so i got this dm4

[LittlePaintballBoy]

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.

You are such an idiot.

[nastymag]

wow ...so much flaming. he only said his opinions

[LittlePaintballBoy]

But nasty, the thing is his opinions are wrong.

[Kaiser Bob]

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.

Go ahead and get dirty with it if you think you might keep it. Personally I've always watched the players that had higher end guns that looked like they actually USED them instead of posed with them. Scratches are character

and a black vcg efficiency mod to the lx.

i know i dont check the boards as much as i used to, mostly because i have found a lack of intelligent info, but did i miss something?

I think its funny cause I shoot my emag at the rec field in the off season and ppl w/ rentals get me out sometimes. I dont gawk about it, its just an out. Its funny cause I always hear them bragging, like" I got the guy w/ the emag out" That must mean they are really good right? riiiiight.

well, I felt the same way. Its like a pit of endless spending. At least you got a good deal for it. Lucky for me, I bought an angel after my emag, and didnt like it, this incident convinced me to be loyal to my emag.

I say youre still cool though, cause 850 is a good deal on one. Maybe you can sell it and still get some money off of it. Hell, maybe even make some money.

Let it be a lesson, its not wise to spend about 900 on a gun just to jump on the bandwagon. Dont worry, be optimisic, Im sure there are more expensive lessons in life. At least you didnt loose several thousand and an arm street racing like my friends to finally get the picture.

[magman007]

the black vcg mod is that he takes an old lx bolt, removeable stem style, and super polishes the stem, there fore it will opperate to lower pressures. great mod if you ask me

[Cyberious]

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)

That pretty much sums it up. I was in a race to have the newest and coolest markers for a while. It gets expensive and gets you no where. I still own alot of markers I don't use. I use my XMag and carry a back up mag. Mind you I carry a back up not because I think my XMag will go down but because I want to save money. I'll use my X a couple of games and go through a couple of thousand paintballs. I then switch to one of my trusty mechanical mags so I can stay the rest of the day to play. I walked all over WorldCup this year and looked at all the newest toys. I really didn't see a single one that I could shoot any faster than my XMag. Actually once I upgraded to the 3.2 software I was outshooting my Hyperflow Preset. Had to buy an adjustable reg too since anything over 16 bps the gun began to Chuff. Were I you I'd sell the Disturbingly Mangled 4 (I never did like the looks of them) and go back to the marker that you were happier with. By adjusting the trigger a bit and running the 3.2 software you'll easily keep up. Keep it long enough and people will gawk at it wondering what it is. I still get people wondering what my Old Skool RT is.

[misfit]

i had a feeling thats what you were talking about.

[robb2269]

Ding, ding ding ding!

I was listening to these morons at a local pro shop. There were 4-5 of them hangning out blabing about the newst "gats." There was an even number of dm4's, shockers, and timmy's amoungst thier group. All they could talk about was which gun they were getting next, new angel, freestyle......

Some day, or maybe never, people are going to find that most guns are same crap different pile. They all shoot fast, they all shoot 300 fps, etc.... Buy what you like and not what is the hype on a message board or whats cool to the local "tourney' crowd.

There is one absolute fact, I have never had a mag that cuased me any trouble. I have however, owned about everything else that has given me some problem in the past.

I agree, I get caught up in it sometimes wanting that better marker. How do you know there not thinking that when they are walking off the field. Marker not going to amke the player, but there is no doubt they can shoot fast and sen more balls then a mech. Just practice I'm sure you will find the strentghs of you new Matrix.

oh i know the strengths of the matrix. fast, little to no kick and consistent. ease of operation and mantainence is simple.

but so was my TMC trix and somewhat my old emag.

but yeah, i guess we beat this to a pulp.. soo yeah

[wad04]

give me a detailed description of why the dm4 is better then a hmm lets say a 03 shocker or some other 500-700 dollar gun. what makes it THAT much better, and why would you have to be good to understand that?
