Pronounce it how you like as it is an acronym for some chinese gibberish. I also suggest using a phonetic alphabet to ask questions about pronouncing something- like in the dictionary between the () in funny letters.

Well I don't exactly have a dictionary laying around anywhere. Thanks for answering my question.

I actually have a couple CYMA rifles (CM.050 and M187d) and always pronounce it like "see-ma", and people seem to understand.

In my experience most americans pronounce it sigh-muh where as most asians pronounce it see-muh.  As far as I know, there isn't a "correct" pronunciation.
