thats not padding, its creative stitching! you know just fold some material over it self a few times in rows, and stitch it. :)

Ah right. I must have been a crazy man to have though that.

Am I the only one who saw Empire and I believe another brand name, jerseys that had obvious padding on the chest? I know we (as a paintball community) let Dye start it with the crazy sholder and forearm padding but freakin' chest padding just seems to be a slap in the face of the supposed "no extra padding" rule.

That padding is not unnecessary - you know how bad it hurts doing all those superman slides to wipe hits of your chest?

I'm liking the idea of the eye covers internally, I think that is a nice improvement.

Nice enough that I'm going to drop my PM5 and buy a DM6? No... but nice idea.

I like the idea of a noid to address the cap of 24BPS

Would I ever use it? No. Do I like the theoretical use of it enough to buy a DM6? No.

Good ideas, the same with efficiecny, I am not going to debate that they are improvements. How much those improvements are worth is a matter of personal opinion, its not worth it to me, but I still don't say there nothing either.

good call, heres mine

well, I dont know about you, but I cant remember the last time I chopped paint with my proto. The dm6 eyes clean themselves? cool. Will I ever use the self cleaning eyes? prob not. Can I play a tournament game with a 45/45 with my pm5 and run out of air? no. Will I ever outshoot my pm5? no, plus for tourneys im capped at 15 anyway. Is it too much to carry around? of course not, im not a pussy. I slang with my warp with 91ci tank and halo. Cant handle the weight? grow up or hit the weights. So do I have any incentive to sell my old model for a new one? no

well maybe they decided that if it hit the padding and bounced instead of breaking you wouldnt need to superman it. They are just looking out for ya.

You've got a good point there. Perhaps they could come up with something for hoppers. I've had a hell of a time wiping those and those pesky balls just don't seem to bounce off well enough.

does anybody have any further info on the universal was boards

like will it be able to handle alot of volts or amps?

what about grease and derbis?

why should you run out of air on a 45/45


you must agree that a 45/45 is more comfortable than a 91 ci tank

and when you are paying that much for a gun, you want it to be comfy, perform, and look good. so why rag on something that seems to have adressed most, if not all of these issues?

He's not ragging on it - he's making the same observation I am. Our PM5's fit everything we need very very well - although the DM6 may have advantages, for us, they are not worth the price tag.

Stop trying to get this back on topic.

I think all that is left is the jt gear and the private label guns, other than that most everything has been posted.

Nicely put.

And what about grease and debris? If you maintain your gun like your supposed to, you shouldnt have to worry about it.

Anyone seen the 250$ halos on bradyspaintball.com?

1. And what about grease and debris? If you maintain your gun like your supposed to, you shouldnt have to worry about it.

2. You claim that the dm6 is better because its more efficent, but if both guns still make it on a 45/45 what is the real advantage to having better efficiency?

3. Its preference, once again, I love it on my warp and 9" drop.
