Dm5 Or Proto

Scars

Retired tattooed lout!
Theres heaps more you can do on a DM5 than a proto....

Protos are alot lighter mind but you need to spend the wonga to get them up to scratch- ie no clamping feedneck or ASA, and alot don't like the DM4 triggers on them - DMS are easier to get ramp ready than the Proto's also

Whilst the DM5 have all the above as standard - I know there a little iffy but the on/off are a nice touch - im also a DM fan so i'd say the DM5

here is a list and short brief of the differences of the DM4/5 and Proto... I hope this helps you decide.

Proto every time, smaller lighter and cheaper (as the cost will always sway you!!)

Also the new proto 06 is gona be out in a bit so the prices may well drop further!

Buy a proto, do all the ups, and it will rip like a bihatch!

I would say proto. Never been too much of a fan of the newer matrix markers, but a coach has a proto with tadao in, and its mighty quick and light. The lower price really shouldnt put you off, they are bargains!

proto for sure: lighter, cheaper, quicker (in my opinion) and smaller. iv shot both and have to say i liked the proto more, dm's are SO top heavy (agen in my opinion).

Dm5

I have the DMC which is just the same as the dm5 but slightly lighter , bear in mind all the matrixs are a higher maintainance marker mainly the greese ?O rings on the bolt keep on top of them and this marker will serve you well.

I just love the dmc /5 because its ao quiet and doesnt smash paint , these guns could shoot raw eggs without breaking the shells:D

which ever you decide to buy i suppose its all down to personell preference and the affordability, all the advice on this thread is excellent;)
