basic newb questions....

Sorry im sure you guys get this stuff alot...but i got a shocker im trying to sell... And well, i had no problem with the shockers weight, or cleaning it before and after playing, but whats up with a matrix..? Is it hard cleaning them? Are they very complicated, like a cocker or something, or are they pretty user friendly? About how many shots do you get from a 88 ci 3000 psi? Sorry for the dumb questions, you get alot, but please bear wtih me, i wanna get one. :)

If you're a newbie, what are you doing w/ a shocker? And a nitro?

um....i never said i was a newb...i said i was asking newb questions about a gun i know nothing about..hence: i come into this forum to ask about this gun.

Well, I apologize for that assumption. I've just never seen a shocker thread in a newbie section.

they are easy to take apart and clean. I really should get a better faq put up on here (mental note:pm sid about that). the only thing you have to worry about is making sure that all o-rings have lube on them, and that the #9 and #10 o-rings are different sizes, so you've got to do trial and error until you find the right o-ring size, I forget how many o-rings there are right now, but now a heck of a lot. the only real problem(s) that I see with a matrix is the gas consumption, the really really terrible regs that come stock. both the beehive, and the centerflag can crap out on you, in fact I just had my beehive crap out on me just a few days ago. as for how many shots:if you've used that on your shocker, then a bit more then that, again can't remember exact amount but I think uhhhhhh..........uhhhhhh.............550 (big guess there).
