Yeah, I'd say the same. If you've got the money it beats any of the guns you've listend hands down. If you dont have the money, I'd look at an impulse or a bushy, but the intimidator is definately worth the extra money.

the shocker, intimidator, the Bushy, and the Cocker are very good guns. Also look into the Impulse, i've heard alot of good things about it. Honestly, i'd go for a cocker. I'm not too into electro-pneumatic guns, and i personally love the cocker. If you REALLY want an electro pneumatic gun, get an Intimidator. They are very very nice guns, and the price really isn't that steep if you think about what you get with the gun, i.e. the anti chop eye.

well....i've already made up my mind. but......just a comment....the intimidator looks uglier than bb from da drew carey show. to me it reminds me of some jacked up piece of melted metal. look at those 2 front cylinders in da front....when i saw it....it looked like it was all deformed and melted....i dont know....maybe its just da pic online.... havent realy seen one in real life close up. my friends all tell me its really awesome and they think its faster than an angel.

i can fix like anything. im like a 13 year old mechanical genius. hehe. seriously.....i'll prolly understand the cocker and how it works in a matter of minutes....i dont care about fixin mah gun....just i'd rather not fix a gun often. its so annoying...i dont know if i should get a bushy, cocker or shocker. i mean...by the end of da summa....im gonna have at least $3,600. so...money isnt too big of an issue. its just which gun i should get. and im not gonna get a get over 1000..cuz i dont think its necessary.

Timmys are nice, but they do look a little "different".
It depends on what kind of money your talking about. A bushy is probably on of the best for the price, but you need a new adjustable reg or adjustable tank. I havent heard much about the impulses, but from what I hear they are nice. If you look around, you can get an LED angel for a pretty good price. Shockers 4x4s are in there, if you like that kind of thing. Matrices also fit nicely in the mid to high price range.
Cockers are fun to tinker with. Once you understand how they work, there really isnt much to them. As a matter of fact, my cocker is in pieces about two feet away from me. Im planning on sending the body to Jeremy Garret for some neato milling soon.

Man, intimidator looks beatiful in person with a tank and grip on it. I'll admit I didnt like it when I saw it in pics, but when I saw it at the store (I was planning on getting something else) I said "Where have you been all my life" held off from making the gun purchase that day, did the research and found that the intimidator had alot of features I really liked. That said, dont judge the gun by pictures, you cant really appreciate it unless you see it in person, I know because I felt the same way :)

It just doesnt do it justice, you cant see the milling, and take any gun that you think looks good, now remove the foregrip. Looks pretty stupid doesnt it? Well there you go. Angel, cocker, bushy, all look pretty fugly without foregrips.
