I’ve really been looking forward to these new markers. Let’s take a look!
Here’s what I found:
The new 2010 DM Series (shown in Black/Graphite Dust) continues the tradition of being one of the lightest, smallest, fastest and certainly the most accurate of paintball markers in the world. Our one-piece Fuse™ bolt system operates at 145psi with a shorter flow path, resulting in a shorter overall length. The low operating pressure provides smooth operating performance with minimal shot bounce and noise. The 2010 DM Series features a low-maintenance internal patent-pending Eye Pipe anti-chop sensing system that is self cleaning, providing trouble free high rates of fire. Durable and super-flexible detents offer supreme tenderness to the most brittle of paint. The Reach Trigger allows the trigger’s reach and rake to be fully adjusted by the user for ultimate individual ergonomic comfort. Weighing in at 1.9lbs, the 2010 DM Series is lighter than it’s predecessor the DM9. All of these innovations, coupled with new 3D body styling and standard features like the patent pending Ultralite frame, Ultralite Sticky3™ grip, two piece 14” Ultralite barrel, cam lock feed neck, and cast aluminum inset DYE logo, it’s easy to see why the 2010 DM Series is “The Choice of Champions”.

My Take:
01: Ultralite Barrel
The industry standard for accuracy, the 2010 DM Series comes stock with the Ultralite™ 14 inch barrel.
Me: Nothing new here. These barrels are extremely accurate. As much as I love the ultralite barrel, I’d like to see more innovation. If a different material were used for the barrel it could cut down production costs massively and make these guns available to a much bigger audience.
02 Fuse™ Bolt
The removable one-piece Fuse™ bolt system operates at 145psi with a shorter flow path resulting in better efficiency. Large front and rear bumpers used in the Fuse™ bolt, offer greater reliability and smooth shooting.
Me: Who doesn’t like better efficiency?
03 Internal LPR
The miniature modular internal LPR provides more efficient shot consistency. It allows the user to optimize efficiency and reduce kick.
Me: I hate hate hate when guns have a bad kick. The internal LPR feature is a wonderful addition.
04 Pro-Performance Detents
Durable and super-flexible detents offer supreme tenderness to the most brittle of paint. Flex-spring geometry ensures that balls will not double feed into the breech.
Me: Nice. I hate it when guns don’t have detents. Nobody likes a barrel full of paint.
05 No Eyeplates
The 2010 DM Series features a low-maintenance internal patent-pending Eye Pipe anti-chop sensing system that is self cleaning, providing trouble free high rates of fire.
Me: This one is interesting. It’s kind of a like the new-age detent. I like it.
06 Ultralite
Weighing in at 1.9 lbs., the 2010 DM Series is lighter than it’s predecessor the DM9.
Me: Awesome! Faster running, easier transportation.
07 Color Coded O-Rings
Makes it easier to perform regular, scheduled maintenance of your Fuse™ Bolt system.
Me: Good for a novice, I guess?
08 Ultralite Reach Trigger
Trigger roller bearing inserts give the trigger stability and a smooth swing return. The externally adjustable design allows you to limit the travel of the trigger and spring tension without removing the grip frame or Sticky3 grip. Trigger Reach Adjustment is a first in the painbtall industry, which allows the user to fully customize the trigger for ultimate shooting capability.
Me: I like customization. This is a very welcomed addition.
09 UL Grip Frame
The 2010 DM Series is the proud owner of the world’s lightest, most compact and comfortable 45 grip frame available. The patent-pending hour-glass design allows for a sleeker profile, while heads-up display light alert you to the status of your gun, without having to take your eyes off the game.
Me: It doesn’t get much better than this. Comfortable grip, and a HUD alert all in one.
10 LED Control
High intensity LED provides identification to program functions. The 2010 DM Series features our unique heads-up display light which alerts you to the status of your gun, while still being able to focus on the game.
Me: Same as the last one. I like that you can control the LED settings though.

Me: Two words: Sticky Grip!
13 Cam Lock Feed Neck
Low profile locking feed port with adjustable cam lock neck allows you to use your choice of hopper and secure it firmly to the 2010 DM Series without the use of tools.
Me: I really like this feature. Having my own choice of hopper is amazing. I won’t have to go out and waste money on one when I already have a perfectly good one. Also, the implementation of a tool-less design is great.
14 Low Pressure
The low 145 psi operating pressure provides smooth operating performance with minimal shot bounce and noise.
Me: 145 psi seems a bit low, but I’ll have to test it out for myself to see how it really performs. Low noise is welcomed.
15 Ultralite Sticky3™
Ultralite Sticky3™ grip is standard and provides an anatomically correct fit to your hand. It is co-molded with a tacky rubber grip and hard plastic under-frame. The Hyper3™ also features the same tacky rubber.
