Getting Meself a shocker...what do y'all think (Warning: This thang is UGLY!)

[Mossman]

hey guys! I'm picking up a 2000 shocker with glacier board for 250 bucks or so. Comes with cut frame and 2x trigger, dye sticky grips, glacier board, all american barrel, and teardrop barrel.

The guy stripped the anno off cuz he was gonna get it annoed, but he never got around to it. Thus, this thing is UGLY! I'm planning on sanding and polishing it to a mirror shine, and it will be my own pretty, cheap, chromish looking shocker.

Without further ado, the crappy and disgusting picture

[Skoad]

it looks like a cement block with a handle

[BTAutoMag]

good deal but if i were you id put some spice into it. youre right it is ugly

[Mossman]

LOL.....yes, very very ugly. He said the pics dont do it justice, but I dont see how it could look 1/2 decent. Only very rarely does any shocker look decent. Anyhow, when I get the nerve to take it apart, i might toss it into crazy ivan's next anno batch. Any color beats no color right. If i buffed it to a mirror shine though....mmm...mmm...mmm, that could be a pretty gun (almost), witha nice silver body, black everythng else, and clear stickies.

The way this coud turn out sweet would be if I sold the 2 barrels, got a freak back for shocker and maybe 15 bucks. I could probably sell the vertical maxflow for 75, then I'd have 90. The gun is costing me 240 or so, 240-90 =150. I could possibly rig up a gas thru, and run my maxflow straight in there with a long hose. Then I would have a 150 dollar shocker running off the maxflow I already have, and a freak back with the tip and inserts I already have. Has the makings of a bargain :)

[Mossman]

w00t, its final. Money's going out tomorrow.

[MajorDamage]

Sweet deal dude! Way to go!

ENDO!

[Tunaman]

Good deal...and Shockers DO shoot real nice. Just get a big tank.:D

[Sqweezer]

Your going to sell the vertical max-flow then run it horizontal? You would have to buy another maxflow then, in which case you will end up spending more than before. Even if your talking about the kit to mount it vertically, that will sell for ~$30, then you will have to buy a smart parts manifold to run it horizontal. I run my shocker vertical, I like it and I suggest you consider it if you haven't.

The worthwhile upgrades, if you don't know already, are the werm v2 delerian bolt, the hyper frame(www.hypersportworks.com)/werm frame(www.wermmods.com), and of course a freak.

NICE deal by the way..

[shartley]

LOL Yup, that IS one ugly chunk of Marker. ;)

Okay.. it shoots well… So what? Personally I would never own a great shooting marker that looked ugly. Think of it like sex… even ugly partners can be good in bed, but why settle for ugly when it is SO easy to get a good looking partner? :D:D:D Same with Markers. ;)

Just kidding, on MOST of my post.. but it does have truth to it. ;)

Hope you have a great time with it… I am sure you will.

[giant1515]

even SO easy to get a pretty woman? hmm I had to work like hell to get mine

guess I spend all my time at work or in class though so it does make things a bit different... being at work at 7 every morning kinda detracts from the night life :)


on topic though, shockers are all ugly pretty much, though I've seen a few from HSW that were almost ok.

[bond1313]

Who are you buying it from.

[AllAmericanMag]

I just bought a 2002 Yellow Vertical Feed Shocker and I'm Extreeeeeeemely happy with it. Mine's alot prettier than that though :D

hey my gfs pretty and since she asked me out it was easy too:D

[cphilip]

Ugly chicks work harder! :)

Nice deal on the Marker. You could always do a powder coat pretty cheap?

[Mossman]

The thing about running a horizontal maxflow...I already have a maxflow 68/3000. Theres no sense in having 2 maxflows when 1 is enough, so I coudl sell the vert. one and get some money.

Come to think of it, I dont think ive ever seen a silver shocker. This could be interesting :)

[FutureMagOwner]

i have seen uglier but that is pretty bad maybe in a better light and maybe if it didnt look like thors hammer or something... HEY that gave me an idea you should get blue color and then have lighing strikes and have it spell out THOR on the back!

