Full retail for the DM6 is £930 mate....
and i think the difference in price is between the two stock guns.

Okay £165 cheaper including the UL frame. But that's still one helluva saving mate. In an ideal world I would love to have one of each, but for me as much as anyone else price is one of the major factors of buying anything. £165 buys a hell of a lot of paint & I couldn't justify spending the extra cash on something that I'm going to end up losing money on.
Overall, the DM6 (as I said earlier) is The Best Gun Ever Made, but on the other hand the Proto '06 is The Best Value Tournament Gun Ever Made. Even without the UL frame, it weighs in at around 2oz heavier than the Ego, but has a far more solid feel to it. Bottom line is, it's all personal preference & I probably wouldn't swap my 6 for anything. I've shot both DM & Proto, extensively & I prefer the feel of the Proto. It's that simple.

and when a new gun comes on the scene, no doubtedly the kids will go hungry once again and hell no doubtly have it The way you need to see the situation is that rarely a gun thats cheaper will precisely be better - the proto is a cheaper option to the DM with numberous cheaper alternatives to gap the guns, the DMs are a gun on thier own whilst the proto is a combination of style of the DM with more similarities to the old Matrix.
I would be silly to say that proto is far superior than the DM - But due to the lack of blingy and silly little extras on the proto, it can afford to cut away more and make the gun slightly smaller, this is where your own style and expectation in a marker come into it, i dont mind sacricing comfort for ease and practicality whilst others will disagree with me on this point
As above, ones mans junk is another mans treasures and the proto worked well for me, only thing i missed was the LED in the grip and the ease of chip swapping to change fire modes which was easily sorted by a virtue board.
It purely a fact of what works for you!
i've owned an original NYX, 2 dm4's and a pm5, have shot a dm5
my opinion
Proto 05 swap the feedneck for a clamping one- put a good barrel on it and you have a fantasticly fast, solid but lightweight marker. The pm6 has addressed all the upgrades pm5 owners did to their markers.
The dm range has always been the better looking sister in my opinion. But the proto is pure filth and will blow your mind!
Buy proto save your money to buy paint - go practise, always smiling inside at how many people you blow off the field.

The Basics
Proto is a division of Dye Precision and that is why so many Proto products look and perform like Dye products. The '05 Proto Matrix is nearly the same paintball marker as the Dye DM5. The differences are few and minimal between the two except for the price.
The '05 Matrix carries roughly the same body as the DM5 but just has different milling. The body minus the barrel and ASA measures just under nine inches long. The Matrix stands just under eight inches tall and is 1.25 inches wide. The stock feed tube adds 1.5 inches to the overall height to the Matrix. This paintball marker weighs 2.2 pounds. All around the '05 Proto Matrix is tight package. Most players will find the Matrix a little too tall at first but after a little "get to know you" time will feel comfortable aiming the marker.
This Proto is controlled by a circuit board in the grip frame. Inside the grip are the control switches that allow you to set the dwell, trigger sensitivity, and ROF (rate of fire). On the back edge of the grip you will find two switches and an LED light. The top button controls the power and the lower button switches the electronic eyes on and off. The LED light communicates the goings on with the '05 Matrix. The LED changes color when the marker is working well (green) and when there is an error (red or orange).
The body holds the LPR directly below the barrel. The LPR is recessed into the body and is adjusted with an allen wrench (included). The velocity is tweaked by adjusting the LPR and the Hyper2 in line regulator. The Matrix carries the Fuse bolt system. This is a one piece bolt/ram firing mechanism that eliminates a lot of the over all weight of the unit as well as increasing the paintball marker’s performance. This also reduces the number of service points and makes maintaining the marker easier.
The Proto Matrix has a 12 inch Proto one piece barrel. The barrel itself is well made. The Proto barrel is an above average performer made of high grade aluminum. The barrel is accurate. Light weight and well ported.
Dye’s famed Hyper2 in line regulator is standard with the '05 Matrix. The Hyper2 is one of the best regulators on the market today and works best in the 75-80 psi range. They are dead on performers that maintain their settings throughout the pressure envelope and very easy on the air consumption. The Matrix is a low pressure paintball marker is works best at pressures below 250 psi.
The 2005 Proto Matrix comes with lube, a manual, macro line, spare parts kit (o rings), tools (allen wrenches), and a nylon barrel condom. The Matrix is missing an ASA and a drop. You will need to pick those up to get the unit field ready.

"but daddy i dont like eating free meals at school all the kids laugh at me"
" Im sorry son but The Russian Legion have released another shocker thats identical to every other shocker.... except that they're badge is on it - so collect your tokens from the dinner lady as normal.... oh and by the way, if your wear another pair of socks those shoes will fit."
The DM6 is the best marker made and will be my only purchase all year - (i do have an 06 Ego for back up) but its the mutts - everyone to there own but dont bother ****ing about with a proto - just by the DM .
