Unregistered User Friday, March 8th, 2002 Period of Product Use: 6 months 4 of 4 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: More than 5 years Similar Products Used: Palmer Cocker, stock WGP 98 Cocker, 96 Evo & 95 Bob Long Cocker. Out of all those Cockers, I would put only the Palmer in the same league as the SFL when it comes to performance. As for looks, the SFL has 'em all beat. Marker Setup: Matrix (LED w/ pushbutton) with AA Messiah @ sub-200psi input. Trinity reg, High Efficiency (Red & Blue) bolt kit. AA Armageddon 68ci 4500psi, no drop forward, set at 800psi. Palmer Cocker same, except AA Vigilante @ 325psi input. Lapco, Custom Products and DYE aluminum barrels of various bore sizes. 12V Revies w/X-boards and 6-arm paddles. Recommended Upgrades: You will need a really high flowing air system. I've had best luck with a double regulated system, esp. the AA Messiah or Vigilante as the secondary reg. You can go with a cheaper, fixed nitro system, but do NOT compromise on the secondary reg. Interestingly, the new SFL's on BBT's website are pictured with the AA Messiah, which is esp. designed for high flow, low pressure (sub-500psi) output. Get a 12V Revolution or Ricochet, but you don't need a Halo or Warp Feed. The SFL is light, so why bog yourself down with a heavy, force feed loader? Besides, the SFL can't fire fast enough to justify those loaders. Strengths: It's true - it really is Super *&^*ing Light. A nice treat, considering most closed bolt guns tend to be on the portly side. Jaw-droppingly gorgeous. The picture here doesn't do it justice. The one I owned also had the same milling and green to black fade. Beautiful. Quality parts. You won't be disappointed with the front pneumatics or internals. All of Shocktech's best. Precisely assembled. Tight feel and leak free. Usual Cocker accuracy. It's a pleasure to snapshoot with the SFL. Efficient shot count, thanks to the Rat Valve. Weaknesses: The price is very high. If you're used to fast-firing electro's, you may be disappointed at the relatively heavy trigger of the SFL. It's a very different style if you're coming from an Angel or Matrix. The SFL's trigger spring is even heavier than a stock WGP, to allow the trigger plate to return fast. If you're not used to this, it could be bothersome. Related to the heavy trigger is that you probably won't be able to fire it as fast as an electro. If you want accuracy, the SFL is for you. If you want ROF at the Angel or Matrix level, then get an Angel or Matrix. Conclusion: Really light, gorgeous, great parts, well built. Accuracy is typical Cocker - great for snapshooting. Use a top notch nitro system and secondary reg in order to do the Rat Valve justice. High price. Heavy trigger allows rapid trigger return, but players who are used to electro's may find they can't fire the SFL as fast. The SFL is a Cocker for the closed bolt fan, who doesn't want an electro's ROF. Rating: 10 out of 10 I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment

Unregistered User Saturday, March 23rd, 2002 Period of Product Use: 6 months 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 1 year Similar Products Used: i had a tippmann and then went to this but i've shot many high grade cockers and electros. Marker Setup: i have the green to black fade shocktech sfl with a chrome angel regulator and all chrome pneumatics a kapp cradle with a 12vlt. rev. aswell as a green ricochet and 68ci/3000psi nitro duck tank (carbon fiber wrapped, clear stickies and matching anodised 14" boom stick Recommended Upgrades: you cannot upgrade this gun, exept a new trigger frame like a pivot but you can order yours with it. but it's so fast you don't need it Strengths: best damn gun in the world!! it is very smooth and snappy trigger; you can definitly crank the balls out... it is in my oppinion the best looking gun due to the fact u order evrything on it. very reliable it can take a dive and come out with out a scratch (good paint, and anodizing) even the barrel that comes with it is awesome shoot diablo blaze perfectly !!!you cant beat this acccuracy, seriously!!! you always get tips of barrels and pieces of hopper best gun i couldn't even think of one thing to make it better Weaknesses: nothing is bad. Conclusion: bets gun i have ever shot and i've shotten a lot.... very light weight so you forget ure using after a while and it becomes an extension of ure arm (2.0lbs.) i think Rating: 10 out of 10 I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment

