|
| Review: |
the freeflow shocker is an overall success... if you buy the best version (the "FE" one) u recieve a lpr, bolt kit, freak barrel (ehh), custom trigger, eye, clamping rise, etc.... the gun is very accurate, very fast, and drops the shockers reputation for being a gas hog with the freeflow bolt kit... the best part about the deal is u get unlimited upgrades and warantee for life... thats just straight up amazing and could only b offered by freeflow... i suggest purchasing a new drop, well actually a unimount or a rail and an ultralite cuz i really dislike the freak but others dont... i would highly suggest purchasing the gun... its beautiful and contains nething else u would want in a high performance gun |
|
| Conclusion: |
Amazing gun... not many cons... buy it... no im serious get ur ass out and buy it... wait forget it... keep it rare |

| Review: |
These guns are amizing, that is the only way to describe them. I've seen these guns personally put togeather in FreeFlow NY, and they take awesome care when putting the guns togeather.
The milling on these is outstanding, and not to mention the Freeflow warrenty wich is the best on the market.
If you have the cash and are looking for a PL shocker deffinatly go with the FreeFlow FE shocker, best on the market and you wont be dissapointed. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Best shocker Ive ever used, and its all backed up by the outstanding FreeFlow warrenty. |

Smart Parts does not make a good drop forward, replacing this up front makes the marker more streamlined. |

Heavier then stock model, Smart Parts assembly job poor, gas-hog |

| Review: |
This is the first 3rd party shocker. Freeflow has done a great job with a classic design, it feels MUCH better then a stock shocker, but its still a shocker. The shocker element is still with this marker no matter what you can do. There are some good things about this marker, yes it has better efficiency, no it won't out beat a timmy or anything else in its price range. The marker feels more like an experement because the trigger area is still small and its not perfect yet. Over-all the marker is decent and it does perform when needed. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Good Product, worth the bit of extra money + you'll be MUCH happier then using a stock 2k3. Don't forget that Freeflow as a lifetime warranty and upgrades! That alone makes the deal sweeter! |

well i had every upgrade and it still shot like crap |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
Fast(but half the time you chop)
light(there are lighter guns now)
|
|
| Weaknesses: |
Choped about every 50th ball at least
just read the review
|
|
| Review: |
OK where do I start
I have about every upgrade that you can buy for the shocker.
These are the problems i had
1. Choped alot. i had it tuned. didnt help. i put new dedents in it. didnt help(YES i had new eyes) Also i was using a HALO B with rip at the time
2. unaccurate. balls swerve and a rope isnt that effective
3. Trigger frame. I dont have huge hands or fingers but the trigger frame on shockers are just way to small.
4. Reg. The stock maxflow is ok but im not talking about that. The reg is so close to the trigger frame that you have to hold the reg at the bottom-middish part if the reg or grab the barrel.
I was looking forward to having a really nice shocker. I wanted it to be my gun for a long time but i hated it. I used it for about a month until i had it with the gun. sold it for 525 to get it away from me.
I just got back from the field today. My Angel ONE is on its way but i wanted to play. So i grabed my bros ion. I was suprised. 2 chops all day. |
|
| Conclusion: |
i would not recommend a SHOCKER AT ALL. I wanted to love my shocker but it just sucked. A PM6 or 05 ego is now the same price as uped shockers. Get one of those or if ya have the money get the Angel one. |

| Review: |
Yet again freeflows takes an average marker, not only average but quite poor (what can you expect from SP) and makes it amazing. The freeflow shocker is simply amazing and uncomparable to stock shockers. It's quite expensive but it's worth every penny. I love mine and wouldnt want any other thing. I dont like the trigger, but hey i can just make one and there would be nothing i could complain about. Truly amazing! |
|
| Conclusion: |
Looking for a shocker? Go freeflow! |

| Review: |
bought this gun on ebay about 6 months ago and can with stock board and bolt (freelow v3) was not really impressed with bolt so i kept the firing can and got a nox kilo 2 bolt. wow that made a huge diffrence i get great shots per fill now. I have no solid numbers but it's a huge diffrence. up graded to a hater board w/ symbio combo for my Halo. now it's a perfect gun. Shoots lazers from corner to corner. and now i am a back player (getting older and the local 14 year olds are running me ragged) with this i can cover my crazy front players well easy to shoot left or right handed. and the tragectory is very pridicable. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great gun and form my opinion very worth the money i spent. Good luck in finding one there getting really rare. |

| Review: |
So a kid on my team has one of these and my gun wasnt working one day so he let me use it. All i can say is wow. This thing was extremely accurate and fast, and with a blackheart in it, shot even faster. The trigger was a little weird but once yu get used to it its fine. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get it if you can find one. These are very rare and shoot very well. If you can, get a new frame and or trigger |

| Review: |
I love my free flow shocker, it never broke down on me, its freaking amazing.
I thought free flow could've given a nicer stock board with it. I didnt like the stock nerve ramping board, it would take for ever to get it tuned right.
I love how easy it is to lube this gun, all you need is to take the bolt guide out, and push the internals out.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
If you ever get one, keep it, dont ever trade it, these free flows will worth a ton of resale value since free flow went out of business, and as rare as these are.... priceless |
