Comments on Rand's Review

Rand Monday, March 12th, 2007 Period of Product Use: Less than a month Paintball Experience: More than 5 years Similar Products Used: Too many other cockers to list. Marker Setup: Free Flow Rhythm Cocker- Palmer LPR, Bullet 3 way, Palmer Ram, AKA Sidewinder Reg, Bullet Drop w/ ASA, Freak kit. Free Flow Rhythm Pump Cocker- CCM pump kit, Sidewinder Reg, Bullet Drop w/ ASA, Freak kit. 03' Cocker: STO Ram, STO 3-way, Palmer Rock Reg, Perfect Cradle Drop, Polished Internals, Hinge Frame, Trigger Cam, 14 inch JJ Ceramic, 14 inch ACI Combo 98 Custom (woods gun): Flatline Recommended Upgrades: Freak kit- or similar barrel kit. THIS IS A MUST HAVE...LITERALLY! Strengths: Light, accurate, quiet, fast...for a mechanical marker. Weaknesses: Free Flow isn't around anymore, so if you want parts, good luck. Review: I've been building and shooting cockers for years- they are awesome guns in stock form. The Free Flow is the king of mechanical cockers. I own two new F.F. Rhythm cockers- I took one out for the first time yesterday- wow. The Rhythm is the lighest, tighest cocker I have ever owned. It is so smooth there is virtally no kick, so staying on target is a breeze. The gun operates at such a low pressure that a short-stroke will not result in a broken ball. The bolt simply stops on the ball if you short-stroke. Nice. I shot half a case yesterday and didn't break a single ball. Not one. If you are a cocker fan and have never shot a Free Flow gun, you have to check one out...if you can find one. I'm in the process of building my second Rhythm into a pump gun. I will update the review after I complete that project. Conclusion: If you can find one, buy one. Sure the mechanicals are slower than the new electros out there...but that's why the E2 frame w/ B board exists! You will not be disappointed with this gun.
