The Dye M3s – What's New?

Dye has completely turned its proven M2 upside down and rethought many parts. The result is a brand new high-end paintball marker that Dye definitely didn't have before.

The new Dye M3s is practically a hybrid of the previous model Dye M2 and the recently introduced Dye DSR . For the first time , the DSR uses a new type of bolt system called ARC . In the M3s we find a variant that works a little differently and has become a good deal more efficient. All in all, one can say that the Dye M3s combines the best of Dye M2 and Dye DSR in one paintball marker . A successful combination with impressive performance data. We're definitely excited to see how the new Dye M3 will perform on the pitches and tournaments in Europe next season, but we're already certain that Dye teams will be playing at the top again with this kit.

The key details of the Dye M3s

We're often asked what's new about the Dye M3s paintball marker and why should I buy it when I already have an M2. Many laypeople and newcomers only see the crucial differences at second glance, since the technical innovations are not always immediately apparent. For this reason we would like to go into the intricacies of the new Dye M3s a little more at this point.

As already mentioned above, the most important innovation is the new FL-21 bolt . This comes from the Dye DSR, but has been further developed. Due to the modified bolt guide, compared to the old Fuse Bolt system, the FL-21 bolt is much gentler on the paint and requires less pressure to move in the marker. This lowers the working pressure to an unbelievably low 115 PSI or, in German, to approx. 7.5 bar. The result is not only a much gentler shot, but also a reduction in the shot noise and a significantly improved air efficiency of the marker.

In addition to the outstanding new bolt system, numerous features have been adopted from the proven Dye M2 system. Among other things, the large display, the board that can be adjusted and programmed via a 5-way joystick and the reinforced eye pipe. But these are just a few of the features that the new Dye M2 can offer. You can get a more detailed overview in Dye's product video, which briefly and precisely introduces all the features.

All features of the new Dye M3 in the video:

The Dye M3 – What's behind the rumors about the new Dye Marker?

On the internet and in the big forums, users are already tumbling over themselves with opinions, tips and lots of rumors about the successor to the Dye M2. Allegedly, an employee of the US provider ANSGear also revealed insider knowledge during the announcements about the Dye DSR that indicates that Dye is also developing a new Dye M3 paintball marker parallel to the DSR. It could even come out this year.

What exactly the new Dye M3 can do, what it will look like, what it costs and when exactly we will see the good piece is unfortunately still in the stars. Still, it seems more or less clear that it will come. The rumors about the M3 have intensified too much in recent weeks. In addition, Dye has not officially denied any of the rumors.

What can the new Dye M3 do?

The question is quite justified, and unfortunately we can only make assumptions so far. One thing is certain, if the marker is really called M3 in the end, then we can count on a further development of the M2 platform. It remains to be seen whether we will see a pure facelift model with new, slimmer milling, or whether another major development step has been taken with the M3.

The Dye DSR , which is completely new for Dye, is also interesting to consider in this context. Many features were installed here that the customer is more familiar with from Planet Eclipse markers than from Dye. Should the M3 possibly be a mixture of M2 and DSR? And if so, what might that look like?

When will the new Dye M3 be on the market?

Probably the most important date for launching new products on the market is the World Cup in Orlando, USA. The latest products for the coming season are always presented here at the end of the season. So if there really is a new Dye M3 on the way, we'll probably see it at the World Cup. The 2017 World Cup is relatively late. It is usually held in October, but this year curious players will have to wait until November before the innovations are presented.

In any case, we are excited about the new Dye M3 and will of course keep you up to date as soon as we have new information about the new high-end paintball marker from Dye .

The 2025 tournament season is about to begin. To mark the season's kickoff, we spoke with the officials of the DPL, the ICS, and the PRIME Series and asked them for updates on the current status and season planning. The result is a comprehensive overview of this year's tournament offerings. Want to know what distinguishes the leagues and tournament series from each other? Find the answers here.

