pros and cons of cockers and mags...

[mamasboy99]

I've heard all this stuff about an rt being outlawed, or atleast my local field wont allow them, so, i have a minmag, should i keep it, get a z-valve, a double trigger, or get a cocker and soup it up, then black magic, or 2001 vert feed? Do cockers really have to be messed with every few games? Please tell me... Also, my team is MAGnum Force, cuz we all have mags, but if igeet a cocker my friends might be mad, PLZ HELP!

I've seen Cocker performance all over the place. Brand new cockers falling apart, and other's never needing to be messed with for a year.

Ever shot a cocker? It's different. Try one out. Try out as many markers as possible. Most people are very cool with it as long as you use your own paint.

I'd look to drop on a Hyperframe for your Mini. Electrics are not the future, they are the present.

Ok here it is. I have a cocker as my gun. Every thing on it is da best. Not one thing is stock. I love my cocker and it shots fast and far ok. But. I bought my girlfriend a 2000 micromag rt.I can tell you this the mag is more fun and shots really fast and looks a lot better and is light.What i am trying to say is go with the rt valve.
Cockers are great if you want to custom up every piece of your gun and you have the time and money to do it. Dont listen to people when they say cockers always break down because they dont.If you read a little and fix it once and make sure everything is locked and tight then it will work great.Cockers are fun guns but i like the tinny lite litte paint blaster that is her mag.Just more fun to play with.

my field wont allow rt valves, i might go with the inteliframe... is it any good... its agdpaintball.org

[Halliday]

Never seen one, never held one. It's a mechanical frame that actuates a Warp Feed right?

I guess it's cool if you have a WF.

The intelliframe is simply a high quality2x trigger frame made by AGD. It comes with 2 diferent styles of trigger. (your choice) If you buy it directly from agd, they will send it with the radioshack parts that can be used to activate your hopper or warp already installed. (for a limited time) If you get it somewhere else, you will have to purchase and install these parts seperately. The Intelliframe was designed so that the RadioShack parts will fit right in and not be a pain to rig up. It is not cheap, but it is AGD quality and IMO, nothing else is worth getting now that it is out.

Heres a pic of it. the blade trigger is shown. you can also get the groove trigger.

I just love my bushmaster so id have to recommend that. I use to have a cocker and like halliday said some ppl never have problems and others have problems 24/7. So my suggestion either a bushy or keep the mag with a Boo yaah( they are cheap now but they still have techs that will fix it)

[mamasboy99]

why do people think cockers r so much better?

[Halliday]

Because most people think that the more complicated something is (cocker) the better it must be. People always want stuff with "more features" even if they don't know what they do and will never use them.

(That's years of camera-selling experience talking there.)

Stop the spam. Richy_C

[AutocockerFreak]

Also because a cocker is basically a pump which makes it very accurate. Its just a Sniper 3 with Pneumatics that recock it

[mamasboy99]

and a heck of a lot of parts..........

Mad vs cocker has always been a big battle with the guys I play with. I think it is a matter of personal preference. My powerfeed classic is light, fast, and I have never has a problem with it (its a 98 and still has the star). I have shot cockers, and as Halladay said, it is different if you are used to a mag. From what I have seen though, the cockers will be the gun to break or malfunction first. Three of the guys I know have Dye, STO and FreeFlow cockers( each has about $1200-$1800 in these guns). All three have had problems in the past, and must clean and service them frequently to get desired operation and to keep them from dying on the field. Personally I would keep your mag, get an electronic frame. They are pretty sick~
