DM6

Dye Matrix 2006

Positives of DM6:
This gun is amazingly quiet, and if properly tuned has virtually no kick. This gun requires no upgrades out of the box. The service from Dye is great with these, 9 times out of ten if you just need a part they will send it to you free of charge. The new improved solenoid allows you to shoot even faster than previous Dye Matrixes. The qualities of the parts are top of the line. The Ultralite frame is a great frame, the HUD or heads up display is a great feature that lets you keep your head in the game. The weight of this marker is nearly nothing compared to most guns around two pounds it weighs anything. Self cleaning eyes are a great feature if they work (see below)

– Quiet
– Little kick
– Good to go
– Great service
– Fast
– Great parts
– Ultralite frame

Cons of DM6:
This gun is fairly inefficient, sometime as little as a hopper and 2 pods is gotten from a 45/45. To fix this you have to do modifications to the bolt A.K.A. top hat mod and 530 mod. In the first run of DM6’s there were eye problems with the self cleaning eyes falling into the breech however Dye’s great service has fixed any sent in for free. The on/off can be uncomfortable depending on how you hold your marker.

– Inefficient
– 1st Generation eyes
– On/Off placement

My Experience:
I had previously owned a DM5 so I knew that my marker was going to be inefficient so immediately I did the 530 and top hat mod. I was amazed at how good the trigger felt compared to other matrix’s the roller bearing made it very smooth and light. The on/off is in the same place as the DM5 so it would get in the way of my thumb at times. I did not think Dye could make a gun with less kick than their previous models but for some reason this marker has the least kick I have ever felt. I was amazed at this gun.

Why you should get this:
This is a top of the line marker and will perform like one. The price tag is a little high but well worth it, the marker is a great addition to Dye’s lineup. The reduced weight and size will give you the edge you need to shoot, kill, win.
