I don't know if I'd call this a tech vid, but it's very informative either way. I already knew the benefits of this engine but a lot of people don't. Honestly I feel like QT paintball and myself agree on almost everything haha. I've liked every video you've done to date. Keep it up!

Best technical breakdown of any paintball marker ever.

Thank you, there are no videos up right now that actually cover the engine of this thing

Again, thank you for producing real reviews with actual information. I've had an M3s from August of 2018, as well as a dozen others bought and re-sold over 2019-2020. They're amazing. Amazingly efficient, remarkably easy on paint, reliable, easy on the eyes, and comfortable in the hands. It has it's weak points, but those are heavily outweighed by positives. I highly appreciate the M3 and it's poppy yet gentle shot. You said it, this is a greatly misunderstood and underappreciated marker. I hope Dye keeps the FL-21 in the M4.

@@landonp4726 the tool-less grip system leads to rips, a feedneck that unnecessarily spins, a front foregrip that comes off inadvertently, and terribly soft trigger adjustment screws that strip too easily. Honestly otherwise this platform rocks.

Fantastic explanation. Thanks for making this. The concept of a self-sealing chamber without relying on back-pressure is incredibly elegant!

Excellent breakdown. On the bolt, you notice the holes under the tip? Those were a significant FPS gain over most other soft tip designs as well.

Thanks John! I appreciate that. The 3 holes under the soft tip. Could you explain how that works?

@@QTPaintball Most soft tips require compression with the breech to form a seal, whereas most well-designed oring tips use a floating seal (the oring gland is a bit oversized and pressure stretches the oring to seal the gap). As you know, many soft tips cause problems when they swell or wear. So the one on dye guns is loose in the breech, but those holes allow air to push the tip outward when a shot is fired to seal the breech.

I was thinking about it all wrong. That makes perfect sense. Explains the profile of the tip. It always impresses me how the pressure in the breach can be utilized. The pulse from the shot able to generate the "inflation" alone or does it require the back pressure from a ball?

Awesome info John. Is it recommended to remove the soft tip from the bolt before sliding it through the cylinder? I've just been pushing it through when doing maintenance

@@buckshotbrown2173 I usually don't remove it. I tapered the cans on the DSR and m3 to make the bolt easily removable without taking off the tip. The ramp usually allows it to pop back through during reassembly, but I typically install the bolt on the guide and then push the can over it. Saves time in the pits.

Great video as always. I had no idea how intricate that transfer tube was.

Keep up the amazing work QT Paintball after the Madman has gone on vacation from youtube, you are the next best thing when it comes to technical and mechanical performance reviews.

Amazing diagrams! Helped demystify this gun. Makes me love and appreciate my M3 even more now. You touched on some personal thoughts of the M3, but I hope we get a proper "review" or "impressions" video of the whole marker/experience.

Of course! I have such a back log of markers due to COVID. Just haven't been able to get much play time with them. Just in house testing

That is very cool, I am going to have to watch this video a few times and maybe check out some slo-mo animations to really learn what's going on. Thanks for the great content!

Nice tech video. Are you going to make a complete review of the marker? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on it. I'm dyeing to play with mine again. been out the game for the last year but i love the M3

Opinion on the DSR+? Any chance of a breakdown?

do you notice any shot difference in the solenoid change? im thinking bout geting the billy wing noid for my m3s since i already have all the other upgrades

So it will be very subtle. What the manifold is doing is softening the acceleration of the bolt. You don't need it, I believe the flex face and updated eye pipe are all you need.

Anywhere we can download that diagram of air pathways?

I had a luxe X and would always break paint in cold weather. Is the M3 anything like that or is it reliable no matter what conditions?

@QTPaintball

I find the M3 to be a better paint handler. The breach geometry and bolt tip design is superior to luxes

The Etha one is not even worth talking about. I mean........they shoot paint but there's a lot of failure points in the drive train and yes........they do fail. I've had to fix every etha one in my city at some point, or at least that's what it felt like lol. Thankfully PE will still help you out with most of the issues if they have parts and almost every one of them needed parts replaced. At this point in time there's no reason to buy one unless you get it for an unbelievably cheap price and it's a fully functional gun.

I need a copy of this diagram. Can you post it somewhere for download? I'd ask you to email me a copy, but I don't want my email posted publicly. Maybe I should just hit up imped4now to get a copy?
