Wow...
That's describes it all. I had a stock front end, and after i got this baby slapped on my marker, it was a whole new world. The switch length is EXTREMLY small. I got mine down to 1.5mm (In the timing window), the only reason why i could not get it down to 1mm was because my timing rod is bent, which causes the 3-way to leak (To be fixed shortly).
The ram causes the back block to just JET backwards after each extremely short trigger pull, and the regulator lets me get down to lower pressure.
I was amazed on how short my trigger could go, i had to set my trigger stop very very short, which allows me to totally rip. |

|
| Strengths: |
fast ram, light 3-way, good color variety |
|
| Weaknesses: |
people like to mess with the LPR knob |
|
| Review: |
very good, faster, lighter, all around better. That plus the turquoise blue actually matches my matte blue gun.. tacky...
The biggest downside is that people tend to turn the knob on the LPR, and it gets pretty annoying having to replace the 3-way hoses over and over, but there's probably something you can do about that, too. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Definatly a good first upgrade, though a new barrel would be first, this will lighten the trigger alot, and even though the pull's not drastically shorter, the combination is still noticable.
As I've mentioned time and time again, people who don't know anything about the LPR tend adjust the knob, not knowing what they're doing. So, you'll end up blowing a few 3-way hoses and deafining yourself for a few minutes, then waiting for the ringing to go away. If you're a smart enough player to not touch, then you should be fine. Good kit, I recomend it. |

| Review: |
I got this professionally installed at my shop, Queen City Paintball. It took alittle while for all of my parts to come in, but it was sooooooo worth it. I can rip like nerver before. the cam took the pull done to like nothing and its sooooo light.. sooo smoth its unreal!!! If u look at the back block from the side while im ripping, u only see a blur, u cant see the individual open and close of the bolt and back block, im gona need an eggy but most likely a halo......its so fast i still cant belive it.....its expensive but its sooooooooooooo worth it ur a tourney or soon to be tourney baller. i definetley recommend getting the entire front end kit that shockteck makes!!!!! it will solve ur rate of fire and short stroke problems in a hurry. no more chops off the break muking up ur whole game and maybe costing you the game and maybe the tourney!!! its efficient, fast, smooth, light, anything and everything u could want!!!! GO BUY IT!!! GO BUY IT NOW!!!!!!! |
|
| Conclusion: |
GO BUY THIS NOW!!!!! U WONT BE SORRY!!!!!!!!! |

| Review: |
well its sweet and it functions well and good performance, but they loctite everything down so much that you can barely get anything off. it took me 30 minutes to get the bomb 3 way off (because it was leaking so bad i couldn't use it), and by the time it was off, the barbs were all ripped off and it was useless. |
|
| Conclusion: |
if you want good performance go for it, but beware of its reliability. |

| Review: |
upon the previous, strong recommendations, i purchased the shocktech front pneumatic kit for a really reasonable price expecting a fairly simple installation. however, i quickly found that the marker did not work once i put the kit on the front of my marker. shocktech technical support was fairly helpful and told me that the hose configuration on the 3-way and ram needed to be changed because i have a hinge trigger on my cocker. however, they did not specify the ideal setting for the trigger mechanism to be lined up in the 3-way and the factory installation team bungled the installation of the reg because the hose fitting was screwed in too tight and the reg itself was leaking air and therefore needed lock-tite.
once the kit was installed properly, the marker performs like a dream. looks good (better than the stock brass stuff) and the ram moves the back block VERY quickly. my rate of fire has gone up and the overall operating pressure of the marker is down considerably. |
|
| Conclusion: |
a considerable upgrade from the stock front block, 3-way, ram and reg. the rating would've been higher if not for the complications with installation. |

| Review: |
I Love this product it has great efficiency and a nice short smooth pull. The action is also alot smoother than stock. I believe that this is a great upgrade to add to yur cocker. I believe that this is an intrigaral part that make the auto cocker. i have also tried the system x vengeance tournament marker and i believe the system x front end is better. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy it. it maybe on the expen sive side but save and buy.
And if my man rocket sees this hi i bnkrd you heheheeeee |

ANS front end |

| Marker Setup: |
Custom Blue and Nickel Autococker, Shocktech front end kit, J&J 2-piece, ANS X-2 reg. Kapp 45 frame, AKALMP Lightning Bolt. other shocktech stuff, 68ci nitro, revy with x-board |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
Gets great timing on any cocker, and keeps it in for a while. It has a screw on the top of the FGP front reg that holds you setting. The bomb 3-way and the ram work really smooth, and are way more reliable than the ANS system. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Like all autocockers, you have to worry about them going out of time. But with this one you don't have to worry about it that much. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I think this is overall the best front end kits for the cocker, it's functionability and adjustability are better than the competition. Plus, you know that shocktect knows what they're doing, since it's pretty much team aftershock. |
