As it says guys, just wondering who has a Proto Matrix, and what do they think of them..apparently, they are lighter than a DM5...which surprised me...!
Proto Matrix...Who has one,and what do they think?
- Thread starter Skeet
- Start date
Rob Peel (Robtattoo) on these forums has one - he's gone from a stubborn "im Xmag all the way" to "Sweet jesus proto is the way forward"
Also a fair few of the fat bobs leeds chaps use them

They shoot nicely, the eye logic seems good. The efficiency is a little bit of a let down, like 7-8 pods on a 68 ci 4.5k, but that's pretty common to the Dye spoolers. The downside there is that Evolve doesn't make a bolt kit for it. Stable in strings. i like the stock Dye regs.
I like getting my thumb around the back of the reg, and you can't do that with a Proto, but maybe that's just me.

My team mate has one, prob will post here laters.
I fired his at the last masters rounds, it is very light and yes it is lighter and smaller than the dm5.
It rips, very stable in strings, doesnt chop, very light and is generally everything you would expect from dye.
I cant compare it to the dm4/dm5 as I aint fired either but am pretty damn sure that its just as good if not as slightly well built.
Very good marker indeedy.

I have one. It's very easy to shoot quickly, weighs nigh on nothing, i can get 8 pots + a halo from a full 4.5k fill in a 1.1. The only thing I can find even remotely bad, is the amount of trigger bounce you can get. It's a very short & squat li'l bugger & the sheer lack of size took some getting used to, but you can play soooo tight it's unreal. It could definately do with a better trigger (personal preference, can't wait to get mine through. Cheers Skeet !!) & it's a pig to set the trigger up nicely, but you've only got to do it the once. The mode selection & adjustment is a breeze. Hardly any noticable difference to shoot between the Proto/DM4/DM5. They all feel the same to me, hence the Proto. I figured that I may as well save a few bob on a DM5 & get a virtually identical gun.
