High Perfomance Gun

[FactsOfLife]

pito, that's why I alluded to the fact that you'd still have a cocker with a stock body.

my point about the car upgrades was comparing the original car with the upgraded car.

and I do agree with you on the devaluation of paintball stuff as soon as it comes out of the box.

need an example?

My cousin recently sold his FreeFlow Mini Racegun here on AO.

By all accounts possibly one of the best markers on the planet.

He had nearly 2500 bucks in it with all the money he spent on it.

He sold it for the grand total of...... 900 bucks.

now that's depreciation.

that is the worst analogy I ever heard.

If you take your honda accord and upgrade it, put on a cold air intake, motech exaust, turbo kit, etc.........it is hardly still a "stock" honda. a "stock" honda would have no chance in a race.

a stock cocker would be the equivilant of a stock accord and the oracle would be the upgraded accord. just because you have factory installed oracle parts, that doesn't change your honda into a jaguar! how could it? if I took a stock WGP centerfeed cocker and than put all oracle parts on it, it would perform that same! (would look different)

I still say you are an elitest snob if you REALLY believe that a gun with factory installed upgrades is better than a gun that had the upgrades installed by the person who bought the gun. In the end they have the same performing gun!

(BTW I would take a honda over a jag anyday........it would get me to work everyday, and not have 15 electrical problems )

I guess your right, I prefer my guns to be made by people who know what they are doing, instead of 14yr old punks. LOL, I guess your right then.

EDIT: Just so you don't think I'm biased because of my snobbishness. I do actually drive a Honda, a 1985 Faded blue Honda Accrod with over 200,000 miles on it.

Actually what I said is I like to people who know what they are doing to make cockers. NOT 14yr old punks.

Ok ok ok, Accord. It's Accord. My fault.

yeah, I knew......

which is why I said "crazy cockers" not "custom cockers" and if you like people that know what they are doing when they make closed bolt guns.......

So, are you saying, pito189, that the cocker I built from parts with a raw WGP CF body is stock? I would say it's modified, not stock. I wouldn't, however, call it custom (at least not without some serious milling and annodizing).

Ok that is fine. MODIFIED. I like that. It is a better word for something like that than custom.
