Proto Matrix Rail Overview -- By Richard




The Proto Matrix Rail came out onto the market last year before the Holiday Season and has proved that it is a gun that can keep up with the best with a more affordable price range.

With the price recently being lowered to $249.95 the Rail has become even more affordable then ever even for the starting player.

The rail comes stock with Anti-Chop eyes to allow it to shoot at the remarkable speeds (29 balls per second) it does without chopping. The stock board features Semi-Auto, PSP tournament mode, and Millennium Mode ramping, giving you the options of how you want to play. Many major board companies including Virtue and Predator make upgrade boards that can be programmed custom for many more modes.

The stock trigger on the Rail is made of a rubber like composite and its very comfortable to shoot. If the stock trigger isn’t your thing though there are many upgrade options from Proto, and CP for metal triggers. Dye also offers an Ultralite trigger frame which really puts the Rail into the high end range providing one of the most comfortable and feature rich grips available.

The Hyper 2 regulator that the Rail comes stock with is one of the most consistent regulators out on the market today. Consistent and reliable the Hyper 2 gives you the same velocity for each shot every time.

For bodies the Rail comes in four different colors: Red, Blue, Olive, and Black. All colors are a beautiful dust finish and are accented by silver Proto Jewel logos. The feed neck on top of the Rail is a Allen wrench adjustable collar that provides a really snug fit for a variety of hoppers, Upgraded feed necksare also available from Proto as well as any other feed neck with Matrix threads. The rail comes standard with an ASA bottom line but affordable options are available from Proto to turn it into an On/Off.

The Rail is a great option if your looking in the $200 price range for a marker. Comparable to the Ion with all the that are available its really easy to make the rail “You”. Being one of the fastest markers in that price range and the great consistency of its performance that is backed by Proto’s great customer service consider the rail if you’re looking for an upgrade from your current set up or even looking to get into the sport.
