    Poll: MAGS vs COCKERS

    VOTE IN THE POLL ABOVE.
    There has been a debate with mags vs cockers since the begining of time.
    Mags shoot really fast, Cockers shoot really accurately.
    So, would you rather have the extreemly rapid-shooting capabilities of the mag or the deadly accuracy of the cocker?

    Unfortunatly, the cocker is no more accurate than any other gun, its the paint to barrel match that primarily governs accuracy, any two guns using the same barrel, with the same paint under perfect conditions, both will shoot just as accuratly... isnt physics fun

      I can see why you would think that, but i disagree. I have a spyder compact and a 68 automag with 2 All American barrels (standard bore size). 1 for each of them. I always use marbs or el tigre paintballs. My automag is noticably more accurate than my spyder.

        Thats because they're not firing the same FPS. Your Spyder does not have an internal regulator like the Mag. Mag=more consistant=more accurate

          i voted mag cuz i use a rt. but i like cockers too. they just have to much that can go rong in my opinion.

          as far as acuracy. tecnicly they are the same due to phisics. we now that back spin can help thow. i have alwayse wondered if the way the air hits the balls on certain guns actuly causes backspin. which would help and keep with the laws of phisics. just a cureasity i have.
          Sorry for the spelling. Im still working on it.

            Mags VS Cockers

            Who wants to mess with the timing and leaky 3-ways on a cocker? Cockers are not reliable like Mags are. Cockers have external moving parts. Anyways Mags with Warp Feeds and Intelliframes beat the hell out of cockers anyways.

              I'm a new mag owner and was thinking about getting an intelliframe and warp feed so i could intellifeed my mag. How much does this help, is this complicated, and is it worth the $.

                If you don't have a ReTro Valve, then don't get a warp-feed. Get a ricochet because chances are, you won't be shooting fast enough to out-shoot a ricochet. They are pretty fast loaders. But, the intelliframe is a great idea, I havent used one, but I have been hearing great things left and right about them. BTW, you dont need to intelli a ricochet, so dont waste your time. Im not sure whether or not you need to intelli a warp-feed or not, but i think it helps some . Intelliframe is worth it. AGD has a manual on how to intellifeed a warp and it shouldnt be too hard.

                  The warp's fast feed rate is one good benefit. Moving the hopper into a better location is another, and in itself a worthwhile reason to get a warp.

                    Not to mention being able to fire with your marker sideways and upside down.

                        Mags do'nt shoot faster than Cockers, because markers do'nt fire themselfs. Its totaly dependent on the user. Heck, most people can shoot Cockers faster than Mags so i do'nt know what your talking about.

                        As far as accuracy goes... Cockers only shoot more accuratly if your a Cocker shooter. Mags are more accurate if your a Mag shooter. Angels are more accurate if your an Angel shooter. It's the style of the person is what really matters.

                        Do'nt say i'm making this up because i own a Mag. In fact, i don't own any Mags right now. I shoot a custom Autococker, but I have owned two Mags before (Classic and RT).

                          ok here we go again

                          i just came home from a sup air tourney and there were lots of different markers there all were shooting accurate,consistant lines of paint..
                          electros had a higher rate of fire but i could out shoot some of em with my mag(rate of fire)it all depends of your trigger finger,as far as intellifeed goes my team mate has a cocker with the same setup as me so there is no problem doing it to most markers(it only mounting a switch)..
                          the best way to atain accuracey is to match paint to barrel
                          it workes and all the "pro"players i talk to swear by it..

                            well, ya, then that would be a determening factor of the accuracy of the gun, i could get a stock angel and say the groupign was 12", then get a talon and put $500 into it and it'd be more accurate than an angel, so i guess talons are better than angels, since a 'mag comes STOCK with a A.I.R valve reg, then it shouldnt be counted against it

                              I would have to say mag,becuase you didnt state wiether they were both stock,or what.If you had an emag,you could fire more faster than cocker obviously.ACURRACY BY VOLUME
