info. on Proto matrix 05

[tru_flip56]

ok..im planning to buy the proto matrix 05 juss because its is less than a 1000 and it looks like it may out perform the DM4 from the info i got....anywayz does anyone know about it or have seen it in person?....because to me it looks a little fat...unlike the DM4 which is thin...
so anyone know?

[magmanl337]

yea, i saw the proto matrix.... i know a few 4 letter words to describe it, which i will state below:


-ugly
-icky
-ugly
-dont
-Nooo

That about sums it up

[tru_flip56]

ok but is it like fat....because it looks like that to me...

[magmanl337]

naw, its the same exact size as a dm4, infact they are pretty much same gun (both 'trixes)

[SpecialBlend2786]

I might pick one up at the Cup.

Then again I may just wait for those Custom LED Trixes to come down more in price :)

[tru_flip56]

ok thats good to know....i know people, in fact a lot of people, dont like the looks of it but i would suppose it performs like the DM4, and it is cheaper....i mean i dont really need to have a good looking gun...juss as long as it works great....but in my oppinion it looks ok.

pff what do you mean you dont need a good looking gun? thats all that counts! if you sucked balls but had a cool gun, you would be so agg

[tru_flip56]

no what i mean is i dont need a gun that people think is ugly...i personally like the looks of all the dye matrixes...thats just me...
oh and does anyone know anything about this gun....i saw some info on bradyspaintball.com but what else is so special about this marker....

[adt501]

it dosent look that bad. who cares about looks anyways? if its cheaper then the dm4, more power to it.

[tru_flip56]

thats exactly what i think....and if it performs like a DM4 and cheaper ill definitly jump at the chance.

[Skoad]

i don't think they look that bad. if you get a solid color one (eye covers match the body) it looks nice.

but it will not out perform a dm4, especially if you have aftermarket dm4 thingys

[ilikePB]

When I shot it, it felt exactly like the DM4.

[tru_flip56]

yeah it should shoot like the DM4 or a little better than the DM4 from what i heard....but of course the DM4 will out perform it with all those new chips...

[Vash-HT]

they probably have very similar boards, if not the same ones, i wouldnt be surprised if the chips worked on the proto as well.

[Skoad]

they don't, proto's don't have replaceable memory chips.

[FSU_Paintball]

Ignore magman's post, unless you find something helpful in there (I didn't)

Proto is a fine choice. Doesn't outperform the DM5. Might SLIGHTLY outperform a DM4, but nothing to scream about, and it unfortunately doesn't have the DM4 on/off. Proto is a little smaller and lighter, though.

Used Dm4 or a Proto will do you fine. I don't think they're that nice looking of guns, but the performance is definitely top notch.

[tru_flip56]

yes, they are different but they both pretty much work the same...

[RenagadeOfFunk]

so how about them intimidators... :rolleyes: :p


...i might pick up the dm5...and if i go insane the proto......or just be AGG (omg i used that gay term in a sentece) and stick with my alias and do some "special mods"...

-everything can be perfected...

[tru_flip56]

you know what.. i was actually gonna have my friend try and see if he can pick me up the 05 Ripper but i thought to myself and i think 1500 isnt worth it for me because thats a little too much....so i decided to go with the proto....oh...if anyone has pictures of the 05 timmies..please share...id like to see em

[automagkid24]

Actually it isnt how the gun looks. I mean its good to have a nice looking gun but its how it performs that counts. And wtf is agg. Havent got up to date lately.

[LittlePaintballBoy]

Oh dear...

[FreakBaller12]

why do you think it's cheaper than the dm4, you know there is a catch.

key word..... "looks"

same as a 03 trix pretty much, baqsically a dm4 body with 03 internals

[gc82000]

the DM4 are going to be dropping in drice very soon. Just in time for christmas. :clap: Get one then.

[Head knight of Ni]

The silver/black proto looked pretty good at 'cup. If you go to 'cup you can fire the Matrixes just sit through the line.

[tru_flip56]

i dont believe that it has 03 parts......



from bradyspaintball.com

The new marker apppears to be based off the Dye DM4, but with new milling and eye covers. Also its said that this marker will have different electronics than the DM4.

The new features to be included with the new Proto Matrix are:

Matching Proto Barrel
Internal Modular LPR
Hyper-2 in line regulator
Revised Anti-Chop eye system
An industry first, composite eyeplate
Continuous 3 dimensional body design
Compact ergonomicly designed milling
Lightweight compact body
Proto Matrix Sticky grip
LED program control
Ergonomic 45 grip frame
Removable one peice FUSE bolt system
Adjustable trigger sensitivity

it says its based off the DM4 but different electronics...doesnt mean it has 03 parts....why would it have 03 parts...thats just stupid

[madmolly]

PM me later on if you don't buy one right away I will see if I can get you a deal.

[Chris42050]

PBN lingo. Started out meaning a gay guy. Somehow it got around to describing good looking guns and stuff like that. :confused:

[ilikePB]

Started out meaning a gay guy.
LOL, where the hell did you get that? It started life meaning aggro, which was a slang term for aggressive which was used back in the day by skateboarders and surfers also.

[deadmeat88]

does Proto trixs have bonce?

Anyways...

Just like nearly every other upper-end gun on the market, they can be as bouncy or as bounce-free as you'd like them to be. Depends how you set the trigger up.

[Gumbe]

man i dont know what they are talking about i think this gun look fine, i love this look.

[DavEMAG]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v330/Dave103076/proto2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v330/Dave103076/proto1.jpg umm...lemme say this... I have a proto. The gun itself is ALOT smaller than a DM4, and ALOT lighter. Look in my pic i'm posting...the gun looks smaller than my Halo. The proto shoots just as good as a stock DM4 right outta the box. The trigger sensitivity can be set at 1 and the gun will bounce like mad, or leave it at stock setting and play normal. The gun shoots great, for a frontman it's the perfect little killing machine. THERE ARE HOWEVER A FEW THINGS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN CHANGED IN MY OPINION......
1 = DIFFERENT BARREL...I DONT FAVOR STOCK BARRELS AT ALL
2 = THE BOARD...NO CHIP UPGRADES, YOU MUST CHANGE THE WHOLE BOARD OUT
3 = FEEDNECK...WILL FIT UNSANDED HALO PERFECTLY, BUT A CLAMPER WOULDA BEEN BETTER

Other than that, which the barrel is my preference ( i shoot a freak ) the gun's performance is pretty solid. It's not made with 03 parts, The gun is the lighest of the Trix's i've seen so far, and it balances well.

[Torbo]

my friend got one a few weeks ago, and here are my observations.

Its definatly small, the pictures above give a good idea. Its pretty light too, and it balances nicely. The trigger feels good too. It shoots great, and it does shoot much like a dm4. Its definatly fast, no doubt on that.

I dont really like the way they look though. One problem ive seen is the eyes. It looks really really easy to break the eyes/wires. The holes that the eyes sit in are way bigger than the eyes, so they really collect paint. It seems that it goes into bypass as soon as you break one ball. I also dont like the eye covers, i think they look crappy.

[Glickman]

does Proto trixs have bonce?

nearly every gun ever made could be made to bounce.

it shoots pretty similar to a dm4, except lighter and smaller (it does seem a little wider, but barely)

im looking to trade my trix for one, either that or a mag (too bad the hAir will be way to expensive, and theres no reliable electro trigger thats priced decently)
