Are Shockers Gas Hogs???

[Nitro]

hey guys,

I just got a phat deal on a shocker last night( Vert shocker, 14"boomy,10"boomy for 350) and was wondering if shcokers were real gas hogs because thats what alot of people have been saying about them. ive got a 68/3000 tank and am a back players so i need to be able to shoot alot, maybe 700 a game, and was wondering if i could make it, the gun is sweet though, the guy has a autococker trigger kinda, cockers are awesome and just feels like a electro cocker with that frame :)

Yeap, If Smart parts is the way you wanna go and gas is a real issue, look at the Shockers little brother the Impulse, they're a kickin little machine too!

Even if you are a back player, do you really think you'll be shooting 700 rounds a game? Thats one hopper and 5 pods worth!

i play to win lol, and its not 5 pods for me, its a hopper and a lil over 3 pods with my 150s

I hear ya Nitro! I've been in woods rec games where I've gone thru 850 balls in one game easy!

What kind of gas efficiency do you get on your impulses Kat?

With my 68ci /4500 Armageddon I'll get 900 shoots out of it with a 3K fill

I would go with an 88cu 4500psi tank just to be sure but a 68 should be fine for a game. But remember you cant always get a full fill so with an 88cu the extra space in the tank will give you enough shots despite a smaller pressure.

I'm with shockerdave on this one. Go for the bigger tank.
