Dm4's ... the best ... why?

[sbays]

I have been searching a great many boards, and the Dm4 seems to be the most talked about by far. The general consensus is ... it's the BEST out. We all know that the "BEST" is quite subjective, so I would like to ask what your opinions are as to why these are the best? I mean specifically ... what advantages do these have over say the X-mag, which is still what I am currently leaning towards, but am completely open minded.

How are the Dm4's as far as accuracy? I know barrells have a lot to do with this. I know I keep harping on this issue, but really am having trouble deciding. I think it is imortant to have opinions from those of you in the know about these.

If i pick up the Dm4 ... what would you guys recommend for the rest of the gear for it. Barrels, air system, hopper, upgrades etc??? Additionally, if you happen to know of a good source for these internet/store that would be great. I have discovered that the X-mag isnt that easy to find .. but still looking.

I have always been more into rec ball than speed/tourney but do want to be able to "Keep Up" anywhere or way I decide to play. You guys have been very informative, and I give thanks to you all.

watch the 3 dm4 videos, the first one is one of the reasons I bought my dm4

DM4 much like the xmag, doesn't have many upgrades. For the DM4 you can get a new trigger or a new chip....about it until new bolts are released. The newest chip will be 35-40 bucks and it's released July 1st. Mondo fast

Air system doesn't matter really either, just make sure you get with with a decent recharge. I use a 5 year old nitro duck tank on mine. You can use HP or LP doesn't matter.

Hopper doesn't matter either because it has eyes. If you want to shoot fast get a fast hopper. I've always used an Evo2 with zboard on mine, but recently got a halo with victory board...haven't tried it yet.


don't forget to watch the videos! In the first, watch the gun while it shoots....IT DOESN'T EVEN MOVE, no kick = better accuracy.

It really depends on what the player likes. If I could get any marker I wanted this is what I would get:
Angel force fly
Empire reloader B
Kaner barrel sysyem
Flatline 68/4500
redz 4 pack

I personaly like the feel of angels. It all depends on what you like. I can go a lot faster on angels than I can on just about anything else. The gun has 0 kick if you set it up right, and is as fast as anything else on the block. Try the force fly out before you get the dm4.

they are some of the best but when you go that high end it is all about preference, The gun wont make you better. My rookie friends and I shooting spyders (my old cocker was down) Shot out two timmees a dm4 and a rat imp

Between the DM4 and the X-mag, get the X-mag. With the right setup, it is just as fast, and EVERYONE seems to have or be looking for a DM4. And the DM4 might actually have a lower efficiency than the X. Finally, the X requires less maintenance, and seems to be more reliable, but take that with a grain of salt, as I have not owned a DM4, and have to base my opinion on my use of other people's DM4s.

The gun DOES make you better. I hate when people say it doesn't.

My opinion is definately the DM4 over the Xmag. I used to own a ULE emag, basically the same as an Xmag except for the eye. My emag had more matenance than my dm4. I can shoot it at least twice as fast. Pretty sure it's lighter than my emag was, though I don't have both here now. Emag kicked, dm4 doesn't. They are close to the same efficiency, but DM4 can have upgradable bolts (which comes out soon) and a Xmag will probably never have one.

Here are some more videos to check out...first one I don't knwo how fast the hicks are shooting but it sounds like its blazing....the 2nd is leatherpants video witha dm4 in it.

LOL, I need to get a PGP so whenever I hear someone say that, I can just hand it to them and tell them to have at it.

[The Action Figure]

it doesnt make you personally any better,sure it will make you faster and more accurate, but give someone like one of the assassans a spyder thell take out someone who is terrible shooting a dm4

[Skoad]

I didn't say it makes you the best player, i said it makes you better.

I feel way more confident with my dm4 than any other gun. Now I move more, certain moves aren't as risky, etc.....I definately think it made me better.

hey whatever makes you feel better about about spending 1400 for a gun

[tony3]

DM4's are smooth, no kick at all, have awesome triggers, fast, consistent, and light, pretty much everything you could ask for. Over the emag they are faster then an emag with 3.2 software, they are lighter, and have less kick, not to mention a more adjustable trigger. Really, a ule emag will be just as good as an xmag, but on the other had a nice stock bodied trix with evolve and tadao will be just as good as a dm4. When you get into the 1k+ price range you are paying for looks. A nice 2k2 timmy will work just as good as an alias, but people are going nuts over alias'.

excuse me....I paid 1150 shipped.

[The Action Figure]

haha good deal I mean no offense either, DM4s do rock

[Skoad]

Ya i know

I'm not bashing the Xmag....but from personal experience ULE EMag = XMag < DM4

And with similar prices, DM4 is probably even cheaper if you pick one up in the forums, it's DM4 no contest.

only agg guns make u better
