Review:
Ok the day i bought it i was soo exited because i hered all the great reviews from everyone on pb nation and then i knew this was the gun for me so when i got home i opend er up and read the manual 3 times then after setting the gun up i realized i had no air to i had to wait 3 days got it filled and couldnot wait i aired her up and took her outside first shooting the gun was a magical moment lol i couldnot belive how fast this gun was so after like 1 hopper and 2 pods my air ran out because my small tank soo i was mad and realized how much of a pig this gun really is the barell was very acurate, the trigger i belive its not the greatest (hate it) the feedneck there is no point in buyin a new one perfect the reg is a dye hyper inline reg and no need to get a new one and just so everyone knows with the stock asa when u take the tank off when thres still air in the tank you will have one shot left soo u can shoot it once without the tank just so u dont accedentally shoot someone lol
Conclusion:
I certainly recomend this gun to people who are looking for a great gun with a great price because not only is it a great price but a amazing gun thus i give it a 9

Review:
I am new to the Electronic markers. I am a old school player (automag) that likes scenario games much better than the new speed games. My son is getting into the sport so we got 2 PMR’s. I went with these instead of the Ions main reason was ease of disassembly. I have shot 6 cases of pant in mine and my son has done the same in his. I clean the guns after each use and it takes about 5 min each. I also use the cheapest paint at the field (Classic Paintball Ga..) We haven’t broke a ball yet. Both guns are very accurate, reliable and fast. I cant complain about a thing. The triggers are fine, the light weight plastic parts are strong and I don’t see a need to change a thing except. You need a on/off valve. This makes a big difference. The plastic back cap on the bolt is fine too. Just don’t over tighten it. Ours has never come lose.
After the first case of paint or so I set our velocity around 280 and haven’t moved it since.
The gun looks great. Reliable and light weight. I would recommend these to anyone. I know the EGO and the Dm7 are better guns but for the price they aren’t that much better. I have used both of them to test. PMR Buy it you will like it.
Conclusion:
Under 400 bucks cant beat it. In my opinion just as good as any 1200 dollar marker.

Review:
When I 1st picked up this gun I thought it was gonna be heavy and i was like holy **** this thing is light.When I shot it it was easy 2 get 2 get 10 walkin the trigger.The thing I didnt like is when I was trying 2 change the batterie the buttons would fall out and it would b hard 2 get them back in. I would get a new barell becuase this 1 is about 8inches i think.
Conclusion:
I would recomend this product if u want like the lightest gun out there right now I think it is and a really fast gun. Im giving it a 9 because of how u tighten the asa set it back 1 #

Review:
K so i opened up this gun after picking it up at badlands cuz my ion was pissing me off.
when i was going to test it i realized that the asa was crap so it needs to be replaced. The trigger at first was annoying its like wearing gloves cuz it kind of sticks 2 your fingers because it is coated in rubber.i started to actually play with the new trigger and it was ripping it was so fast and accurate with the new barrel. it is an awesome gun and it is so light when u run up and down the field its like carrying nothing.It also takes like 20 minutes to put the damn barrel in to many threads on it.The second time cleaning it the cap striped so i needed to get a new won which pissed me off
The bottom line is with some minor upgrades this gun is awesome if you was a high end gun but dont got lots of money on you this is the gun to get
Conclusion:
Buy this gun now stop reading and buy it

Review:
I bought this gun and was impressed with it's size and weight. When i took it to the field i was really excited to shoot it i took it to the chronograph and it wouldnt fire. I took it to the proshop and the guys said it sounds like a solinoid leak. I was pretty bummed to hear my brand new gun out of the box was leaking. I took it to the store where i bought it and they said they would take a look at it for me and let me know. The same night i got a call saying they fixed the leak but my board wasnt working....i couldnt believe it, he said it was only shooting 1 shot than not shooting. They had to send it back to dye and it has been 4 weeks and i have heard no word.
so my experience with this gun wasnt that great but it had a great first impression on me.
Conclusion:
I liked wat i saw before i took it to the field, dont get me wrong im sure this gun will kick ass when i get to shoot it and i will edit my rating after i do.

Recommended Upgrades:
None, because by the time you spend the money to upgrade it, you should have just bought a pm6 or pm7; unless you are upgrading the board.
Strengths:
It is similar to the ion, good gun for a cheap price, excellent performance,
Weaknesses:
Slightly heavy, single piece barrel, trigger, upgrade the board
Review:
The PMR is an excellent marker, giving the ion and the epiphany a run for their money, but it is still heavier, and doesnt shoot as consistant as an epiphany does. It looks sexy, feels sexy, and shoots pretty good... i would recommend this marker for a newbie getting into the sport or for somebody who cant afford a $1000 gun but still needs pretty decent marker.

Review:
i bought this gun a week ago and i bought a new trigger, first thing i notice is the fact that the trigger is too big to take out so i took out the trigger frame, and as im doing that the board falls out along with the buttons, that is no problem for me but for someone else it may be a problem, then one i get it all fixed and the board back in we go shoot it and the ROF is set really low, not a big fix, but its just annoying, then we go to the field the next day and take the grip off to fix our asa just to find that the battery wires snapped.
Conclusion:
A decent gun for the price, but if youre looking for a great gun this isnt the one, i give it a five
