Pm5

[echo34]

im thinking about getting a PM5, and i've got a few questions about it:
is the PM5 a good marker? is it easy to maintain? are there any upgrades that i should get with it or will the stock be okay for a while? will a PMI 1.1l 3000psi air bottle work well with it?
thanks.

they seem to be pretty air hungry so would probably be better with a 4500psi bottle but im no expert so get confirmation first

pm5's are a great marker... the pm6 is much smaller, less gas hungary. and its a great marker. easy to shoot.. not loud..

I've been shooting a PM5 for the most part of this year, and I can honestly say theres very few guns I'd rather be shooting, in fact, theres not really anything except for a PM6 or DM6 that I'd prefer.

Theyre not as air hungry as a lot of people believe, provided you fill up between games, which you should always do anyway, you shouldnt encounter any problems. Having said that, a 4500 psi air system would definately be better, but a 3000psi will certainly do the job.

Upgrade wise, get a proto or dye on/off asa and an upgraded feedneck, either CCM or DMC is what I would recommend. I use ultralite barrels on mine as well, and it works like a dream, though the stock barrel is also very effective

I cant recommend a PM5 enough to you mate

For the price ur gunna be paying for a PM5 u may aswell save a few quid and get a PM6

I see theres one under the clasified with UL frame (UL Frame Is A Must Have Upgrade)

Ive just purchased the PM6 with upgrades and love it

sooooooooooooo glad i didnt get an ego

I would try and get a 4500 1.1lt bottle with either an adjustable or hp preset reg on it.

love my pm5 cant fault it lube it up make certain the o-rings are ok and your away

on a 3k fill was getting a full egg plus 3 pods i think pretty much the same as my old eblade

but if your going to play where there is a 4.5k fill get a bigger bottle

got a lp bottle on mine and works well so either lp or hp its not a problem

and for a on of get a cp rail mount cant fault it excellent

got a dm4 feedneck on mine and works well

does the PM5 come with an air bottle attachment? is it an on/off, or does it need one of those too?

 

[Game]

not as standard no

 

[echo34]

so it does come with the attachment? is it easy to remove the bottle without the on/off?