 

The paintball tournament season starts as usual in April or May. The first few match days are always particularly exciting – all the teams are eager to finally get out on the field after the long winter preparation and compete against "real opponents" at tournament level. Of course, the teams have already played numerous matches in preparation, and many of them know each other from joint training sessions over the past few months. But when you suddenly find yourself on a league field – with referees, scoreboard, and spectators – the adrenaline rushes through even the most seasoned Bundesliga player. Every tournament player probably knows that excited butterflies in their stomach when they stand on base for the first point of the season and the 10-second counter counts down with a loud beeping. Simply an incredible feeling! Shortly before the start of the 2025 tournament season, we wanted to find out what the various league formats and tournament series have to offer this year. To make the whole process as transparent and comparable as possible, we asked the organizers of the three major leagues – DPL, ICS, and PRIME – exactly the same questions. This way, you can directly compare the answers and get a better idea of which league or format is best suited to your team. It should be noted that there are still spots available in some leagues! So if your team still wants to play this year, you still have the chance to register. And now, our interview finally begins! We wanted to know…

PBS Magazine: Dear league organizers, please describe your league for our readers in a few simple words and sentences. What sets you apart from other leagues? And what makes your league special or unique?

DPL: First of all, our name and our over 20-year history certainly make us special. The German Paintball League (DPL) is unique in its form. A key point is that the DPL is a true competitive league where fair and sporting competition is the focus. Of course, we all know that paintball is more than just a sport. Our hobby gives us so much more – anyone who has immersed themselves in our scene understands this. Fun and a family atmosphere play a big role. At the same time, you sometimes notice a greater level of fierceness in the DPL than at other events. Rivalries don't always end immediately after leaving the pit, and it sometimes takes a little longer for that "we're all one family" feeling to return.

This is certainly also due to the fact that the DPL is arguably the most professional league in Germany – with a certain amount of fame that can be achieved here. Teams that really want to prove themselves in the competition usually choose the DPL. Our Germany-wide structure and our comprehensive league system, which offers a variety of features on our website, are also part of our professionalism. We also set standards in terms of media coverage that are rarely achieved in the German scene. A common point of criticism is the price: Yes, the DPL is often more expensive than fun cups or incomparable tournament series. But this revenue flows directly back into the sport.

For many years, the DPL has been actively committed to the further development and preservation of paintball in Germany. We have launched beginner programs, organized events such as Paintball Day and Beginner Days, and tested new support concepts with team coaches. We have also promoted a paintball livestream, created a German rulebook, trained hundreds of referees, represented the German national teams at international competitions, and actively supported the continued existence of tournament playing fields.

ICS: First of all, we'd like to emphasize that we don't compare ourselves to other leagues or series, nor do we presume to judge them. The ICS – Independent Club Series stands for PURE RAW PAINTBALL – by players, for players! Our concept is strongly influenced by the 99er BYO sessions, which we launched 13 years ago and have enjoyed immense popularity ever since. With us, you'll experience a real competitive feeling, have the chance to win big – all in a relaxed club atmosphere that's appreciated and loved far beyond Germany's borders. We're firmly by your side and support your desire to play as often as possible under fair conditions. When people leave with a smile, we know we did everything right.

PRIME: The PRIME Series differs in its concept and offerings for top teams and the amateur sector. In the amateur sector, we work with partners in neighboring countries to provide a strong range of junior players. With a European final and a paintball trip to Florida for the World Cup, we aim to offer real highlights. In the pro sector, our location in Solms, Germany, is the central hotspot for teams in Central Europe who want to prepare specifically for the NXL Pro or Semi-Pro. At the same time, we offer top German teams that don't compete in the NXL the opportunity to compete with and learn from Europe's best players.

PBS Magazine: Where can you play your league format in the 2025 season? What locations are available, and what formats and divisions will be offered there?

