Autocockers shoot farther and more accurately?

comon people,

how many times do we have to go over this stuff. The autococker shoots more accurate at a longer range than almost every gun out there. Plain and simple.

You cannot take a mag, and a autococker out on a field with the same barell, the same paintball's, and at the same velocity ( which they do at indoor fields anyways ) And have the shoot the EXACT same. Its almost impossible. If the mag shot even 1/3 as accurate as an autococker there would be alot more people with mags wouldnt there. nuff said.

lol ..... i'm not even going to ask if you have any reasearch cause i'm preety sure i already know the answer

Did you know...

If you take a Cocker and a Mag and drop them both off of an 10 story building at the same time, the cocker will get to the bottom straighter and faster! I never get tired of this lame argument. I also never get tired of shooting up guys with cockers, angels, etc...

While I don't necessarily think the cocker is inherently better than the mag, neither do I think the mag is better than the cocker. They both have flaws and quirks.

Play with both and you decide what you play with better.

If you get a cocker that runs, don't take it apart and don't mess with it.

cockers and shockers do shoot more accurate at long range because they are a closed bolt design

[echoes]

And how is closed bolt inherently more accurate?

[Army]

Barrel length does not matter, bolt operation does not matter, high or low pressures do not matter, elves do not matter, hopper rate does not matter, Co2 or nitro does not matter, gun operation does not matter, shiny back-blocks do not matter, little or extensive milling does not matter, plastic-steel-aluminum-lead-gold-titanium-wood bolts do not matter...


If a 'Cocker and a 'Mag are shooting identical speeds, let's say 280fps, the balls will land in the same general area no matter the distance. Weight differences of the balls is not enough to change parameters enough at the distances that paintball guns are able to shoot.

Neither is more accurate than the other. THIS IS SIMPLE, BASIC PHYSICS, NOTHING MORE. I'm not a rocket scientist, and I didn't do so hot in math at school, but this is so simple even for me!

People would rather belive hype and marketing than physics.

Just like planes fly based on physics not some magical strings held by fairies that at any moment could fail. It's called physics learn it, use it, live it.

PS: If they are more accurate and have longer distance show some proof. That's all we ask.

let the arguement go on...

the only thing that can physicly change a guns performance is velocity, barrel to paint match, and back spin on the ball... only certain things put back spin on a ball. The the paint to barrel match can affect the straightness of the paintballs path but gun to gun no matter what you say they shoot the same accuracy and distance at the same velocity. The reason most people in paintball think one gun can shoot farther than another is because of the way the gun feels when the paint comes out of it. I agree that they all shoot the same accuracy and distance but some guns just feel more accurate. Can this be explained? Asside from my guess on how the gun feels, no.

[i-luv-my-rt]

LOL of course they do!!!

cockers only shoot further because the person behind the gun doesnt have the skill to get up close and persional... they just sit in the back and long-ball it across the field unlike mag people who have the skill to get close enough to bunker
