DM5 owners - opinions

Dont use the on/off on the gun, it can start leaking after a while and also doesnt bleed the air from your inline reg.

I do not use my on-off for the simple fact that they have a tendancy of getting nicked and start leaking. Then again my teammate used his for his dm4 for over a year and didnt have an issue. I would not recomend not using it unless you have time to change that oring if it does go bad.

I've been known to tech my own guns so I think I'll be okay when it comes to working on the gun. I'm sure I'll take the thing apart before I take it out and shoot it.

As far as tanks to use on the gun... since operating pressure of the gun is around 130psi - I'm guessing - is everyone using a LP output tank or is anyone getting away with an 800psi preset. I'm doubting it so I think I could just get away with modding one of my Flatlines for LP output... Just checking.

HP works just fine , don't give it a second thought.

And teching them is a piece of cake , only one moving part , 2 simple regs that rarely need any kind of service and only a couple of o-rings that ever where out and are easily diagnosed.

leaks out the front, bolt or tophat oring
leaks out the back, small #13 oring on the back stem

very easy to maintain, just got to know what to look for. even the trix forum over at pbnation is friendly enough to help you solve problems.