DPL: The DPL will offer leagues in many regions of Germany in the 2025 season – at different levels, depending on availability and demand. The following leagues will generally be offered for the respective experience levels:

Beginners:

Advanced:

Premier League:

Venues of the DPL 2025:

Many of these pitches are long-standing partners of the DPL, and we are incredibly grateful to them. None of this would be possible without a strong partnership. The players should also be aware that the pitches are essential to our hobby. Which league is actually played at which venue depends largely on the number of registered teams. The sooner teams decide and communicate with us, the better – because that also sends a signal to other teams. This can prevent the field from becoming too fragmented, which in the worst case scenario could lead to certain leagues not being played or not being fully staffed.

This would have negative consequences: Incomplete or even missing divisions don't offer the optimal competitive experience. In the worst case, individual teams break up, and the team landscape becomes thinned out. However, we're all the more pleased that new teams are being formed and competing in the DPL every year!

ICS: In a nutshell: in the SUNDAYSCLUB! Arguably the most magical field in Germany. Our series includes three divisions in the 5-man XBL and one division in the M3 HTB format. We also support the grassroots with a 3-man ROOKIE DIVISION. The next division up is the 5-man AMATEUR DIVISION, followed by SEMI-PRO and finally our highest division – the PRO DIVISION .

PRIME: In Germany, we offer the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga at a central location in Solms. In addition, there are Div2 (5-man) and Div3 (3-man) amateur divisions. Div2 and Div3 are also held at Battleground Paintball in Poland, while Div3 is also offered in Belgium. The European finals also take place in Solms.

PBS Magazine: You certainly already have numerous teams registered for this season. Name three favorites that you think will be at the top of your top league this year.

DPL: As a neutral league operator, it's difficult to name a clear favorite. However, it must be said that all of the currently registered Bundesliga teams are among the strongest in Germany—so any of them could be considered a potential title contender.

We are particularly pleased that the following teams have once again expressed their trust in us (in alphabetical order):

Ballistics Göttingen

BM United Deidenberg (BEL)

Dortmund BALLERN. Factory Team

P!MP Squad Cologne

Paintball Sports Factory Team Hanover

King of Kingz Ninja Squad Schwalmstadt

We're also pleased that some teams that had opted for other leagues are now competing again in the DPL Bundesliga. Sometimes it turns out that the grass isn't greener on the other side of the fence—so we warmly welcome them "home"!

ICS: That's difficult to answer, as all of our teams compete at a high level. In the 2024 season, Roxy Army from Denmark secured the overall victory. Basically, every registered team has a chance to become champion! The best thing to do is visit our website and vote for your personal favorite.

PRIME : Our three favorites are the NXL PRO teams Breakout Arena, PPArena and Gladiatori Unicusano .

PBS Magazine: Can teams still register for your league or tournament series now, at the beginning of April 2025? If so, where are spots still available, and how can interested teams best contact you?

DPL: Registration is still possible, provided the divisions aren't already full. Those interested in participating should decide quickly so the divisions can be completed in time—because the start of the season is just around the corner. Newcomers still have the opportunity to join the district league during the current season.

The easiest way to register is via the DPL website, where various contact options are available. In addition to email and the contact form, we also offer telephone support and can be reached via WhatsApp. In any case, we will work with the respective league coordinator to arrange short-notice participation. We welcome every team and individual player who is ready to bring color to the air!

ICS: We can only estimate how the situation develops. As of February 17, 2025, all divisions are already fully staffed – with the exception of our Pro Division! Stay up to date via our social media channels or check our website regularly to see if spots become available. To get in touch quickly, simply send an email to anmeldung@ics-paintball.de or send us a private message (PM).

PRIME: Registrations are still possible until April 15, 2025, depending on the division. We have reached the minimum number of 8+ teams, but we usually have room for up to 12 teams.

PBS Magazine: What else would you like to tell our readers about your league or tournament format? Is there any important information we may have missed in our questions?

