Woo Hoo! Suction Timing!

[Counterfeit]

I just suction timed my cocker! And damm it is nice!

Plus I made the trigger pull 1/2 the length while doing it.

What is everybody talking about when they say timing a cocker ?

Do a search on autocockers in this forum. I have explanned it MANY times and that is not what this thread was started for.

suction timing? never heard of it....

[A damn fool]

What is it? Ive heard of timign the auto cocker, because one of my friends had to have it done. Maybe i fu explain it, i can tell him how to do it, because his gun is never perfectly timed right, he had to bring it to the shop to have it done.

Well, I'm no expert myself, but I can give you the general idea. The Autococker is a closed-bolt gun, meaning that at the time the trigger is pulled and the ball fired, the bolt is in the forward position. It sounds simple enough, but if the bolt went back and forth as fast as it could, without stopping, then there would be no way that the ball could make it into the breach. So it has to have a timing mechanism, to cause a delay just long enough to allow the paintball to enter the breach. I'm not sure how, but if timed just right, the gun somehow creates a "vacuum feed", which causes the paintballs to be fed just that much faster. Heres a simple way of explaining what happens. If you held a piece of toilet paper in place over the feed neck, it would break and be sucked into the breach. Now, I don't actually own an Autococker (truth be told, I've never fired one either), and I've been playing for not even a year, so Counterfeit might want to correct me on something or elaborate further.

Basicly it is "air assist" in the opposite direction and with out wires or hoses. Suction timing has the gun so perfectly timed, that when the bolt is thrusted back, it will pull some air with it therefore creating a vacuum effect on the ball.

[davidb]

If you get a cocker perfectly timed like that, will it stay that way if you leave it alone, or will it need readjusting every now and then? I have always wanted a cocker, and would like to find out as much as I can before I get one.

[MC Escher]

you know your cocker needs re-timing when you loose that vacuum affect and/or you chop balls a lot.

Just remember that your consistency may drop as a result from suction timing

Ah, nope suction timing helps consistancy with shots. When it is timed so perfectly that it creates a vacuum you will get the best consistancy.

Also muck, I was being "chrouchity" with him, remember this is a message board, you can't tell peoples tone or mood when they are typing. Next time I'll put some :) :) there so you know I was being friendly and telling him where he can find the answer.
