Why I shouldn't go to an autococker

[Badabing]

Guys I need help,I need to know why I shouldnt switch to an autococker. I know the simple things so dont waste my time with that. I need the real dirt of why I should keep my Rt Pro and try something new. I'm on the virge of it right now. Someone has to stop me.

Thanks a lot,
Badabing

I am not against getting a cocker in addition to what you have. To get rid of your RT to go towards a cocker... well it's up to you. But you better get a NICE cocker, otherwise I think you're wasting your time and won't end up with something better.

What's wrong with your RT?

[Muzikman]

I'm with Miscue on this one...own both...don't pick on or the other...

[Lone Brain Cell]

I have had both, cockers are like Rotarys....When they are running sweet there is nuthin better. But fixing them = YUCK!


Honestly at the moment I have a 68 classic, hyperframe, Level 10 And I wouldnt get anything else unless it was a c&c extreme.

That is only my opinion though

Forgot 2 say

Mags dont have 10 billion little parts that can stuff up at anytime. More parts = more things that can go wrong.

And most importantly Cockers arn't made by AGD!Nuf said

Meh, go for it.

Cockers are sweet guns, just don't get stuck paying mad cash for milling(Unless you really want to). A stock 2K2 VF cocker, with good barrel, STO front pneumatics & Supafly bolt will perform as well as that $1200 KAPP Flame cocker, and you spent way less money.

Shoot a cocker before you buy one, it's got an unusual trigger (Even the hinges feel odd compared to a spyder or Tippmann). If you like it, enjoy, if you don't, stay with the RT.

Or you could pick up something like a BKO or Impy for the same money.

Mycroft, you're close to my setup and I'm REALLY happy with just plain jane STO stuff up front, but that list needs to have a new frame on it. The stock one has a bit of(and too much) vertical movement which makes timing a chore.

well it would help us out more if we knew why your on the virge of switching? are you not fullfilled with your mag. do you feel like cockers are out shooting you? what exactly is it. imho going from one mechanical gun to the next is a waste of time. if you want to be satisfied try soemthign electronic

[Badabing]

Thanks for the responses guys. There is nothing wrong with my Rt. I just hear a lot of good things about cockers and I wanted to know what the real stuff about em was. My Rt and I are just fine together plus I have a warpfeed, so I wont be breaking down anytime soon like cockers do i guess. Unless there is something that would make me wanna get one of those.

Thanx

cockers are nice my brother has one my freind has one but I love the mag feel I out shot both of em so its mostly the way the gun feels to you try one extensivly before wasting your money and reliability and customer support will always be better with agd

chrisj: I got lucky with my stock 45 frame, it's buttery smooth, and stays in time well (Most stock frames are not as nice as mine).

shartley: He asked for reasons why he shouldn't switch, I gave him my opinion, that he should shoot what he likes, and a couple of suggestions for guns he should try. I'm a well known AGD booster, and a fan of every AGD product except the E-Mag(I hate the trigger), I also own 2 Mags, so don't call me on boosting othe rproducts over AGD's, I don't, but I'm not an AGD Zealot (Which to an extent you most certainly are, from your post.) and do recommend certain products over AGD's, no matter where I'm posting, I'm not going to change my opinion of what the best product in a given category is just because it doesn't tow the party line.

A reason he shouldn't switch then? You can find new RTPs for $580. Even the cheap setup that mycroft suggests would be a WGP Outcast(550) or a modified vf cocker(550) and both of those prices are before barrels that you will NEED with a closed bolt cocker(although the JJ full tilt that comes with the STOs etc. is pretty decent).

I feel that an RTP is a better bang for the buck until you start putting serious money into an autococker.