DPL: Generally speaking, the DPL is already familiar to many as a veteran of the scene, and the questions asked cover a wide range of topics. Further information can be found at any time on our website at dpl-online.de. There's also a special beginners' section under the heading "Your Entry" – interesting not only for newcomers, but also for those who think they already know the DPL. After all, changes are always happening within the DPL. Adjustments, for example to the rules, are of course communicated via news articles. But there are also internal changes that aren't immediately apparent – these often only become apparent through direct communication.

If anyone has had a bad experience with the DPL in the past (and yes, there are certainly some), we would like to hear about it – ideally through direct communication. We take constructive feedback very seriously and are willing to learn from past mistakes. In many cases, we have already recognized where improvements are needed, and we are continuously working to change things for the better. Ultimately, however, this can only work together. This point also applies to other league operators and stakeholders: If we want to move tournament paintball forward, we must find a common path – free of old "politics" and outdated views. The DPL thanks every team, referee, league coordinator, field operator, mediagrapher, supporter, and everyone else involved for their tremendous support. Finally, we wish all players and everyone who helps shape the sport a successful season and many great moments with good people. Have a fantastic time on the fields!

ICS: We've said it all – but one more thing, and this is the most important thing of all: PLAY PAINTBALL! Experience unforgettable sessions with us at the club – WE MAKE MEMORIES!

PRIME: The PRIME Series is setting new standards: With the Grand Prize – a trip to America for the World Cup for Div3 – we're offering a prize that's perhaps never been seen before in the amateur league. There will be a supporting program for the Bundesliga to make our top league even more attractive for on-site spectators. So, grab the kids and come along – it'll be worth it!

That was our overview of the 2025 tournament season and the current offerings in the leagues and tournament series. We hope this interview has helped you decide which tournament series is best suited for your team. Regardless of which format you ultimately choose, we wish you lots of fun and a successful paintball season! We'll return to this topic later in the year and gather a season summary from the individual leagues and organizers. So stay tuned to see how paintball tournaments develop in 2025!

Available: now | Price: 264,95 €

Welcome to a new product test. This time with a brand new high-end marker from DYE. Just in time for the World Cup in Orlando, DYE has introduced a brand new marker model, the MXR, which is set to impress with numerous new features and, above all, a new price point. In today's product test, you'll find out what the new DYE MXR can do and what you as a player can look forward to with this new model. We hope you enjoy reading it.

 

The first M3 was introduced around seven years ago. This was then replaced about a year later by the successor model DYE M3s. This was finally followed, around three years ago, by the DYE M3+. The same thing happened with the DYE DSR. After two successful years, the DSR was followed by the further developed DSR+. The performance of this was then further improved by the later Ironmen Performance Kit, which could be purchased separately, and has existed to this day. After the two current DYE high-end models had already gotten a little old, it was now clearly time for a generational change and so DYE presented the brand new DYE MXR at the Paintball World Cup in Orlando, Florida in November 2024.

What at first glance looks like a mix of the best components from both previous models is very different on the inside. The heart of the DYE MXR is a completely new bolt, the ARC-X, which has never been seen on any DYE marker model before. Based on the tried and tested ARC bolt system of the DSR+, but significantly improved in terms of performance, sound signature and air consumption.

The body is reminiscent of a DSR+, but is a bit taller and significantly slimmer than the M3+. The front grip doesn't really fit into the usual DYE image and looks more like the PLANET ECLIPSE CS3 or LV2. Which is a good thing, because many players love the PE markers precisely for this really excellent tactile front grip. Incidentally, DYE has also revised the power supply. After the lithium battery (M3+) and 9V block (DSR+), 2x AA batteries are now installed in the front grip of the MXR. This also means a change in voltage to just 3 volts.

