    Any of those guns are fast, but not necessarily more accurate. In order to maintain accuracy, you must have a good paint / barrel match. Better consistancy doesn't hurt either.

      no marker is more accurate than any other marker
      trixes will only outrun a halo if you can outrun a halo, keep that in mind (well, without ramping, ect, but thats just no fun) for cost-performance ratio, a DM5 is not worth more than double the price of an upped DM3.
      markers i would concider-

      DM3- the one i had was awesome, great marker, i wasnt fond of the overall feel, but, if you liek the feel, i would recommend one
      freestyle- im currently looking into picking one up
      viking- just solid, fast, great markers
      timmys-not bad, but, like the trix, not my style
      Proto perhaps- just picked one up, not here yet, but, shipping soon, looks like a nice DM4/5 alternative, but, smaller and lighter than either. I will have more about it when mine arrives.

      if you do decide on a DM5, it will not be any faster, or more accurate than a DM3, or any other high end electro, actually, if you want to get tachnical about theoretical speed, DM5's have been tested wiht full auto and a Q loader and only been found to fire ~22bps max due to the spool valve operation (like a 22bs cap will slow anyone down )

        You could always look into a Devilmag.

            i have a dm3 and a dm5 and the dm5 is 200% better. it comes with a clamping feedneck, a bearing trigger, it's lighter, smaller, better on air (mine is), smoother, less kick... just all around an awesome marker. best one i've owned yet...especially when you put a tadao musashi chip in it. you're looking at the difference between $1280 and $600-ish. the dm5 is worth every cent though.

            but that's just my opinion.

                  yeah, not great wording, but, ill answer what i could understand
                  paint to barrel match involves having a barrel kit and matching teh size of your paint to the bore of your barrel, one of the biggest factors of accuract in paintball.

                          What do you think of the shooting profile compared to the mags?

                            I would love to answer your post but this is AO, not pbn. For God's sake please fix your first post so it resembles some form of English. I am the worst speller here, however that garbage is unreadable.

                              Asking me?

                              Which one compared to a Mag?

                              Both Trixes are taller no question. The 5 is a bunch thinner than the 3 but still thicker than my Xmag by a tiny bit. The Xmag is shorter overall by like 1/2 -3/4 inch if you line up the bottom of the grip frames. It's a little less than a full barrel thickness.
