What are the advantages ('mag over 'cocker)

[trevy38]

Can anyone tell me what the advantage a mag as over a cocker is? What are the pros/cons of each one? (I'm not trying to slam mags... I have one and I love it... I'm just curious cuz I never shot a cocker before.)

Main differences that arent opinions.

Mag
Lighter
pivoting trigger stock
shorter trigger stock
no need for upgrades other than a barrel, maybe a grip frame
Oil it before play and never mess with it other than that

Cocker
A little more stable shooting platform
Trigger is adjustable to fit any user
You can build one to be very unique
Timing can be your best friend or your worst nightmare

I have owned both, love them both...shoot both and decide which feels better to you. Range, accuracy, consistancy...they can all be the same when set up right.

Do a search, you'll see many heated debates and threads about each gun, you'll see people explaining pressures, velocitys, God knows what else, I had a mag, went to emag, now have a freeflow cocker with race grip, (if you dont know what that is, search for that too:)) I love it, can't be happier, then again as soon as stuff gets straightened out with the extremes and I have seen that there is nothing wrong or no complaints about the first couple of batches, which I'm sure there won't be cause agd test everything ten times over, I'm goin to get one, I have nothing else to spend money on, so its all towards paintball. Do a search, go to other forums, do searches there. pbnation.com
