    Because if the body had been wide enough, it would have been a pretty easy mod (I think).

    Nobody has ever done it.

    It would confuse the heck out of the newbs. Heck, it would probably confuse the heck out of everyone. Just make a backstory about how it was a prototype from the late 90's cocker/mag wars that incorporated the best parts of both guns and watch people eat it up.

    And mainly, it would increase my paintball awesomeness OVER 9000!!!!!!!

      How would it be easy? Assuming you're using the blowforward valve/bolt as usual, in the lower tube. What will direct it up into the bolt? What will move the bolt forward to seal off the feedneck? There are so many holes in this idea it makes swiss cheese look solid.

        What will direct WHAT up into the bolt? Whats the "it" in that question?

        What will move the bolt forward to move seal off the feedneck? The exact same compressed air that would move the bolt forward when the valve is in a standard mag body.


        . . .


        Wait, what?

        I thought I was pretty clear that the entire valve would be in the upper tube. The only thing that might be in the lower tube would be the sear and sear pin through it.

        I'm not using the cocker bolt or any other cocker parts except for the body. Ream out the back part of the upper tube where the bolt normally sticks into. Then shove the entire mag valve into that hole. When the bolt move forward, it moves straight through the cocker breech towards the barrel, just like in a normal mag body.

            What if someone said you couldn't survive on pie alone? Would you do it just to prove you could?

              Well that's just silly...of course you can survive on pie!

              There's just so many types. Mincemeat pies for protein, fruit pies for vitamins and minerals. Rhubarb pie for vegetables.

              And then you've got your alternative pies...Shephard's pie, chicken pot pie, and of course my personal favorite...the pizza pie.

              Let us also not forget that Quiche is a type of pie, so that covers breakfast too.

              I'm not exactly how well you could balance a diet with pie alone...but you could certainly survive on it until eventually succumbing to a heart attack.

                  My mistake. I misread that, I thought you wanted to out the mag valve in the lower tube.

                  But anyway, still wouldn't work. The cocker body is simply too small. And the lower tube is so bit that the sear wouldn't be able to engage the bolt.

                    Yet another reason to pnue it install the ram in the lower tube (after sealing the lower tube and tapping a fitting to feed the valve), you are right the valve won't fit in the body but you just cut the opening and leave the sides of the valve sticking out past the body. So you can still see the valve and help throw people off.

                    EDIT: use a slab side body so you can drill and tap the hole for the searaxle

                      I don't think you'd need a pre-2k for that. Although, if you wanted to make up some story about a protoype that was made in the 90's you'd need to...

                          I thought the consensus was that the autococker body wasn't thick enough to do this...

                                exactly why he must try to do it.
