Ironmen Intitmidator Vs. DM4

[SpongeBobSquarePants]

Well I'm thinking of buying a DM4. I have a awsome working Ironmen Intimidator, with WAS 2.7. It Rocks. However, I want to try something new. Can someone give me some info on how comparable they are too the regular matrix? Example-All the matience?

Is the DM4 gonna be a gun that I can just flip the switch and its gonna work all the time? Or is this gonna be something were I have to tinker with the LPR all the time. I want a simple reliable gun. So spill the down falls of the DM4 before I screw my self out of a great gun which I already have.

well, it does have some really horrid milling...

Are you looking to sell your matrix to buy the DM4? The DM4 is just another matrix, just super uglified. I would stay with what you have, and just focus on becoming a good player.

Too many people are switching markers every damned day! Why isn't anyone happy with what they have?

I'm new to the Matrix family as of 2 weeks ago when I sold my Emag and bought a DM4, and I couldn't be happier ! This gun absolutely rocks ! It's so fast it's not even funny. The LPR is great. It's not like the LPR's on the regular Matrix. It's more like the AKA LPR where you set it once and don't mess with it again. It's self-adjusting. If you change your inline reg to increase or decrease velocity, you don't have to mess with the LPR at all. In fact to set the LPR, you turn it all the way in, then back it out 5 turns which sets it around 75psi. Then you never touch it again. The only maintenance is keeping the bolt lubed up. It's also got a lot of orings so they need to be replaced from time to time. The bolt is very simple and has less parts than the stock matrix. My only beef is the efficiency. I only get about 1000 shots off a 68 4500. I was told that after I put about 3-4 cases of paint through it, the inline reg breaks in and the efficiency gets a little better. Evolve is also testing a prototype bolt now, that when it comes out (hopefully in a month or 2) will give about 2000 shots off a 68 4500. Also I was told it can be finicky in cold temps. I played this weekend and it was around 30 out. My velocity did drop so I turned up my LPR and then it shot fine. You can also use a thinner lube in the cold too. It will help to keep the bolt moving smoothly.

I've never shot a regular matrix so I can't give you a comparison but the DM4 is an awesome gun ! Very light too !

If you dont like tinkering and maintenance what about an Angel?

it appears you want to try a new marker, and you have had your timmy for a good amount of time now. If you feel its time, then by all means, go for it! Serriously! If you get a dm4, and for some odd reason it doesnt work out for you, you can always trade it for an even better timmy! (empire, alias, dawgs, and soon the dark) if you so desire!

So go for it man! and dont look back! i loved my old trix, and im lookin to get a dm4 now too!

[tyrion2323]

okay, now I feel silly!

I thought you were comparing a matrix to the DM4.

I have the biggest hard-on for the Matrix ever since I got the NYX, but the Alias is a better gun than the DM4 right now. DM4 is too new, not so much the design, but with DYE manufacturing it. IMHO they set back Matrix development for 9 months to a year by buying the rights, but anyways...

I was in your shoes 2 months ago, but what I decided to do is wait to see what the Toxic and NYX versions of the DM4 will be, but for the spring and summer pick up the Alias.

[RT pRo AuToMaG]

The DM4 is going places. They have the XSF Advantage chip (www.xsfadvantage.com), evolve is coming out with a bolt kit for it, shocktech just released a new body for it, and they are working on an NYX version of the DM4 as well. Personally, I'd wait and see what the NYX version will be like, and get that, or get the shocktech version, but you would have to have some serious cash.

Forget both, get the new Fly 4. I know i'd sell pieces of your anatomy to get one.

Alias pwns the fly. (raises hand) ...Has messed with and shot both.

[~WarpedRT#2~]

Yeah, in your opinion it does, too bad I cant take you seriously after that comment.

Gee, kid, that really hurt my feelings. I guess you wouldn't mind telling everyone from your own superior experience with both markers why the Fly is better? Can you?

[~WarpedRT#2~]

It's all personal preference. I've shot out tons of people who used high end guns back when I still had a Piranha. The gun doesnt make the player. If you want a solid shooting platform, you cant go wrong with an Angel. The new Fly has alot of features, that I'm sure rival the Alias. So why do you think the Alias is better?

[DiRTyBuNNy]

I think the Alias is better because I personally have held and shot both guns...which is more than you have done..