[pip_999]

why dont you get some
AGD lions on the it

hehe, that would be funny

[Ter-Me-Nate]

it looks like a cement block with a handle

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

well my buddy just bought a brand new smart parts shocker
and although i think its ugly as sheet, when it goes in to turbo mode its scary hehe all you have to do is is pull the trigger about 3bps and wak wak wak wak it kicks in at 11 bps its sweet

he spent about 2000 on the hole setup

shocker 649
custom fad extra 200
2 88ci 4500 tanks at 450 each
and a freak kit with 12in 14in and 16 in front

you can tell the men from the boys by the price of there toys heheh

i agree, my whole setup cost me about 1800 and then i relized i should of gotten an emag, flatline, HLAO and a Warp for the same price:D

[Sqweezer]

Never seen a silver shocker? I have one just like that :). Is your maxflo 3000psi(I'm assuming attatched to a tank) a low or high pressure maxflow? If you used it with most othe rmarkers I'm also assuming here that it is high, so you will need to keep the vert. My silver shocker(with my RT next to it):

[pip_999]

nice shocker
i want a shocker

anyone feels like donating to me
i would be more than happy to give it a free home
where it will be treated with respect

[spazzed]

Shocker's aren't bad guns at all. A friend of mine has one, sounds purty. Can't even hear the damn thing. Sittin' there waiting on someone to pop up then all of a sudden you're getting shot at, no sound. It's great.

[bond1313]

Well after talking to the kid I sold that to. Tht gun used to be mine about 4 months ago its a great gun. I was planing on getting it power coated from redrider but I decided to sell it. Did he give you both barrels the
14inch tear drop barrel british racing green splash and the 16inch AA barrel

[Aliens-8-MyDad]

hey what were u talkin about some kinda ano batch? like the guy that had a deal where u get more people and price per person is cheap? im lookin to get a ano on my mag parts so if this is the same thing can we talk?

[Mossman]

Cool Bond, glad to hear Its back in the AO family :)

I'm really psyched!
and ya, he said hes including both barrels.

Oh, and aliens8mydad, The guys name is Crazy Ivan. I'm pretty sure he has posts up on pbreview. The price is around 60 bucks a person plus shipping both ways for stripping and 1 color Anno. Pretty decent, as redrider fades are 35 plus shipping or so.

woohoo!

[BTAutoMag]

i just thought what would look nice... blue annoing

[pip_999]

BRIGHT GREEN
or
BRIGHT YELLOW

[BTAutoMag]

yea bright yellow i can just see the back players on the other team talking about it during the game...

"what do you want me too shoot at?"
"see that big yellow thing about 100 feet that way?
"yea"
"shoot at it"
"why"
"theres a player behind it"
"there is?"
" yea see he just moved."
"oh ok"
thwak thwak thwak

[pip_999]

"dude is that a light"
"no thats my..."
"turn it off turn it off"
"dude its my gun"
"shhooorrrrre it is"

[BTAutoMag]

"Dude why are you wearing a visor with your mask today?"
"Because it's bright out."
"No it's not, its cloudy, but heres my Bright Yellow Shocker."

[bond1313]

You will love it I have never had a problem with it, but its a little big but extremly quite.

[pip_999]

"dude i cant see anyone"
"look there goes a little yellow box floating"
"think we should call nasa"
"maybe, looks like an alien or something"

lol

[~Backdraft~]

That is UGLY...lol, i dont think i'll ever find out why people will like a shoe box for a paintball gun!...:rolleyes:

[AssassN]

CONGRATS MOSS!!! Hope you like it but ya it's ugly. I'll be shooitng my friends shocker soon and i'll tell you how it is. I am sure it will be hella fast tho. Almost as fast as ur RT #69 lol....... ALMOST!!!!!

[Mossman]

Ya, im still having withdrawal symptoms from good ol' 69

I was thinking if I want to go a nice and good route, I'll get a nuetral blue anno job. If i want to go crazy It will have to be Orange or Mt. Dew Green. Muahahahaha! All depends on my mood when I get around to sending it out.
