WHY IS Every one wanting a cocker?

[magman007]

I want one personally cuz it has an awesome trigger and i love the feel of it compared to the mag, dont get me wrong i love my mag but the cocker trigger is just intriguing! plus cockers are more "hot rodable" any ways what are your reasons?

my opinion on cockers is that they arent as reliable as mags. this one guy at the field never could get just take out his cocker and play, he had to miss like 3 games every time he played. that just isnt right. u like cocker triggers butter, why? longer trigger pull, harder to not chop balls. it is a lot easier to half-stroke with a cocker. i have a 2x trigger on my mag, i never chop paint with it. but i have to admit that electro cockers r better than mags. if u get a cocker get an electro

I love the sliding trigger! thats all, i could care less for the noise or perforlmace, what i really want is that sliding trigger! if agd made a sliding trigger for mags i would be in love! it is just that intriguing sliding trigger that i love!

A sliding trigger for a mag.... now that I think about it, it wouldnt be that hard for a company to do.... hmmmmm..... very interesting....

When in doubt, duck. When certain, don't bother, you're already screwed.

i dun really know . . . i just like Cockers more.

When I first decided to get a top end gun I went out and bought a cocker because everyone was raving about the accuracy and ROF. I owned that gun for 7 days. That's how long it took me to realize I wasn't an airsmith, or jr. airsmith even. Cockers have like 120 internal parts. Mags work on less than 10. The way I see it, cockers are 12 times more likely to breakdown. I sold my cocker and got the EMAG. Best thing I did for my game. If you like working on things get a cocker, if you'd rather be playing the game..........You gotta stick with a mag.

I never thought I'd see you ay this Bill! GAH! IT makes me mad. I've heard all the excuses "The moving thingy" "it makes a cool sound" and everything.. it makes me mad.
Mags, in my opinion are more reliable than cockers, You don't have to time mags.

I don't know. I love the feel of mags. I just got to trigger job on my ReTro, and got some stuff so it;s better now than ever.

But.....I'm not sure if I'd ever get a cocker. their just...I don't know... off to me

ReTro Mag.....well..kinda

[Muzikman]

Well...I own both. And Magman007 I do beleive you saw my Typhocker, right? Well, sliding triggers suck. It's kinda strange, for years everyone wanted a Pivot trigger, and now after they came out with pivot triggers for cockers, every one wants a sliding trigger. It's never going to stop!!! But, to be quite honest, if you can shoot a sliding trigger better than a pivot, then more power to you. I could never get the hang of it.

BTW...the reason I like cockers (or atleast my Typhocker) is the smooth trigger. But I had to spend mucho bucks to get my cocker the way I like it.

.... ugh... super soaker trigger..

well now that i finally played a game with a cocker,, i want one too.. i like the trigger pull.

[lonelymag]

Ive shot all types of cockers and the way I see it is this: if you have a sweet cocker, nicely tuned and you know how to maintain it. then you have got a very nice gun. But if you don't have the time to learn how to fix them, the money to replace all the busted parts and find the right reg or whatever, then they are a pain in the booty. I love my mag cause ive never had a problem i couldn't fix in 1 minute on the field.

[Arturus]

It's amazing what marketing to the mass can accomplish these days. Put that together with rumors of superior accuracy and consistency, along with what's "in" and "cool".

And tada! Everyone wants one before they know it.



Factor that out and it's usually down to preference. Although I admit I like the feel of a cocker's trigger-pull, I won't be changing to one anytime soon.

I think it has a lot to do with hype. It's like guys who play golf. When the newest, biggest driver comes out on the market everyone has to have one because they think it's going to make them a better player. I I think it's true with paintball markers as well.

If you have the coolest, most recognizable marker on the field you're going to get noticed and everyone is going to want to talk to you. You may even fool yourself into thinking you're even a better player than you really are. You're feeding your own ego. There's nothing wrong with that.

As for me, I'd much rather have a Sunrise Faded E-Mag because if I'm going to spend that kind of money, I don't want to have to spend a small fortune to get it to work the way I want. I also don't want to learn how to become an airsmith so I can service my own gear.

I think cockers are reliable, I've owned 7, still have my first one (what can I say, I couldn't sell my first gun) which I completly upgraded, not a stock part left on it, cept for a few screws, I've never had it go down on me, and I've had it for 4 years. Out of all the cockers I've owned the biggest problem I had was jamming, and it only happend once in a used gun I bought, all I had to do was pull on the bolt hard and it was working again, easy to do in a game.

Actually my only complaint about cockers is all the nooks and crannies they have, you have to use a Q-tip to clean out the front if it get's hit.