The large display of the M3+, on the side of the grip frame, has completely disappeared. The narrow DSR+ display on the back of the grip including the mini joystick control remains. The biggest difference in the grip is probably the trigger. The MXR comes with two different triggers as standard, so that players can choose between a straight and a curved trigger. Even more interesting, however, is the feel of the trigger. DYE has made up a lot of ground here and is now almost on par with the world's best triggers from DLX Luxe. Of course, such an impression is always subjective, but at this point we definitely recommend comparing it in a shop of your choice. The MXR trigger really can do something! Another upgrade is the new aluminum eye pipe. The patented eye pipe system, which is only available on DYE markers worldwide anyway, has been redesigned here. Instead of being made of plastic, the eye pipe on the DYE MXR is now milled from a single piece of aluminum. This means that this component can practically never break again. The small plastic ball detents that protrude into the side of the eye pipe and are designed to prevent two balls from entering the barrel at the same time have been replaced by a standard O-ring from the DYE Parts Kit. This means that you now practically always have your detents with you in the O-ring kit and replacing them only costs a few cents. In our opinion, this is one of the most practical and innovative updates, and we are already wondering which of the other manufacturers will jump on this bandwagon in the future.

Let's now take a look at the new, previously mentioned ARC-X bolt on the MXR. DYE has significantly optimized the already very well-functioning ARC bolt system. The ARC-X version has fewer O-rings, which makes maintenance easier and also requires fewer maintenance intervals. The new holes in the bolt offer an unprecedented air flow, which ensures a reduced working pressure, which is accompanied by a quieter firing noise, a reduced dwell and a more consistent firing cycle. The bolt is rounded off by a soft tip, which, according to the manufacturer, should expel even the most brittle paint from the marker in one piece in any weather.

For the barrel, DYE has adopted its tried and tested UL-I barrel system, which was already available as an accessory and in both strictly limited DSR+ ICON Editions. This three-part barrel system consists of a front and back, as well as a DYE UL-I insert, which is identical to the Inception Designs PWR sleeves. This makes this barrel system compatible with all PWR inserts from the most common manufacturers on the market. These include Inception Designs, Planet Eclipse, Carbon and of course DYE's own sleeves. This combination ensures maximum constant FPS with every shot and optimal acceleration of the paintballs. The MXR barrel set also includes 3 PWR sleeves in diameters of .680, .684 and .688. This means you are optimally equipped to start with.

The overall package is rounded off by the usual, tried-and-tested features of the previous models. These include the DYE Sticky Grips handles, which can be attached and removed without tools, the continuously adjustable clamp feed, the quick release bolt system and the new Slap2 ASA with the integrated Hyper6 regulator. According to the manufacturer, the MXR will also be mech-compatible. A mechanical frame is already in production. DYE is also breaking new ground in terms of design and the MXR was presented in eight different and really fresh color combinations. The whole thing starts at just 1499.95 euros with the basic version in classic black. DYE is also making a statement in terms of price and is the first provider to make its latest high-end model not more expensive, but actually cheaper. If you compare the black MXR model with a black DLX Luxe IDOL or a black PLANET ECLIPSE CS3, for example, you save a whopping €500 when buying from DYE. That's a 25% price saving compared to the competition's high-end models, and that for a marker that is significantly newer and therefore more advanced in terms of technology and efficiency than the two comparison models. It will be interesting to see how the competition will react to the MXR, its features and the manufacturer's pricing. The fact is that the other brands will either have to follow suit in terms of price or performance in order to keep up.

To give you an even clearer idea of what the DYE MXR comes with and the differences between the individual models, we compared the DYE MXR with its predecessors, the M3+ and DSR+, in our unboxing video. There you can also see the differences between the bolt systems. Take a look at our YouTube channel and see for yourself. Enjoy the video about the MXR.

RELOADED…

PLANET ECLIPSE GEO R5

We already discussed it with you in detail in the last product test. The GEO R5 is now available in six typical PLANET ECLIPSE color combinations and can be delivered from our warehouse. The R5 is in the upper price range. The new bolt system is extremely efficient and very gentle on the paint. Many popular features from the GEO of the past have been modified and incorporated into the new R5. Players also specifically requested many of them.

SOME CARBON?

Available as black anodized aluminum or as an ultra-light full carbon version. This makes the SAR-12 look even cooler. The full carbon version is also a lot lighter.
