Autocockers or Automags

[strongboy2005]

Stock automags have no competition with stock autocockers. I mean come on it's a beginners gun that's almost as good as a tippmann vs a tournament level gun. Look at the 2003 autocockers, there is not even a comparison. A "stock autococker" these days is not like the ones of yesteryear. Every year WGP beats itself in style and preformance - at this rate a "stock autococker" will be as good as a freeflow. Stock automags have remained unchanged for 10 years. I mean if you had a Lvl 10, intelliframe, and a retro valve then it would be the equivalent of a stock 2003 WGP cocker, but if you're referring to a crappy old lvl 7 standard feed mag then SORRY, no contest.

It's funny, I have been around this sport for 10 year now, 8 of which I have followed paintball over the Internet (Yeah, my TIP number is 617 I beleive). This is the number one asked question over that time, and I think this is the best answer you can give. BUY BOTH, USE BOTH, LOVE BOTH.

Yes, I own ADG products, yes I hang out at all the events with the AGD/AO people. But, I shoot my cocker over 90% of the time, and the funniest thing, none of the AGD/AO guys ever give me or my cocker grief. What a great bunch of people...

Let's see... hmmmmm... In the past year and a half, I've owned:

**A Standard Feed 68 Classic (KAPP Frame, foregrip)
**ANS Blue-Green-Fade GX3
**Purple-Black-Fade Alien LED Angel
**Left-Feed Polished E-Mag
**STO Cocker (Belsales overhaul project :-) )
**Classic Intimidator
**Some lame custom WGP mini-cocker that didn't work
**A 2K1 Impulse with all the Worm goodies
**A Spanky Sandridge Cocker
**A KAPP K2 Flame Cocker
**A 2K1 Impact Angel...

... and now I've got a 2K2 LOE Freeflow with all the new crap from Pro Paintball... and I've kept a polished-up 68 Classic with me just about the whole time...

Why? Because for some strange reason, I just love they way they shoot. I guess its just personal preference. Take it from me... I'm the original gun whore.

I own an automag and an autococker. After playing with the cocker I know what I've been missing out on. BTW this thread was a kid that was comparing a classic mag to a new cocker, and that's why my post was so agressive. Sorry if I offended anyone with my opinions.

I'd say get a Blazer and have the durability of a mag with the trajectory of a cocker.

As for me in the past year, I've had a Tippmann 98 custom with way too much crap on it, a PGP, a P-68 AT, a cocker, an Imp w/o vision, a stingray, a pt xtreme, a sl-68 II and my Phantom. I'm trying to sell everything but the phantom. As for me, I like cockers a lot but the automag is a very worthy competitor and it is simply a matter of personal preference in my opinion.

I agree with strongboy all the way. I have playd with both cockers and mags, but i only one 1 for 1 important reason. Cockers are just all around better guns. Sure if you compare an emag or an rtmag to a stock autococker, which is a better gun. Humm...let me think. When u become realistic and compare a classic mag to a stock cocker their is no comparison. Stock mag i can get like 6balls a second, stock cocker 10balls a second. As for pnumatics and timing once their set their set, u dont have to mess with them until you upgrade them. If ur at a field playing with ur cocker and it dose happen to break, u think not a single person there will know how to fix it. I have never had a problrm with my cocker at all. The only thing i dont like about them is the cocking rod must come out to change the velocity. Even IF the cocker did have an occasional problem i wouldnt care because cockers have much better performance stock and upgraded. I vote cockers.

The simple fact is that everyone ends up owning an autococker. Very few will ever own an automag (in comparison to the vast number of cocker owners).

If you get serious into paintball, at one time or another 95% of tournament players will own an autococker. Oh no did I break into your sheltered little space of AO? Are the little automag people mad because they can't prove me wrong and refuse to give up because they are stubborn and ignorant? Give me a break.

[shartley]

Yeah, that's it.

[TRIAD]

strongboy2005, the

because they are stubborn and ignorant

one, is you. You're ideas are based on nothing, and have been shut down. Either show some facts, or keep quiet.

It seems almost on a monthly basis we get someone in here who does this EXACT same thing, and it's really starting to get annoying. We get tired of writing HUGE posts about something that has been discussed before. So, we say short things, like this:

"NO"

Do a search, and you'll find what some of the more open-minded AO members have posted about this.
