Worth it? Speed Or Weight?

Hey Guys,

Atm im shooting a PM5 with a virtue board inside, and its extremely fast and reliable, but the weight of the gun is really getting on my nerves:eek: and i want to make it lighter!

So i was thinking to buy a UL frame from sloth. But then realised that the virtue board wont work in the UL Frame making the gun slower.

So is it really worth buying a UL frame but then having to take out the virtue board which makes my gat the machine it is!

So the final question is, Is it worth making your gun lighter but slower? :confused:

Thanks ;)

P.S Any boards similar to the virtue that i could stick in to make the gun that fraction faster!? ;)

As you know.
99% of tourny's only allow 15(ish) Bps.

So Weight is an important factor
speed still is important but as a PM5 does 15 like a piece of p*ss
i shouldnt worry about slowing it down. ;)
i would suggest speaking to "Fly" about DM/PM issues
he is the guru and will throw you in the right direction.
Hope you sort the problem

You could buy a virtue board for the UL frame or for the money sell the pm5 and buy a DM6.

Or you could do some pressups, few chinups or drink more beer (lifting of pint glass);) and the weight won't get on your nerves.

They are pretty light guns,

oh an btw the UL frame won't make it noticably lighter.

WHAT!? There £155.00 brand new and they wont make your gun noticabley lighter???:confused:
New board, trigger, frame, grips, ramping etc and slightly lighter (were talking grams, if you ate a mars bar before you played it would even it out.). So there are alot of benefits but not greatly lighter.

Hopper: Halo B

>CP Trigger
>Clamping Feedneck
>Stock reg
>Stock Frame

Any of that i can change to make the gun noticabley lighter?
