My friend can get me a deal on stock Proto Trix which I am hoping will be around 700 or 650$. I have an ION right now and want to upgrade since I am now playing tournaments like summer series, XPSL, and NPPL this year. I have heard the proto gets some kick but its more effecient and lighter than the dm4 and dm5. Can you guys give me some statistics of the proto over an ion like it's wieght, speed ( know its uncapped but what is the usual speed people can get ), what ups there are, what ups are necesary, etc. thank you!

The Proto is the best gun for the price. It will shoot pretty much the same as a DM5, just a little bit more kick. A Proto can shoot 24 bps. I think that they weight 2.4 pounds, I'm not sure on that though.

Nice guns...Id buy one, and can get them for 600...800 with pred code...but Im gonna get an ion

***freddieb321@hot*** · June 27th, 04:57 PM

get it

Protos are great guns. I've shot both DM4's and Protos and they both shoot excellent. Either get a New proto or an upped DM4 for like 700ish.

I am definately looking into the proto trix. Are there many problems because I woulnd't have a backup gun...except an evil pimp but thats a last resort, lol.

Very reliable. Keep your bolt lubed and you'll be fine. Simple guns.

I'm lookin at em too. Is the stock feedneck djustable or no? if not i'll buy a ccm for it

**butterjuice** · June 28th, 09:54 AM

i like my Proto a lot and it is very easy for me to play up front with. It is very light and can shoot as fast as your hopper can feed and as fast as your fingers can move. but u need to get a new feedneck b/c the stock one isn't good b/c it doesn't fit my Halo

get one, u won't regret it

When I held my friends at a tourny I went to it hada full halo and tank attached and it was very unbalanced and back heavy, are they all this way or what?

**butterjuice** · June 28th, 10:12 AM

mines not. It depends, what size tank does he have ? does he have ne kind of drop, was the hopper full ? etc....mine feels fine, it is centered fairly well

**Presidente** · June 28th, 10:44 AM

probably bc the gun's so light and the tanks so heavy

what tank you got? i have 68/4500

thats odd... mines not like that at all actually mine is very balanced because the halo is as long as the gun it balances out nicely.

Im not supposed to tell really but oh well, lol.

My friend knows the guys from San Deigo Legacy, so he can get any matrix for half off.

**chromekilla** · July 7th, 01:33 PM

Chances are your not going to get the gun for that price.

Teams with sponsors cant get unlimited amounts of guns for super cheap, either the team is limited to the # of guns they can get at price during a season, or they limit the players.

99.98% of the time someone is talking about getting a deal because thier friend knows someone who knows someone who knows dave youngblood is never going to get the gun
