lmao, your field owner is an idiot and you are a bigger idiot if you play there without complaining. In fact, what field and tournament was it? I just do not see that happening especially at the tournament.

Why? I don't use ramping - I'm exposing myself to a risk of injury but no more than normal civil or criminal liabiliy than any other time I play. I also don't beleive that ramping reflects that much of an advantage at the skill level I am at. The only thing I am exposing myself to is the chance of being injured. And as much as I beleive that chance is there I find it within acceptable limitations even in such cases. There are also, at least at some of them, reasonable overshooting rules. PM me if you want names but I'm not making it a public issue as far as who did it.

I never said you did ramp, I said the field owner is an idiot for allowing it. If he allows uncapped ramping at a field with rec players that is just plain stupid. You can argue the ramping thing all day so I am staying away from it. I also have never seen uncapped ramping at any tourney (I have seen it at scenario games though) in the world regardless of sanction or skill level. I will pm you about the field.

[Lohman446]

A field owner allowing its use is a risk to reward analysis. I think there wrong first of all but I understand where they are coming from. They have determined the risk of liability is worth the reward of extra paint sales. I think they have underestimated the liability side of the equation myself, but I understand where they are coming from.

New very cool news from Dave Youngblood himself @ matrixowners

The DM6 will have a suggested retail of $1399.95.

Efficiency: I was informed that the DM6 will supply a minimum of an additional 100 good shots.

Eye's: It is neat and simple. we inserted transparent plastic inserts into the eye hole cavity so that the eye pocket is filled and smooth to the bore. This prevents any debris or paint from interfering.

The rumor is true. We are producing the new DM6 frame for THE DM4. DM5 and PM6. The frame will be identical to the frame that comes standard on the DM6. They are in production now and should be available in three weeks. I think they will retail in the low $200 and it come complete with a board.

$200ish aint' bad for a dm6 gripframe including internals

yeah, i might think about getting one for the PM6 im buying. to have all the dm6 capabilities, but in a smaller and even lighter package.....cant wait

[magman007]

dm6 weighs less than the pm6, also you arent getting the self cleaning eyes, and a few other perks

[UTDragun]

Ive always wanted eyes with mini windshield wipers!!


Ive heard both yes and no for the frame fitting 05 protos, anyone know for sure?

[phantomhitman]

if you look at the pic i posted with just the frame itself it shows the part number for the pm5, so yes, it will fit.

dm6= 7oz lighter than dm5
pm6= 4oz lighter than pm5
pm5= 4oz lighter than dm5

pm6 is 1 oz lighter than a dm6. add the frame, and it gets even lighter. as for the eyes...im fairly mechanicaly inclined/ a tinker...might be able to make my own.

[phantomhitman]

Here is what it will come down to regardless
1-Do I have enough money for a dm6?
2-I guess not I will just get a dm5, do I have enough money for a dm5?
3-I guess not I will just get a pm6, do I have enough money for a pm6?
4-I guess not I will just get a pm5, do I have enough money for a dm4?
5-continue until you back to a gen-e dm3

If you do not think the extra $400-500 (for different size, weight, look, parts, etc) is worth a dm6 then do not get it. Do not say you I will get the cheaper one and start adding parts onto until I realize I spent more putting ups on the cheaper one trying to get the same features as the more expensive one. No hate, just love

[fullofpaint]

Doesn't really matter. Noone can shoot at its old cap anyway. But of course the hype will sucker so many people. "I'm getting a dm6 so i can dry fire at 40 cps!!!"

Oh I know that but you could with ramping :) not legal and no real point but kinda fun jsut too fool with

[UTDragun]

if you look at the pic i posted with just the frame itself it shows the part number for the pm5, so yes, it will fit.

any price rumors? will the led be in the middle of the grip(DM) instead of on the back(PM)?

[Skoad]

any price rumors?

read my post with the semi-fat quote in it, a few replies up


LED is on side and here are pics.

[Vex]

$200 for a DM6 grip frame? I think I'll try to retrofit one to my Mag for that price! *





*Disclaimer for all the morons out there: Yes, this is a joke. Thanks for killing any sense of humor I had left...

wrong actually, the dm6 has been quoted at 1.5 oz, where the pm6 has been quoted at 1.6.

With the frame, maybe, but in all reality, you are missing alot on the pm6. also, by the time you pruchase the new frame, and any other anemities you want to run the pm6 like the dm6, you will have spent more than you would have purchasing the dm6 flat out. not to mention, it will still be less efficient, and run at a higher pressure, and not have the self cleaning eyes, nor will they be available for purchase to my knowledge, because of the way they are assembled.
