Which one of these guns should I get
shockers all the way. they come great and there is no need for upgrades unless you want the gadget grip. they come with AA barrels, and maxflow regulators, so it is consistant and accurate. you can't go wrong with a shocker.

definately shocker, though if it does go out of production, that would suck for you, or maybe it will go up in value once they get realy rare, but then you probaby wouldn't want to shoot it very much....
but anyway, shocker's a better marker definately

Bushmaster. Better Trigger job, not as heavy or as much of a gas hog, plus 100+ upgrades. Ask July.

the shocker reg and guun are waaaay to tell the max flow may be a good reg but it adds way to much height o the gun. and the socker barrel is 16 inches long so I really dont know what your going to do with that. You WILL need a 68 4500 PCI no 3000psi because it is a ddanm hog.

Well, I have owned and used both a 1st and 4th gen Bushy and was moderately pleased with both. Upgraded the 4th gen Bushy with Sonic LPR, Gladiator reg+Conquest (then Conquest with gas-thru), and a Lapco Bigshot barrel. It shot pretty good and fast, too. Then a friend of mine bought a Shocker and I shot it a bit. Wow! I bought myself a Shocker within a couple of weeks after that. It just seemed more...right. Felt more solid, more stable and "seemed" to have better range and accuracy, definitely more quiet and with less recoil. I know the physics behind projectile range and accuracy. I use my 68/4500 Conquest on the Shocker and the gas hasn't been noticeably worse than the Bushy. Honest! Both my friend's Shocker and mine are definitely more consistent over the chronograph and consistency is a VERY important component.
The Bushmaster is a good gun, but the Shocker is a better one and worth the extra $130 or so. To each his own.

but you must realize that the shocker is way too big to play front. The bushmaster is lighter and smaller because its made for a font row player but it can be used for back> I think the shocker is a back gun and the impulse / bushmaster are both front guns and thats why SP put out that impulse.

Personally I like the Bushmaster better (Thats y I bought it) since I am a front player and it is so light. Also the Bush is much more upgradeable than the shocker. (I need an upgradeable gun to stay interested.) It all depends on preference. Go shoot the guns yourself, don't rely on polls.

I don't understand the point of a powerfeed on a shocker besides to lighten your wallet...

it is just easier for left handed players....its prefrence.

Don't they make left hand bodies?
Or you could get a left conversion which would be better...
I see mostly right handed players shooting them. Makes no sense, there is no blowback from the gun...ah whatever, if SP can make alot of money off people for no good reason, let em :)

i got my shocker a month ago and i love it i don't know why u peep's say the barrel is to long i measured it with my trusty tape and it was a 15 inch and the gun is not big i mean it's big compared to a mag but so is every other gun and if it is so big to you just put a vertical reg setup on it and buy a smaller barrel oh yeah i have the 4X4 with powerfeed and air assist air assist is awsome i was holding the gun almost upside down and it was still feeding balls :) and 2000 balls so far and no brakes or chops go with the shocker i even run co2 on mine cuns like a charm u HAVE to spend the extra 200 for nitro on a bushy so in the end a shocker is less expensive than a bushy
