I've seen 2 race halfblock, and one was the biggest blender I have ever seen, and that was on its first time out.

Race always seems to have an uncertain future. How about a eblade turtle half block or a martin half block?

ya I would do a turtle if oyu realy want a cocker....they can be HUGE blenders and takes a long time tune correctly....If you do tune it right they freaken rock....but they do weigh a brick.

But serusly If you want realiabilty as well as speed I would get a Xmag

you dont ever have to worry about anything with Xmags...they just work...and they Rip just as much as turtle cockers.

and you dont have to deal with a block at all.....and Xmags are sightly heaver than a 03 shocker.

I have used both guns in Turnys and in Rec and I would choose the Xmag anyday.

But if you want a cocker I would highly Recomend a turtle cocker.

I'd say turtle, I'd use mine anyday over my X. But that's my preference, I like the way is feels and shoots much better.

Granted, it'll change *slightly* with parts, but a midget cocker (mini halfblock with the lower chamber cut flush with the grip frame) with full frontblock, inline reg, gripframe weighs 2.5lbs. I don't know how accurate the information is, but according to this (http://www.pbnation.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=351791) thread, the XMag weighs in at 2.7lbs .. about the same.

Unless you're using tons of bounce, both will shoot faster than you can pull.

According to the site I posted above (again, not sure how reliable / accurate it is), it's at least a pound heavier.

Personally, I plan on getting a Martin halfblock body. From what I've heard, the backblock on the turtles can rub off the anno, and I think it's just more expensive all around.

As nice as the X-Mag is, I feel it's overpriced. I think it's a better idea to ULE an E-Mag... but I <3 'Cockers too.

Get the 'Cocker if you wanna have something to play with, 'Mag if you want it to work no matter what you do with it.
