like the title says i'm thinkin about buyin an ND timmy, a lot of the guys at my field recommend it but than the other guys are tellin me to get a dm4, i personally would rather have a timmy but could you guys tell me why I would make a good choice goin with the timmy.

PS sorry if this has been asked before, i looked 4 pages back and didn't see anything on it.

If you'd rather have a timmy does it make a difference what THEY want.

**oCRAZYSPRAYERo** · August 31st, 08:34 PM

good point, but performancewise? which one would be better? (kind of an open question)

**fox5100** · September 1st, 11:18 AM

At this lvl of gun its really preference. Have you held a dm4, if not go hold one and see which one you like more. The dm4 gets less shots per tank but what i have heard from most people is that is more accurate. Personally i have shot both and they are the same for accuracy. The reason might be because the stock barrel on a dm4 is better then what comes on a timmy. Maintenance wise they are the same, lube before you go out and play or every 2000-3000 shots depending on how well you like to take care of your gun. If you dont like the feel of the gun it will most likely stop you from ripping on it. So go to your local shop or a friend that has one and shot it. If you dont like how it feels you wont be happy with it.

like fox said its all preference but little advise if you gonna get the dm4 (i would go for nd timmy) i would wait till after world cup for the dm5... its soposed to be same price. but try to shoot em both.

**OLD FART** · September 3rd, 01:26 PM

I shot the DM4 the weekend before I bought my a-bomb. I did not like it.in my opinion the timmy is much more accurate. I heard some people are having some probs with DM4 but the DM5 is probably goin' to kick butt!

DM4 is a great gun. I'd rather have a Timmy. At the field that I go to, we've had about 5 DM4's where the boards have shorted, and they've had to be sent back to Dye. The Timmy's reliability is probably the highest of all markers. Plus, they're fast and light. Now, if you're willing to wait a few months to decide, try out a DM5 and see which is right for you.

both great guns but if i was u i would save money untill the DM5 comes out that gun is prolly gonna rule but if u cant wait to get a gun i would get the timmy

**BAURblades** · September 8th, 11:51 AM

timmy is easier to clean, and more efficient. the dm4 will have less kik, most of the time (gun to gun), stock, the ND will shoot faster, but if u get a xsf chip in the dm4, both will be plenty fast. i say ND, plus i think the ND looks better, and has slightly better resale.

**who-tagged-me** · September 10th, 07:33 PM

I think timmy r great i just got a timmy dragon and its light,(big help when ur running all over the place) 2.3lbs plus its pretty darn accurate. i would highly recommend it

Nope, Vikings & Excals are the most reliable period

Anyways, all it really comes down to is personal preference. Both those guns are great, both are light, both rip, both look great. All it really comes down to is what you like. Don't have people talk you into getting a gun, get the one you want. Before you make your purchase i would suggest looking around for the best deal.

^true that! viks > all in reliability

**DaBluedevil** · September 11th, 03:29 PM

Shoot both. Decide. Just remember it's your money, not theirs or ours.

Keep in mind the DM4 do have problems with the membrane pads, but usually do have less kick, but do have more orings and such.
Timmys have worse quality control, but if you get one through a local store you should be fine.

If I was you I would get a timmy but i'm not you so do what you want.

**lastonestanding** · September 14th, 02:09 AM

i dont like the dm4, i like the older trixes, just my pref though, the dm3(three) rocks, has lcd, eyes, and a fast board with a stock nice barrel, a nice thing is that even with out eyes the trix can be set up to bounce off paint, i dont think i've hear of a timmy bouncing on paint( dont get in a fizzle over that comment, i dont keep an ear open for it either)

**slim** · September 14th, 05:25 AM

I owned a DM4 for a while and absolutely loved the gun. It makes a Timmy look like a toy but let me tell you this, the Timmy is a much more user friendly gun than nearly any other gun out there. Rebuilding the regs is easier and the internals are a little less tricky. However, that’s not to say that the DM4 was difficult. The Timmy was just easier. I had the Tadao chip in my DM4 and it made my Timmy feel slow but after my latest trigger mod to my Empire, the Timmy is screemin’. It’s all preference man and for me, I have gone back to the Timmy but if I have a chance to I would go back and forth with the DM4 since it’s a sick gat that mows just as hard as any other high-end gun. Oh, and I never had any problems with my DM4 so I have no idea what others are talking about.
