The Proto SLG is a paintball marker manufactured by DYE Precision under the Proto Paintball brand. "SLG" is short for "Super Light Gun." It was first released in October 2007 as the 2008 model. With an MSRP of $250, the SLG is the most affordable marker DYE has ever produced, and it is intended to compete with other budget electropneumatic markers like the Smart Parts Ion.

Operation
Unlike other electropneumatic spool valve markers on the market, which use a solenoid valve to actuate the movement of the bolt, the SLG operates using a spool valve actuated by a mechanical solenoid and sear. This unique single-tube, sear-tripping, blow-forward operation is comparable to, though not identical to, the operation of the Automag.

There are 3 o-rings and two parts to the bolt kit: a bolt and backcap. Though more efficient than Proto's other markers, the SLG is also louder and has a bit more recoil. The SLG comes standard with Dye's Hyper3 regulator and wired eyes. Though the trigger frame is polymer, it is stronger than the PMR gripframe. The SLG does not have a low pressure regulator.
