Proto Matrix Rail - Proto Rail Paintball Guns - Proto Paintball Guns

The Proto Rail is improved each year with its performance, looks and overall consistency. The Rail has always been a great paintball gun for the price. Fast and accurate right out of the box. The original Proto Rail was mainly composed of composite parts – still a very durable gun but were a few kinks that surely needed to be worked out by Proto. Since technology grows each year so does the Rail – being faster, more efficient and overall durable

The Special Edition Rail – and why it’s so special

The Proto Rail that was released in 2007 was an extremely reliable gun for the time. A year later the Special Edition Rail was released that completely reformed the 07. Aluminum replaced the parts that were lacking structure. The back cap that was originally plastic tended to ware down very easily causing leaks and a stripped fitting. With the Special Edition Rail, an aluminum design took place giving a more durable cap that will last longer and give a good seal. Another upgrade that we find in the Special Edition Rail is the adjustable trigger that is also composed of aluminum. Having a slick edged trigger makes it easy for fast firing. One of the main upgrades on this gun is the 2 piece Proto Barrel - 14”. The barrel on the 07 Rail was a 1 piece 12” that lacked in accuracy and distance. By having a 2 piece, 14” barrel you gain that accuracy and distance needed for a perfect shot on any field. There are many other upgrades on the Special Edition Rail that make the gun more air efficient, reliable and performance enhanced.

The 2009 Proto Matrix Rail

The Proto 09 Rail has a faultless design with its compact and lightweight body styling. The Ultralite frame is a work of art. All constructed from aluminum – no plastic parts on the 09 Rail. The Ultralite frame is the major upgrade on the Proto Rail. It’s the most advanced and revolutionary frame in the world of paintball. The new hour-glass shape allows for maximum control and comfort. The Roller bearing trigger offers complete and total adjustment, helping you get your trigger exactly where you want it. The frame also includes an LED light which alerts you the status of your marker without having to take your eyes off the game. Changing modes has never been so easy with the Ultralite frame. Another major upgrade on this gun is the On/Off ASA. It’s such a luxury of being able to turn on and off your air flow at any given time with a simple twist of a knob. Have you ever unscrewed your tank and since all the air was built up it made a loud pop noise and an o-ring went missing. Well now the On/Off designs allows a quick and simple cut off of air flow that will release immediately from the ASA making your tank easy to unscrew off your gun. No more frustration and worrying about o-rings. The regulator of the 09 Proto Rail was also redesigned giving a more air efficient setup. Being more air efficient means you gain more shots off your tank since your gun does not need to use a lot of air to operate. Dye designed the Proto Rail with the goal of providing you with tournament grade performance at a reasonable price.

What upgrades are available?

The 09 Proto Rail is a high performance gun right out of the box. Like most high performance guns not much is needed to boost its performance, but that does not mean there are not fun upgrades available. Carbon fiber barrels are available to make your gun lighter and more accurate such as the Deadly Wind Autococker Threaded Barrel, Bolts such as the TechT Proto Matrix Rail L7 Bolt is available for better air efficiency and decrease the kick of the paintball gun. Boards, Feednecks, Triggers and many other upgrades are available to enhance your Rail with its performance and looks!

Important Facts

- Autococker barrel threads for multiple barrel options

- Works extremely well with a 9V Energy Battery – save a ton of money by having a battery that will last for weeks

- Lube is a requirement to keep the o-rings from cracking that can cause leaks and other damages to your gun. We recommend Sleek and TechT Gun Sav for the best response in reliability

Remember to clean your gun on a regular basis. It only takes a few minutes to completely dissemble the Proto Rail. At the end of your long day of paintball take the barrel off give it a good clean down (water is ok), clean the bolt of any paint and dirt – apply a new coat of lube on the o-rings, use q-tips to clean the eyes, open grips and clean out any paint or dirt that may of slipped in.
