Looks good to me. I bet it's gonna be just as annoying as the Ion after a while though.

I dunno. I'd like to revise my statement. The $4c price tag might deter the onslaught of newbs who want cheap electros. It may be a decent thing yet...

MSRP is $4c. I'm guessing Action Village will probably sell them ~$350.

Oh yeah. UL Frames will be available for the PMRs (Proto Matrix Rail), because that trigger looks crappy.

People say that the Ion trigger sucks too but I found it very easy to cap the board.

Common guys the trigger MATCHES the grip.  What more could you want?  Seriously though the trigger actually looks perfectly functional.  The angle is right and there's tons of room between it and the guard.

This gun looks complete other than the asa may not be on/off.

Looks awesome. I dont think we'll see an uprise in them, especially via n00bs. Looks like a well constructed gun. Hopefully I 'll get to shoot one at the field soon.

I just got done reading a bunch of garbage at PBN about the new proto.  I just reminded myself why I don't frequent PBN.  "Dude if it's $300.00 it will suck.  Dude if it costs $500.00 it will be a better gun."

PBN has a problem with marketing tactics, and anything that needs more than superficial thinking.

edit: only asks why one places oneself a pm7 or a dm7 now to buy should. think 

^from pbhub.de translated.  Very interesting point. 

 I love this shift in pricing.  It's what the market needs in order to grow/stay alive.  Even being "cheap" at $300.00 you can buy an actual and very nice rifle for that money.

On the homepage of pbhub there's a thumbnail of the eleven.  I thought you got the proto pic there.  You need a member ship to get the pic.
