?

the UL frame alters the entire balance of your marker. making it sit in your hand a lot easier. its well worth the money. a PMR is a worthy buy as well. personally id UL the pm.

A PMR is more recent and up to date in my opinion, and they are great guns, and with a PMR you wouldnt even need to get a UL frame, since the stock pmr/pm7 board in it has semi, psp and mil already on it, and plus the UL actually ways more than the stock frame already fitted on the PMR. And theres plenty of aftermarket triggers for the PMR if you dont like the stock one, the stock trigger is either a love or hate trigger, some ballers love it, some hate it.

alot of people prefer the way the UL frame feels in your hands, yes you can get boards that fit the stock frames, but the ergonomic feel of the Ul frame is worth the hefty price tag.

for the price, you may aswell get a PM6, and save the extra money for a UL frame for that. Cant wait to get mine :D

I've owned quite a few matrixes and I personally wouldnt buy one without an ultralite frame, it is so much more comfortable to hold and use, frankly as far as I'm concerned, it makes the gun. On my old team we all shot PM6s and I was one of the only guys without an UL frame; when using a spare team gun instead of mine, it honestly felt like I was using an entirely different type of gun.

That said, it all comes down to personal preference, some people really hate the feel of UL frames, so you really should try one first.

I hope that helps
