Today was my first time playing speedball, and it was fun as ****. I usually play at my field me and my friends made (Woods), but during the winter i got the need to become more professional. So i looked on the net for some places to go play. Found a couple and today everything was perfect for me to get out and try one. OK enough of the bs, now how did i do. Well unfortunitly this was the second time using my cocker, and the first time I used it was out of my front door shooting across the road. I wasnt playing it smart i just wanted to rip up some snow so i just sat there and and shot about 500 balls. then after that, i got my new bolt, pneumatics, and regulator, so i started to shoot it again, not accually having it timed right. Before i new what all the knobs and adjusting things did i was out of air. So i then started to read the little manual on how to time ur gun, got it down and just needed some air so i could time my gun. But the next time i got air was at the field. So i took 20 min to sitting at the chrono getting my gun adjusted. So i went off to play my first game, and it was on the inflatables. Before i knew it they blew the whistle and the game was started so i went and grabbed the first bunker i could. I just sat in the back and unloading my hopper at the other side, didnt hit ****. then one time i poped up and i got goggled, the guy was just waiting for me. The teams were pretty unfair at times and of course those were the teams i was stuck on.

Ok ill sum the rest up now.
~second game i got a splatter off the ground and onto my knee, so the ref called me out.
~third game, i chopped a ball. went to figure out my ram pressure was to high
~forth game i think we won.
~fifth game we changed to the spool field. i kept in the back as my gun went to ****, something happend to my gun where when i pulled the trigger the no gas was getting through, so after pushing like 10 balls into my barrel someone from the side lines yelled "chech the cocking rod" and im like, DUH. I was a little off because of the adreniline rush. then i turned the gun unside down, shot and there went the 10 balls sitting there, they all poped and the paint came oozing out of the end of the barrel.
then the next game i went out there and got a bal chop and a shell got wedged so i had to walk off.
~the next 4 games my team won.

i might have got only 2 eliminations for that whole day. Pathetic.
But im pretty sure it was the paint. every god damn ball had a dent in it, and they were big dents.
And i heard good reviews bout team colors.
anyways i had fun as hell today so it doesnt really matter that i didnt really hit that many peeps.
One thing really sux though, right b4 i was gonna head home i went to get my nitro tank filled and as they were filling it a burst disk broke and now i got to replace that somehow b4 i can play again. Damn Bulldaog tanks, ive heard of them getting ****ed up b4.
Thats about all i got to say, as if its not enough.

Damm straight :D

Smiles help, but try to be very clear that you are joking when you post something. I have learned that the hard way :D

Yeah I had a problem with my gun as well pet woody they say every autococker comes set from the factory to exacting specs however both mine and my buddies were poorly time the gun would fire great with no paint but as soon as the ram had to work a little harder than usual it wouldn't cock properly I turned the pressure ub on my gun and made sure that when the gun was cocked you could push the back block back and foruth nice and easy (after it was cocked before the cocking point) some people neglect this and they get after market pump arms like I did myself and an aftermarket ram and the aftermarket pump arm didn't quite bend in the correct angle and so if I took my bolt out the back block would cock to the side *****THIS IS NOT GOOD AT ALL********
you must make sure that the back blot willingly stay in place by itself other wise you are using all the leverage that the pump arm give you to try and cock the ram side inside the rams bore. Make sure the pump arm does not want to stick out to the side when you take the back block off!
Further more if your back block sticks back and the trigger sticks back when this happens the trigger spring needs to be stretched a little or atleast these are the problems I encountered. Please take the time to read the autococker info sheets it doesn't cover everything but cover a hell of alot!

please note for 99-2001 there have been slight yet profound changes to these info sheets at the bottom of that page read carefully and you will be in good shape... after reading this page I can actually out shoot my hopper for the first time ever since I have had the gun....finally it works

yea, i guess i need to learn the trigger alittle better.
i would be able to do that but my damn tank broke so i cant do that until i get it fixed.
