Mags and Cockers

[rt_81]

well untill you try the new swinging trigger frame for the cocker, dont be too quick to say that the mag is faster. iv been shooting a cocker for several months now and i love it. i recently aquired a shocker also which im very pleased with, but thats another thread. i used to say that accuracy go with cocker, rof, go with mag. untill i shot a cocker with the swinging trigger frame. i was amazed at the rate of fire when i sat back and finger bang the thing. its incredible. this isnt to say i dont like mags now, but the rate of fire is now there for the cockers.

no one ever menstioned anything about longer range... just hear more accurate now and then. Possibly because of the very little kick. When i had an RT, my Warp Feed sensitivity thing was set on the lowest and it would spin on every shot. When i got my Cocker and tried out my Warp Feed, i had to set it so high that it would go off it's self once in a while when i'm just moving; just slightely less than it spinning on it's own. Shockers, and Matrices also tend to have very little kick.

Well,
Im still new to the forum, but can say that it is honestly a preference thing. I chose the mag because my brother already had a tricked cocker, and I wanted to go a diferent path. Its nice to play paintball when theres more variety, not just ALL cockers on the field, or ALL Spyders. Variety gives you more distinction from all the other Cocker toting people.

I chose the Mag believing it wasnt as accurate as the Cocker. I also chose the Mag despite the advice I got from shops here saying that the Mag was obsolete, and that the cocker and the electros are the only way to go.

However, right now, My Mag with its setup is ALWAYS at the same consistency as my brothers cocker. We both run HPA and shoot at around +/- 3 fps. Its just a matter of time when the balls swell a lil too big and BOTH are consistencies are hurt. So can we honestly say which is more consistent.

As for range, both and all guns should be the same. Both are affected from the forces of gravity at the same rate. Given the same velocity (fps) the both guns (as ALL guns) will send the ball flying through the air until gravity pulls it completely to the ground.

Accuracy is different from gun to gun (even if the consistency is the same). My LP Spyder shot +/- 5 fps. However, with any blowback gun, theres alot of recoil. When I send a string of 5-10 balls, I could feel the barrel lift and my shots would be erratic. However with my Mag, the recoil is very minimal.

I hope this helps, sorry for writing such a long novel. "HyperSnyper"

This will never end....never end.....just play the game and buy what gun you like. No need to write long winded explainations. No need. Its all so subjective. Don't you think that if one gun was substantially better than the other, someone would have documented proof?? There is no proof cause both guns have taken the .68 caliber paintball about as far as it can go! What we need is to change the paintballs, they are the wrench in the system. Just play the game fellows, play the game....
