so i got this dm4

[felony]

So i got this beautiful dm4, a spiderman in perfect condition for a great price. I love the gun. I threw a Tadao and a Cluedo mod and it rips like mad. I got a halo so I could feed the beast.

I feel like a idiot though. i just got caught up in the fact that my teamates got dm4s and when I found this deal i jumped on it. Now i dont wanna slide into the snake or play rough with this thing.

it has done nothing for my game except lose $$$$ in comparison to my emag. (i wasnt expecting it to do anything, but you know what i mean). I played just as well with my emag and revvy.

so whats the point of having the newest top of the line stuff? just so you can walk around the stagin areas showing off so people gawk at it? cause i got alot of that latley. but i cant justify having it when i could go back to an emag and get like 4-500 bucks back in my account. ( keep in mind i am strap for cash anyway)

sorry for my rant.. was a lil bit down on paintball all together the last few days/weeks.. had to let some out.

Eh... The only thing I'm not selling of my paintball stuff is my tribal twister, just cause, yeah.... Its now all new or anything, but it will mow muppets, just need like $700 for the parts that it will need once I get back in :-/

But that all comes after I sell basically all of my paintball stuff, buy a car, and get a nice job, and umm yeah, get back into paintball hopefully by summer.

For the price what dm4's are going for now, like 900 or whatever, its a very reasonable price imo.

I still can't understand why people are afraid to slide with there expensive guns. I've NEVER scratched any of my guns during a game, only off the field messing with tools. Come to think of it, I can't think of a gun I've majorly scratched in a long time.

[paintballer187]

Don't worry about getting scratches on it, it won't normally happen anyways. Also, if you want to shoot less paint just go back to the revy. The dm4 is much quieter then the emag and has much less kick. I would stick with it and just use a slower hopper to save on paint.

[wad04]

i totally agree

[magman007]

the dm4 is an awesome marker, and it out performs the e-mag in many ways. apparently you arent playing competitively enough to really use its full effects though. Sorry to hear this. if you are happy with it, i would stick with it, if not, then get rid of it.

no likey dm4?


ill trade you an xmag for it

yes..you can save some money..get a Viking that you'll eventually be unhappy with and then end up getting a DM5...right, M?

[ojhspyro89]

I see plenty of people with high end guns, they have WAY more problems with thier guns than i do being my gun is like a 1/3 of the price of thier gun. I love my BKO just for that reason. Its light, Cheap, and is pretty fast once its upgraded(upgradings fun!).

Those guns are nice no doubt, but who needs a gun that sounds like a whisper, and can shoot 45 bps faster than any human can legally shoot?

I just dont get it so ill stick with my bko for now.

this is exactly what i think:

you only need 1 gun, a good one so you don't need a backup (mag)
you can only use semi auto so why do u need 5+ fireing modes?
don't waste some of your money on batteries,
you get praised when you beat up a guy who has a $15 timmy with a $40 syder,
you only need to hit the person once (so shoot 17 bps???)

just some thoughts i had, some people share them too.

So you weren't expecting it to do anything, yet it seems like you're surprised it hasn't. If you played just as well with an emag and revvy, why bother upgrading?

Even good guns can go down. I don't really see the need for a backup unless you're hoping to get into tourneys though.

you get praised when you beat up a guy who has a $15 timmy with a $40 syder,

a $15 timmy and a $40 spyder....

you only need to hit the person once (so shoot 17 bps???)

Because you have a bit more of a chance of hitting them when you send 17 balls their way as opposed to 1.

great... youre making me question buying a DC freestyle...

no matter what marker you have it will have problems ocasionally/eventually, so its nice to have a backup just in case, plus you may want multiple markers for different scenarios (fast electro for tourneys/competitive play, mech marker for less competitive play/just to have fun with, and maybe a pump if you want to have a pump game every once in a while) and also you may want a loaner.
i dont think the modes of fire is really a buying point for anyone except the newbie who sees the electro spyder at wall mart.
a battery costs what, 2 dollars? its worth it.
dont know too many people that got a timmy for $15, thatd be pretty nice... but anyway, yeah that is fun getting a timmy user out with a lower end marker... but seriously, id still rather have a high end marker.
im not going to even get into that, yes of course you only need to hit someone once, but just try to argue that shooting more wont help. of course a guy with a phantom can get a guy with a timmy out, but having a timmy would be an advantage.

[magman007]

god master alexander, your a tool. what high end electro comes with modes of fire any more?

mags arent invinvible, they go down too

dont waste money on batterys? wtf? you already gotta buy a but load of em for your hopper, why not throw on in the gripframe while your at it?


beating some one with a timmy.... wow you get praise from other newbs... who gives a damn?

not needing to shoot 17bps? just stfu man, there is a reason we shoot this fast in tourny ball, and if you dont understand why, then /yourself
