Yea my mirror is dirty, what of it? 
My UL'D Dust Blue Shocktech DM5 
The critical trigger is kind of weird, but I guess I'll get used to it. I wish I could give more pics but I can't find my camera charger. Edit: Updated with better pics =P |

Nice looking gun. Shocktech bodies are actually the only
one's I like, aside from DM3s. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

i lean a little more towards the shockteck style bodies, they keep the classic look of the matrix and give it subtle modern tweaks. -------------

Looks like a massive version of the DM9 :P ... Well, I think atleast the milling on the back does. |

| Took it out for a test run today, shot awesome. It's a bit of a gas hog, but it shoots pretty accurately. |

I think Styro is being sarcastic and wondering why I didn't just buy a DM9. Reason being I always liked the milling on Shocktech's products, and really wanted this marker when it came out. Granted, I had no money at the time, but I was able to pick it up for $450 on mcarterbrown, so I'm pretty satisfied with my purchase

Actually, I wasn't. I don't play paintball anymore because all of the local fields closed and the closest one is over an hours drive away. I had no idea they made one every year. By the way, I've always liked the Shocktech DMs. Yours is no exception. ------------- X |

| My mistake. Funny story, I left it in my trunk on accident and the O-Rings on the spool valve expanded. GG. Hopefully I have some spares. Never doing that again. |

| Fixed the O-Rings, shoots great. Just ordered a Tadao Mikko Huttenen Yakuza board, so I'll be dropping that in this weekend. More pics to come. |

Shocketech gats look awesome, and the DM series are nice guns in general.
Sweet buy. That is a sexy blue. ------------- BU Engineering 2012 |

Shocktech is still around, but they haven't done a real custom mill job since the Dm5, sans a new reg for each year's gun. It's just laser work now.
