PMR help

[TeamImpact-Will]

Hi, im thinking of getting a PMR, people are saying to me, omg its heavy(when many people say its light), or its not good for sup air (which i will be playing in) etc... Ive seen nothing but good reviews of pmr's on www.pbreview.com . I was wondering if anyone who has held or used a PMR can give me the facts about this gun. Its strengths, weaknesses, any good for sup air, reliable? etc...

Thanks
Will

light - lovely and light

perfect for supair - nothing wrong with using it there.

many people dislike the trigger - but this is a personal preference - i dont mind it too much - but you can get an ultralite or aluminium trigger for £17 - or you can get a completely new frame and get the ul frame on it and this makes it even lighter and is very sweet - if you dont upgrade the frame you can also put on the aluminum trigger guard.

the airport is a bit naff as there is no way to turn off the air supply - but its nothing too major.

Also whats better, an ion with virtue or a PMR and thanks for the info by the way

PMR imo, and the end of the day no matter what you do to an ion its still an ion.

unless you change the body kit the pmr looks nicer imo - and you can always get new boards for the pmr as well.

If you can, get a 2nd-hand PM6 instead. They're cheaper than new PMR's, have so much less kick and aren't made of plastic (sorry, polymer)

but pmr's are smaller! and if its a stock pm6 it only has semi auto

Only 1/2" shorter though, and pretty much all newbie tournaments are limited to semi-auto, so not having ramping isn't an issue. Plus the PM6 has an LPR (for consistency), a purging ASA and a decent bolt at a lower price
