I am shopping for a new speedball gun. I am in Smart Parts territory so I'll have to travel to see the Dye line. I don't know anybody that has one yet that I could try. If anybody does here, I want to know if it is actually all they claim. I've read up on them but I need the inside info. Actual BPS,Problems,Maint. hassels, ect..... Alternate is a Shocker which I am very familiar with. Thanks Edited by Liquid3 |

Go for the DM4, save yourself some cash and get something thats just a tad heavier, but just as good. Then spend that money on a tadao 5 chip with musashi 3 and rip faces off. All you really have to do is lube it after every 2 cases or so, and it should be fine for a long time. Use Slick Honey for this.
Actual BPS (with musashi 3) = 22BPS+ if a loader can keep up. Problems = Keep it lubed and you should be fine. Maintenance = Lube it after 2 cases or so. Hassels = Spending too much on paint. |

Problem with that is I'm planning on having it until it dies ,so I wanted to get DM5 to get ahead of the game as much as possible. They say it does 23BPS stock and you know next year they'll have a board for it too. Money is not a prob.(big tax return) Everybody is saying it's smaller,lighter,faster, and smarter than the DM4. I just wanted the inside skinny on it.

IMO get a Sonic borg it will shot as fast as you can boards caped at
35bps. It's lighter (1.9pds),smaller, and more gas efficient. No
upgrades needed it comes with the best already. I had a chance to shot
a DM5 a couple weekend I was disipointed sp? It felf just like a dm4 it
was only a tad bit smaller and lighter than a DM4 efficiency still
sucked. The Sonic is also very easy to mantain you only need to lube it
every 15-20 cases. I'm ot saying the DM5 sucks but look into the Sonic
borg. Any questions about it let me know.

Dude that thing is $2000. Money isn't a big prob. but for that much money. Why don't I see more of them around. I just answered my question with that statement didn't I? There is nowhere even close to me that carries them. I won't buy without tring it. You can ship me your's to try out. I'll send it back, I promise

I still say if youre looking at the DM's, the 4 is the way to go. My friend bought a 5 and he was wishing he saved the extra hundred and got the 4... The tadao with musashi chip is already out for the dm5, its the same software as the dm4's meaning it will shoot the same speed, which is still faster then you can pull the trigger.
Other guns to look into: -Cyborg (stock is fine...) -Egos -05 Speeds -Timmys (i would suggest staying away from them, but if you like the feel, then whatever...) -Vikings or Excaliburs -Predator 2'd angels -Vision shockers (not as bad as people say but not my cup of tea) |

LOL it's not $2000 it's 1250. The reason you don't see too many Sonics
around is because it's not a widly know marker which does not make it
bad, people generaly want the marker every one else has Macdev has yet
to hit it big in the US there more popular over in europe with pro team
ignition using them. Macdev will make it big in the US it will just
take time. It out preformes nearly marker at my field 2200+ shots off a
71/4500psi +3-3 over the chrono and it's not even broken in yet! First
time using it no trigger adjustments I hit 17bps over the chrono. I can
rip even faster with it now.The Stock barrel is great, Comes with a
clamping feedneck,nice trigg, and alot other things. Where are you
located? I could direct you to a macdev dealer. I'm like you I had to
try it out before i got one I shot one at the world cup.

If it was euros it would be a number LESS than the price in american dollars, not greater than.

I agree. The DM4 is cheaper and just as good as the DM5. There isn't really a HUGE difference between the two guns. |

I thought the same thing.. when i had a dm4. Then i shot the dm5 at the cup and i guess being a matrix owner i was wow`d. I aggree there isnt a HUGE difference but if you have the money go for the dm5, TO ME all those small changes did make it a better gun. |

I REALLY hope you got a good deal on it... How much did you spend? Over 1200 and you should have looked harder.
