The New Dye NT
How’s this for news? Dye surprised the media last week by announcing and promo’ing their new paintball gun for 2010, the Dye NT.
Ok, let’s clarify a few things before I continue. Dye has been gaining corporate fame for the last 6 years through their Matrix gun line (i.e. DM4, DM5, DM6…etc). It began with the Matrix LED, which quickly evolved into the 2003 Matrix LCD (guess what year that was in?). The following year, the DM4 was released by Dye. This gun had a HUGE impact on the high-end gun market, as it introduced many new mechanical and electronic advances in the sport. As you can probably tell, Dye stuck with their Matrix line for a long time… until today.
Apparently, Dye is “hanging up” the Matrix line – or, at least the name. Dye has once again made the NT their smallest, lightest marker to date.
“A three year culmination of engineering and design, creating the most advanced paintball gun ever made. The Dye NT takes accuracy, air efficiency, design and style to a new standard by setting a benchmark for all others to follow. The Dye NT is the Choice of Champions.” -Dye
I think it’s a good move by Dye. While it has nothing to say about the gun’s performance, I was simply getting tired of hearing about Dye Matrices. As a paintballer, you would never hear: “What kind of Dye gun do you have?” It was always: “What year Matrix do you have?” Thanks for keeping it fresh, Dye.
Oh, and you wanted a price right? Rumor has it, $1500-$1600 MSRP. What did you expect…?
Here’s a video of Ollie Lang robbing Dye blind and taking the NT out for a spin.
