I bought my DM6 with virtue for $350. Shoots great and looks great. Efficiency wise I get about 1200 from a 72/4500. Not too shabby for a spool valve. My DM6 came with a CP continuous flow plug so I didn't have to deal with the on/off. Great consistency and feels great in the hands. I would recommend for anyone looking to get a DM.

Cons: Maintanence
I bought my dm6 right when they came out for 1100. Now they are going for very cheap which is what gives them their awesome value.

Performance- DM6 performs great stock.After they are broken in and tuned right it has virtually no kick and is very easy on paint.My dm6 was also very accurate, the ultra light barrel is one my favorite barrels on the market. The trigger is very smooth and the board has all the modes you could need, but you must open up the grips to change the mode.

Looks- The dm6 was one my favorite looking markers i've ever owned.Its very sleek looking. The milling is pretty simple and keeps a clean look to the marker.

Feel- The DM6 comes stock with the ultralight frame which means you will either love it or hate it. I loved the feel of the UL frame. It feels like it molds to my hand. The dm6 is also pretty light; its not the lightest, but its definately ot heavy.

Maintanence- This gun does need to be lubed after EVERY pratice to keep it running at 100%. You can get by and skip a few, but i recommend you lube it as much as possible. Its really not that bad, but it became a task for me after awhile.

Reliability- My dm6 was for the most part a reliable gun to me. The only times it didnt shoot good for me was when i didnt lube it and maintain it properly.

Overall the dm6 is an awesome marker, and one of my favorites. They are going for very cheap so if you have some extra cash i would definately pick one up.

Accuracy: Dm6 is deadly accurate. pretty much all dm's are and the fact it comes with a 14 inch UL barrel is an A+++ cuz then ur pretty much hitt'n all target. i give it 10/10

Performance I cant complain... i used my dm6 in quite a few tourny's and it performed well in each one. I think main thing you take care of ur marker ur marker will take care of you. i give it 10/10

Cuts/Milling Well i got my dm when it first came out so my first thoughts were WOW!!!! its got nice smooth lines and compared to the dm3 i would say the milling has come a long way. i give it 9/10

Conclusion all in all i really love this gun and if i had a complaint it would only be about the lack of good air efficiency..other than that its a great marker.

well I have owned and shot just about everything,I would shoot a dm6 over any ego any daybc its so darn accurate.I owned a 07,08 ego and sl66 and nothing is as accurate as a dm,I switched to ego's but find myself always going back to dms.A dm6 is just as good as a 7 or 8 just a a few ounces heavier and efficent after a few mods .I play back sometimes and I can shoot 7-8 pods and still have 2k psi left in my 68/4500.I was getting 5 pods and a hopper off a 45/4500.However it is more maitainence then a ego and heavier.Maintence is just the bolt and if you have a leak its a easy fix just replace one of the bolt orings.Now I had egos with leaks and they say dms have alot of orings?Well try rebuilding a ego,you have tons of orings in the ego,little tiny ones too.I am not saying Egos are not good guns but if you play back you want the tight pattern when shooting or quiet sound when playing snake or 50 go with a dm6 and shoots the same as a dm8 or 7.

i have been playing for two years and had over 13 gun nows but the best investment on markers i made was buy my dm6. ibought my dm6 as my third gun and have had it since then and still use it today its a great value now because of the price and its realy the same thing as a dm7. Even on a bad weather day with bad paint it still shoots very nice and smooth and is very gnetle on paint. After mabe 9 casses you start to notice your effcienty has gone up to mabe 6-7 pods on a 68-45 tank.

ok so after owning an ion, the guy at my local store convinced me to buy a "real" gun. so first a saw a nice shocker, and a dm4. my decision was between these two guns. then.....at the top of the wall in the store, i saw this gun that looked much like the dm4? i didnt know much about guns back then, so i asked him what it was. a dm6. so i bought it. the first 6 months i considered my self still a noob just with a good gun. to me it shot amazingly. but now that i have advanced in my paintball "carrier" i can say this gun is truly amazing. ive shot 08 egos, 07 egos just in comparison. while the egos are nice guns, the dm series of guns is about equal to the ego line. they have there differences but both guns are sick.

PROS:
no kick. i dont care how much you tune your ego or whatever you cant beat a dm6. noise level, hey some people dont care, but i guess if your in the snake and no one knows your there a quiet marker can help. fast, as fast as any newer high end gun. as fast as your hopper will feed.

maintenance, everyone says its hard. i can relube my bolt in under 2 minutes. you just have to do it after everyday of play. alot of people say it is unreliable and leaks alot. well when i first got my gun, i wouldnt relube it after everyday of play. and i would get the occasional leak. now i do lube it everyday of play, and i havent gotten one leak. before i used to be scared to air up my gun on the first game of the day, with fear of it leaking. now i have no problem. moral of story....lube the gun, take care of it, it will take care of you.

CONS:
my one and only complaint about this gun is air efficiency. im not to sure how many shots i get off a 68/45 since my field only fills up to ~3800 psi. but all i know is it isn't that great. my buddies with egos would have to fill half as many times as me. my last compaint is value, thats why i gave it a 4 star. since dye (and eclipse) has the great idea of making a new marker every year, the value of an outdated dye marker goes down. i bought my gun for 700 in the april of 07 and this price was about right, i might have paid alittle too much. well now they are selling for about 450-500. im kinda mad about resale, but same goes with all marker name brands that makes new guns every year.

OVERALL:
for the price of bad efficiency, you get a quiet gun, no kick, awesome looks, and reliability. i think its worth it. if you want a cheap, used gun that can perform the same as a dm8, but you don't have 1400 bucks to shell out. buy this. i can almost guarantee it will shoot the same as a dm8, it just might not have the little bells and whistles, it will shoot the same.

Apperance
When I first got my DM6, it looked amazing. The feel of the ultralite frame was unbelieveable. I have never seen a more sexy gun.

Performance
The performance was kinda of bad at first. I heard from a lot of people you have problems at first. Mine leaked a lot down the bolt, sent it off to dye, they gave me a new bolt and everything has been good since then. This thing is pretty dang accurate. I have shot about every gun out there, and this thing is at the top of my list.

Reliability
As i said at the beginning of the performance, this thing gave me a lot of trouble at first, leaking all the time and having to replace o-rings after every play. But after I got it back from dye, this thing has been the most reliable gun in my opinion. I never have to worry if this thing is going to work when I take it to the field.

Value
Value= a lot, well for me anyway. I bought mine brand new from a local store. I think nowdays you can pick up a used one for around $250-$400, and that is pretty cheap for such an amazing gun.

Conclusion
In my point of view this is the best gun I have ever owned. A+++ for DYE

Fantastic gun. Really its amazing, its incredibly fast, super quiet and really accurate. Putting a virtue board in this thing makes it incredible. The gun is great, but the only thing that sucks about it is the maintenance. Its a pain in the a!# and theirs so many o-rings to deal with. Overall, great gun
