Barrel...it's not too bad but almost every marker needs a barrel. Trigger, I think a UL frame will be pointless unless you are dying for one. Nothing is really out yet so idk :(
Strengths:
-Pretty freakin fast for the price
-CHEAP!!!
-Basically a PM7(seriously)
-NO LPR
Weaknesses:
Trigger has some side-to-side movement.
Nothing too crazy though
Review:
Ok seriously this marker is pretty freakin wicked. I got about a hopper and 8 pods off of a 45/45 stubby with no chops and on old ass paint. It shoots the exact same as my DM6 with the ul and better detents. PSP mode works just fine and rips. I am glad i picked one up cuz now I can sell my DM6. I know it sounds sketchy but I have been doing this for a long time and can tell you that I have NEVER seen a mid-level marker be able to keep up with alomst every High-end maker out-of-the-box. The new bolt is very similar to the dm and proto bolts and will be farmiliar to anyone that has had one. The miling and anno is ok... its not the best but hey I care about performance so...
Conclusion:
I would recommend this marker to ANYONE. Why spend two to three times the amount for something that willdo the same thing? I am sticking with this marker as long as I dont have any problems with it.

i have a low pressure crossfire 68/45 and i get more then that

yep there is not ramping but psp and millunim mode and eyes are great

i have to agree with midman112, i have been shooting matrices of all types since they came out. i have yet to see any of them get more than 5 pods plus a hopper on a 45/45 much less 8 pods. i just pruchased a PMR and get about 4 pods and hopper with 45/45. it has not yet been fine tuned, but 8 pods and a hopper, WOW...share your settings so we all can shoot more paint and spend less time in the air line!!!

it can shoot thirty. in no way is that a step backward

accuracy is determined on paint-to-barrel match, and any gun can shoot 250fps, since you seem very new to the sport, i would not recommend getting a gun in this range unless you know how to take good care of it and how it works, and how to fix it. i would start with somethin a little lower end.

quote:Originally posted by edd It does not have a ramping board. But im sure just like the PM6, you could easily walk it 15+. The trigger is not like the other PM and DM sseries, its made out of lightweight materials just like parts of the body are.
Here are the deatails incase no one ses them on the regular PMR page.
* Black single piece Proto barrel
* Hyper2 inline air regulator
* Anti-chop eye system
* Composite eyeplate
* 150psi operating pressure with Boost Forward technology
* Continuous three-dimensional contoured body design
* Compact and lightweight body styling
* Proto dual-durometer sticky grip
* LED program control
* Dual-durometer composite ergonomic 45 grip frame
* Re-engineered 1 piece bolt system
* Adjustable dual-durometer trigger sensitivity and rate of fire
* Stamped metal insert logo
* PMR airport
* Adjustable locking dual-durometer feed neck
It ramps thats what psp mode does. Trust me i have one currently on 15bps ramping.
This PMR does have ramping. When programming the board you can choose between Semi, PSP (Ramping), Millennium, and another mode not listed in the manual (4 trigger pulls and it goes to full auto.
Uses autococker barrels.
The gun rocks. Only upgrades I will be doing is probably a good barrel, ultralite trigger.
im having some trouble congiguring mine and i cant seem to find the problem... ive got and evo II (19bps) and it just wont shoot up to speed seems like it just shoots slower than what it can really do. What do you suggest?

I completely agree dude, my first gun was a Spyder Victor 2, I now have an up'd Ion and am getting a pmr. But I STILL have my Victor 2, and I've been playing for 4 years. The key in paintball is to work ur way up.
