Autocockers are PSYCHO CRAZY!!!!!!

[Silent Knight]

I would say im a newbie to paintball. I've only played about 5 times on a actual field. This past sunday was the first time I ever actually saw a AutoCocker in action. These two guys both with STO's showed up and killed the oposition. These guys were on my team so i wasn't worried that much. I can imagine how the other players felt (the ones been killed by the cocker) these guns are awesome! I have never seen a gun fire so fast before! seems like a person with a regular semi doesn't have a chance against these super guns (cockers, shockers, automags) I have a TL+ and now i really want to get a cocker. I guess thats a bad idea but how does one not get so intimidated by other guns! Just hearing that gun fire would keep me suppressed behind a bunker!

Well, I dunno about being intimidated, mostly I try not to laugh when I'm flingin 14 shots a second... so if you think a cocker is fast, god forbid you find someone with an electro :)

Honestly though, I dont get intimidated by any gun, because you have to think of it this way

A cocker is set to fire 300 feet per second, it's ball will reach you from the firing point in the amount of time it takes for a ball to travel that distance at 300 feet per second

An Angel is set to fire 300 feet per second, it's ball will reach you from the firing point in the amount of time it takes for a ball to travel that distance at 300 feet per second

A crap-o-matic pump action is set to fire 300 feet per second, it's ball will reach you from the firing point in the amount of time it takes for a ball to travel that distance at 300 feet per second

No matter what the guy is shooting, you have the exact same amount of time to pop up, take your shot and get back behind cover, 1 ball per second will send you to the deadbox just as fast as someone shooting a case of paint in the blink of an eye. Wait for em to stop shooting, then deal it back to em as hard as they did to you

incase you don't get what my friend here said, albeit he has a good point, who ever pulls the trigger first is going to win

And add to that It's the player not the marker. An angel sitting on the ground can't get anyone out, but the the guy with the talen with an angle on you can.:)
