I'd say 'cockers are just as easy, at least if you're pulling it apart completely. They're not tougher, just more spread out and it takes more tools

Sorry but I have to throw the BS flag on this. Maybe an experienced tech could but not Joe Noob off the street. -
Well, it was just as easy for me, at least. I'm fairly mechanically inclined, though, so it all just makes sense to me and I've never had any trouble learning to strip down any marker. Still, it's not very tough. You can see most of parts right in front of you before you even start. And if a knowledgable tech-type teaches someone how to strip down a 'cocker, it should be pretty easy to learn.Comment

Wow... there hasn't been a Mag vs. Cocker thread in a while.

Mags are a barrel with a grip attached to it, and a little simple mechanism that is installed in the rear of the barrel to make the paintballs travel.
Cockers are a tad more complicated. Well, maybe more than a tad...
Same results, only one is simple and one is complex. Do the math.Comment

Right, but simple means you can't tinker so much if you're that type. Not much to mess with in a 'mag valve, but the 'cockers got loads of aftermarket goodies. Pneumatics, internals, you name it. The 'mag has the ULT and the X-Valve. Of course, you could argue the Automag has so few internal upgrades because it's perfect...Comment

i used to have a mag heres a pic of it

i actually like my cocker more, even though it hurts to say ti, cause that mag was my first gun ever, and it won me alot of games and respectComment

Why exactly do you like it better than your Mag?Originally posted by Infurious1Comment

Ugh, a Trilogy? Damn dude, that's barely even a real 'cocker.
EDIT: Not a Trilogy, I'm just stupid. Dunno why I thought the hose was coming out of the foregrip and totally didn't see the 3-way...Last edited by ThePixelGuru; 04-14-2006, 02:05 PM.Comment

that' not a trilogy (i think).
I though the trilogy has an unadjustable 3-way(actually 4-way). That one clearly has a standard 3-way with the trigger rod just running thru the the grip.
BTW: is that the new '06 swing frame? They look nice but i've never shot one. How do those '06 frames shoot?Comment

05 prostock, looks like the stock 05 wgp hinge frame, i love my mag way more than my too-many-things-can-go-wrong cocker.Comment

no, in all seriousness and referring to the topic question: "Is an apple like an orange?" They are both nice guns. Some state the "mags = no timing and no hassle". I had a cocker, I really liked it too. You wanna know why i liked it so much? I didnt f#$% with it. The major problem is kids like /\the above who get one because its shiny and its got lots of parts. Never once do they think about the functions of it, the way it works or the fact taht they are SOL usually when they do take it apart. Mags arent bad guns either, I have a Dallara'd Hyper Xvalved Custom mag(thread somewhere in pb talk). If i had the cash and I didnt like my old school 2001 Dark Angel Pred, I would go and rebuild a nice little raceframed cocker.RAWR

Cant help it
some people like my self cant help but to take things apart or to build them to find out how they work......i built mine to have a better knowing about them....they are not as much as a hassele as people make them out to be.......just dont bash them around..
...
this is the 1 i am building
body is still raw just polished untill i figure out a color to anno it....
but this is one of my fav.
both are fast

i wasnt an idiot and didnt mess with anything, but things like chopping, more places to leak, eventual un-timing without thread lock, short stroking (alot easier on cocker), veloctiy adjusting is a pain (w/o dialer), the list goes on.
and then theres always the mystery autococker accuracy, which for the most part is untrue, i dont know how this came to be, really good hype i guessComment
