    DmC

    What ever happened to these? IMO they are the most attractive looking Matrix's but they never seemed to really take off. Does anyone have one of these? What do you think of it? Why do you think they never really made it?

    They were sandwiched between the DM5 and DM6, a test at midseason release (I assume there was a reason), and priced kinda high. Never really got hyped like most Dye products. They used a different board from what I understand (though I very much could be wrong here). Too many things went against them...

      i had one, and it was a great gun. the reason they never took off was the fact that it offered no performance benefit over the dm5, and was only an oz. lighter. Also, it isnt very customizable, cannot be re annodized. I loved mine, and if you like the looks, go for it, but if you want performance, well then spend the money on the dm6. I <3 mine :)

          Hate to tell you this but Dave could pee in a cup and I think you would call it the worlds greatest energy drink :)

              There out there , it WAS a limited production marker and limited in production it was.

              Had one for a day , got a rediculous offer for it so now I have 2 DM5s instead. :)

              Same as every other DM5.

              High cost , no gain....Few color options w/ no possiblity of change...Association to 'other' plastic markers prolly didn't help either.

                  The DMC wasnt a limited run gun.. They still make them and there cheap to boot, the store I work for is selling them at around 920. They also have other colors now.. Red , silver , blue , yellow , olive , and pewter I think.

                  The funny part is there actually heavier than a stock PM5

                    Sure they were , less than 10% of all DM's produced in '05 were DMC....I'd call that limited. They were run on a significantly smaller scale.


                    And they were always available in those colors....when in stock.

                    And available DM5s are retailing for $899 at many places currently.

                        He didn't say pink. :)

                        Only one I don't recall way back was olive so that's probably true tho.

                          When Magman says something about Dye I don't question it. I would be scared to see his room but I am betting it looks like a stalkers with all sorts of posters and articles about Dye.

                            I said he's probably right about the olive. :)

                            And that Jackel never mentioned Pink so I wasn't arguing that either.

                            I've been a Dye dealer for like ever so I'm pretty aware of what they sell too.
