I have a pm6 black/red red diamond clear empire reloader b hopper with a dye stubby
Recommended Upgrades:
the pm6 needs a longer barrel
Strengths:
Its fast accurate light small and looks great
Weaknesses:
There is no problem just you need a longer barrel
Review:
This gun rips out of the box. I got it and its nice. I wayed it at the local shop and its 4 grams heaver than an eclipse ego! Thats light! The first time i used it, it ripped. Not 1 ball chopped. Ive used it every weakend on crap for paint and it shoots great. After evvery day i clean it & its so simple. All you do is take the bolt out, lube it, put it back in, then wipe off all the paint on it. thats it.
Conclusion:
Buy this gun. It may look expencive but, its worth it. If you want a gun that rips,looks great,and is light, this is the gun you need
Some people use a 16" to press up against bunkers and still shoot with out getting shoot. You cant do it with a 12". I see front people even use 16". And length doesn't affect accuracy.
yeah. I agree with The asphalt dragon guy. Besides a shorter barrel is lighter thatn a longer one. (not by much, but still) a longer barrel will be more accurate, but that's when comparing say a 9 inch to an 18 inch. It wont make a noticable difference when comparing 12 to 14.
Length has little to no effect on performance, as proved by various studies. The first eight inches are all that matters, anything after that is either for looks or to give you some length to get into bunkers.
i just like 14in because it has a nicer feel to it and helps a little with my aiming while im looking down the gun. Accuracy is not affected by length at this point. watever works better for you is because you like the feel of that more, the accuracy is not changing.

The proto barrel has a large bore. Going with a sizer system (freak, pipe, switch, etc.) will help efficiency as well as accuracy. The paintball won't be rolling around inside the first few inches of the barrel when it is shot. It will stay true to the center of the barrel and most of the air will be used to push the paintball (efficiency), not leaking around it. The 14" barrels have the advantage of "creasing" a bunker without exposing the player/gun.
An Ultralite will of course be an improvement, as will boresizing as fishhead stated. Better efficiency as well, as less gas will escape around the edges of the ball, allowing you to decrease velocity, using less gas, etc. Not anything significant, but knowing your paint is matched correctly is comforting. :)
i play 2 diferent ways:
1: i go to a corner bunker and slowly move up using as much paint as i can (i have a 16 inch stiffi and it helps a lot with sticking to the bunker)
2: i run flat out to the 50 and still shoot like crazy at everything and the stiffi still works fine (im 15 so im cinda small and realy fast so i can make the 50 almost every time)
but anyways, a the size of the barell realy dosent make a huge diference in performance, the main diference is personal preference and mobility

I actually gave Dye an e-mail and they say the proto barrel is the same as an ultralite, but LIGHTER!
Im like i-man19 except i dont shoot a lot, I play conservatively (2 bags a day). I dont rain paint but i do shoot little 5-ball spread shots and bunker people a lot