padrinot Monday, July 14th, 2003 Period of Product Use: Less than a month Paintball Experience: More than 5 years Similar Products Used: sto ,evolution , freeflow Marker Setup: i use a dark angel , sfl cocker, and evolution cocker Recommended Upgrades: a good reg, the P.E. reg that comes with it is not really top of the line as you would expect Strengths: this maker is super *ucking light as advertised Weaknesses: it should have a one piece front block and ASA combo Review: have mine set up with a single trigger rolling sear , and the trigger is SMOOTH it has one of the best rolling sear triggers i have felt , next to the evolutions ! the big key selling point of this marker is that it is fully upgraged as is (with exception to the reg ) Shocktech machines all their parts well , the bolt is delrin so it never needs lubed .also i am always aware that there are only a few threads holding on the ASA , if i were to custom build this marker i would want a solid one piece front block ans ASA the timing of this marker is tight and if you get one you should know yourself or know some one that can time an autococker . also i found that i had to turn the inlet pressure to 350 psi as with my evolution i can run at < 250 . but with all that said i can say this I HaVE YET TO BREAK A BALL WITH THE SFL , and for the price should come with a lifetime warrenty from shocktech instead of just one year Conclusion: if your looking for a light marker with all the upgrades included then get the SFL ! also i cant type for *hit so if there are spelling errors in the post so be it i would have given higher rating but ten is only for the best marker in the class and in cockers it is not the SFL it is the EVOLUTION so i gave the review a 9 Rating: 9 out of 10 I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment

Unregistered User Thursday, May 23rd, 2002 Period of Product Use: 1 year Paintball Experience: More than 5 years Similar Products Used: freak factory impulse, sto cocker, adrenalin angel, ironmen angel, dye cocker, free-flow cocker,eclipse led angeland an e-mag Marker Setup: blue to silver fade 2K1 Shocktech SFL mini-cocker w/ vert. feed; and eclipse blade trigger frame, matching boomstick and freak, shochtech drop foward, 68/4500 max-flo and a slight trigger job. Recommended Upgrades: a freak barrel and a 12v hopper w/ an x-board and a max-flo Strengths: Its one of the lightest and most reliable cockers on the market today. I love the efficiency of the gun too. I can shoot a case of paint on one fill. Because of this gun more than half of my teammates have started shooting autocockers. But I think the real reason is beacuse I was gogging them from cross field and they were feed up with that so they had to get one too. Look at what I started. Weaknesses: Could be milled down a little bit more other than that its perfect Conclusion: If your thinking of getting a Shocktech cocker don't hesitate just buy it you'll be glad you did I know I am an the hundreds of others that have bought a Shocktech autococker are too.

p8ntballMerc Wednesday, March 13th, 2002 Period of Product Use: 6 months Paintball Experience: 4 years Similar Products Used: -Minimag -Automag RT -99 R/F Cocker -2k Element Angel -2k1 Adrenalin LCD Marker Setup: Pewter engraved SFL. With spiral WDP mini-reg, Eclipse pivot trigger, 14 and 10 inch. boomer, Shocktech drop w/ KAPP on/off ASA, and a PMI 68/30 pure energy. Recommended Upgrades: None. It's comes perfect when you get it. The rest are just preference. Strengths: -Accurate -Compact -fast(if you have fast trigger finger) -Shoots great The marker is geat. My old set up on it had a Centerflag reg and a Shocktech swing was awsome, it was very vey consitant,evn with te screw in tank. The single trigger was nice too, but too many people use it and like it, but can never get used to the sliding trigger, so I switched to the swings for the sake of the untalented. Hardly chopped. Weaknesses: Nothing at all. But for some people since its a cocker, needs to get used t the sliding trigger or buy a swing. The price also is a problem for some people, but theres alot more expensive markers. Conclusion: I would recomend buying this marker. But if it doesn't fit in your price range,you can always get the normal Shocktech cocker. The SFL can duke it out and can handle games with the fast electros out there, like e-mags and angels. Its a pretty effective marker if you can handle it. Rating: 10 out of 10 I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment

I bought mine for 1399.99 because I got mine with a swing trigger instead of standard single. $ = buy no $ = save up to buy Rating: 10 out of 10 I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment
