New from Proto for 2008 - the Proto Matrix 8.

Proto markers are famed for their quality, meticulous engineering and impeccable design. Their products are stylish as well as functional and they always manage to combine "quality" with "cool". The Proto Matrix 8 (PM8) has been developed to now include the ergonomically designed 'Ultralite' frame as standard. The hourglass shape allows for maximum control and comfort.

The integrated display alerts you to the status of the marker and the new, smaller and lighter, Hyper3 in-line air regulator comes fitted as standard. The new regulator provides higher flow, more consistency, better grip and smoother velocity adjustment. The LPR has been reduced in size and is now vertically adjustable. The bolt kit operating pressure has been reduced by more than 10%, increasing the number of shots you will get from each tank of air.

The full list of features is impressive:

Adjustable locking feed neck

Matching 2-piece Proto barrel

Self-cleaning anti-chop break beam eye system

Compact and lightweight body styling

More than 10% lower operating pressure

Smaller LPR, now with vertical adjustment

Adjustable trigger sensitivity and rate of fire

New Hyper3 in-line air regulator

'Ultralite' ergonomic 45-degree grip frame

Four tournament mode programmable

Proto on/off bottom line
