Tippmann 98 (Pretty well upgraded)
My Tippmann 98 is a lot louder and heavier than this gun.
Marker Setup:
Trilogy Sport
STO Hinge Trigger Frame
PB Drop Forward
Palmer Stabilizer
12v Revy
20 oz CO2 (To cheap to buy HPA)
Recommended Upgrades:
Any sort of reg and a new trigger frame.
Strengths:
Lightweight
Accurate
Quiet
Works well with CO2
Weaknesses:
1.5 Hinge Trigger Frame
Review:
This gun does what it is supposed to do. It shoots reliably and accurately once you understand the whole timing thing. It comes pretimed from the factory, but since the trigger frame is to small for an adult, you need to get a new one and time the gun correctly. Another good thing about this gun is that it works well with CO2, I haven't had a problem yet with spikes or hot shots.
Conclusion:
This is a decent gun for the amount of money that it costs. Much lighter and quieter then my Tippmann. Timing is not hard to understand at all and you can read up about it on almost any auto-cocker site. The reason I purchased this gun was because I was able to strip my old gun for upgrades and transfer it over. If you don't have any sort of reg, then I'd recommend you get any of the higher models. Then again, everyone buys stuff and gets rid of their stock pieces on a marker.
I need info please. We are purchasing a marker for our 13 year old , we were looking at the Tippmann 98 when we saw the Autococker Sport.
These are the price range we are able to purchase. Which would be best for him?
Tyler the 98 is a good reliable gun very upgradeable so it would grow with him , but the sport is more accurate and is reliable not as much as the 98 and pretty upgradeable but the trilogy pro would be best
I've got both a Tippmann 98 and the Sport being that the kids just a 13 year old I would go with the 98 for the fact you can use it and abuse it and its gonna shoot like new. Ive chopped a few balls in my sport where I have never chopped one in my 98. That says alot being that I bought it used 3 years ago.

I really don't like tippmann because they are long, loud, and has slow rate of fire. But you can fix all of that by getting few upgrades which is going to cost money and at some point when you try to sell it you won't even get 1/4 of what you pay for. While trilogy pro is quiet and accurate, but in other hand it has like no upgrades for it; And in my opinion trilogy will hold its price. And you might want to consider getting a spyder victor because kingman came out with few new parts like rocking trigger frame, acs bolt etc.... so you upgrade a spyder victor and compare against 500-700 $ markers. You can get Rocking trigger frame for $120, acs bolt for like $30, and spyder victor for $55. which is going to perform better than trilogy and tippmann on stock. You can also get spyder electra 05' for $220, it comes with rocking trigger frame and you can easily fire 17-18 bps and with few weeks of practice you will probably fire 22-23 bps. Spyder Pilot a is a decent marker in my opinion better than trilogy pro and 98s and it's only like $160, also claims to shoot 20+ bps. I can keep going on, and know few websites to get good markers for decent price. e-mail me if you have any questions and hope i helped.
i would go with the sport if ur child keeps away from short stroking and knows how to work out the sport or any autococker and make sure that he knows what he is doing. shortstoking is able to really screw up a marker.....but if he doent know how to use one go with the tippmann
well guys, all said its an autococker, until the trilogy came out you couldnt touch a cocker for under oh around 300 dollars. The previos weaknesses of the cocker was, weight. Now with the trilogys that problem is gone. IYou can get an ultra light, tight, and compact cocker for les then we payed for our spyders a year ago.
COCKERS ROCK
