After using the Proto Matrix marker, one thing becomes perfectly clear, the makers of Proto truly have a finger on the wants and needs of competitive tournament paintball players.  Proto guns were designed with the goal of providing top level performance at a reasonable price.  These guns are $1000+ markers sold for under $500.  If you’re looking for a high-end marker for a low-end price, Proto is the gun for you.

Compared to other competition paintball markers of the same price, Proto is far ahead of the pack when it comes to innovative design and technology.  Proto markers feature something called “boost forward” technology; this gives a cushioned push on the ball with a delayed bolt speed; which allows for an extremely high rate of fire and increased air efficiency. The Proto markers operate at 150 psi or better and shoot 20+ balls per second.

Like most competitive paintball marker producers, Proto is constantly researching and updating their lineup.  The 2010 Proto Rail PMR paintball gun features all new 3D milling and color coded seals for easier maintenance.  A new in-line air regulator (called the Hyper3) comes standard on this gun – this provides for a smoother velocity adjustment with non-slip grip rings.  The 2010 Proto rail also sports a sleek design, all aluminum body and fully adjustable trigger.
