    Dye's LPR's are horrible... everyone I know that has a Dye Matrix is selling theirs. The thing that sucks with the DM4 is it is built into the gun and cannot be changed.

    Ouch.

      Okay, I'll upload some images.


      This is the DM4 I got to play with and work on. I gotta admit after being around it for a while the look grows on ya. I do think it looks quite nice.

        Here is the "Fusion" bolt all together. It all pulls right out in one big fun yank. Sort of like taking all the guts out of a mag, everything just comes out nicely.

          And here it is again, unscrewed. Notice just how similar it is to the regular Matrix? Hmmmmm..... yeah.

            I personally like the black dusted and the cobalt to clear. But I'm still unsure if the DM4 is the right choice. I'm a little leary now about it because it was mentioned thet the Dye lprs suck and cannot be changed out of the DM4 and that is kind of crappy being a guns performance especially the noid driven ones reliy on an lpr alot. I don't want to drop a buttload of money on a gun and have it perform like crap. A gun needs to be as reliable as my Emag and all the other AGD guns I own, but I may be asking for too much.

              And while I'm at it... why the heck not. Here's the New Shocker's internals.

              Note the similarities!!!

                  I got to hold a DM4 at my shop today and it seemed to be really nice. It seemed kinda long like a timmy. The trigger feels awesome. Its the lightest marker I have held. And I've shot/held ever marker out there basically.

                    Well I watched the DM4 video and was very impressed. I have to admit it made me want one. Though if I was gonna get one I would go the LCD"DM3" route.

                      They are pretty nice. Go to shoot a friends DM4 the other day.

                      Nice, but not $1500 worth of nice.

                      When will we see the newest SuperMagnumGelcap Squirter top the $2k mark?

                            Figured I'd make some animation to help people along on how those internals work. This is an LCD Matrix animated version, but the same thing follows be it DM4, 03 Shocker, or even PGI Mayhem or Nova (to a point).




                            Just wish I could've made everything to scale, but not happening without computer scanning the internals! And not in Microsoft Paint with UnFreez!

                                I could, but I don't want to start sketching a mag valve yet. Probably never, actually. Too much tiny crud to work with for it to look/work properly with "flipbook" animation.

                                Just look at the rear seal and rotate 90*, think of it as the on/off assembly by AGD. It'll look close enough to the AIR valve that way. And save me a lot of time.
