Review:
I already have my DM7, with Orange Bolt and Virtue Board, so it took a while to buy another DYE.
But the design is really "cool" low profile, no eye-plate, actually, it is more differences from DM8 vs DM7 than DM7 vs DM6.
The gun is really fast, very acurate, and very light. However, I have tried with Dye barrel, SLY, and Stiffi (all are 16 inches), so the acuracy result are so great. It is a little easier to maintain compare to DM7, since there is no eye-plate. Self-cleaning eye pipe is doing quite a good job.
The only minor that I have pick it up will be on air-efficiency, which I fill up the air at 4000psi, I can shots around 4 - 5 pods. Then, I am still waiting for Orange to come out with the new bolt for DM8
Conclusion:
DM8 is another excellent piece of work out from DYE, it is really fits with my needs, even the price still quite high.
