I played a game or two with a mates' DM7 - are there any changes other than no eye covers (which saves what, 1/8 oz?). His DM shoots great, prefer my A1 but its a nice gun. As J@mes says, they're just less willing to throw them at every team who ask nicely - Dye teams seem to be just that, wear Dye head to toe (i3's, core gear, packs, locklids, even cleats) and Dye team jerseys have very little customization. They take on a few teams but go to town on them. So there's less teams shooting dye's and therefore less kicking around.
