I'm not sure why there's a rumor floating around, but Smart Parts is NOT, i repeat, NOT RELEASING THE NEW SHOCKER YET.

It's not even close to release. Soon, but not yet.

is that chipley machine custom cocker a pump, cuz it def. has a pump handle, ohwell still what I think is the best looking cocker I have seen,I like the aurora ones too

[Ov3rmind]

A ha! It does appear to be a pump (Sniper esque). I know they're making custom Cockers too though.

My take on the new guns debting at the Cup (if anyone cares):

Fireball Mountain Cockers: These look promising as they have made quality products in the past. I'm not too fond of the looks, but performance could be great.

ALL WGP Cockers: This year, it's obvious that they've put great effort into improving their whole line of Cockers by leaps and bounds. The BM, 2K3, and Flatline (which I still doubt a single person has bought) are all much improved over this years models.

CCM Sniper: IMO, a pump is a pump. This is just a pretty one, and will probably be over priced.

Python Impulse: While this Imp does look good to me (the Silver one, the rest look oogly), I think the performance will only be a tad better than the Rat and Nasty, but most certainly will not warrant it's insanely high price tag (you can get an Adrenalin for less, with what will still probably be a little better performance).

Extreme E-Mags: I'm sad to say I'm a little disappointed. The bad ano jobs turn me off, and the black anodized aluminum valve looks out of place. I'm still waiting for a more comfy grip frame (only held a regular Emag, but the Extreme's only looks slightly better) to be designed. They do undoubtedly have great performance, but until some things are fixed, I'm going to hold off on buying one.

New Micro Mags: Yippee! New Micros! Not much new since current ones, but still a slight step up (I do love Micros too). I can't wait 'til they start selling the Medusa Frames.

Hybrids: By far the gun I have waited for the most. It's everything I like about Cockers, just more refined.

Omen (Evil Marker): Word is that it's electro and it's closed bolt. The past has shown that this is a winning combination. I have no doubts that this thing could have outstanding performance, I do question how high the standards of quality might be though. As far as looks go, meh (not bad, but not good).

That funky blue thingy majigger: Is it possibly the Alien marker? The new Aardvark marker? Some high end Mayhem? An electro ICE Epic? I have no clue. I'll be following this closely. Even though it's ugly, it has sure caught my interest.

Vikings and Excaliburs: Well, now the ROF cap has been raised to 27 bps on Vikings, and the ano jobs in the pics look better than the ones on Vikings that have been sold before (I've seen some horrid ano jobs come on AKA markers). My opinion, is that they're finally getting the kinks out of this masterpeice. I'm willing to bet it's popularity will just grow even more. I also like the new milling pattern (as minimal as it may be).

KAPP Matrix: From what I've heard, they've added in a few more improvements over the previous KAPP Matrices. However, I still doubt it will be worth the price tag.

DYE Cockers: Just new anos. Admittedly a better looking ano, but nothing more.

Ironmen Timmys: These look sweeeeeeet. I'm not a Timmy fan though, so I'll probably never buy one. As far as looks go though, I give it an A++. I'm willing to bet the price will be stratospheric.

Half Block Cocker: It has about all the performance benefits you could possibly want. While this will undoubtedly be a great gun, I prefer my Cockers mechanical.

Centerflag Cocker: Just another electro Cocker. Don't expect anything revolutionary. While it's definitely not a bad gun, it's not very innovative either.

Piranha: Yes, it's JABBM. However, I think PMI did a good job of atleast trying to mill the body differently than every other company in the low end market.

Eclipse Cocker: The only improvement I see over current ones, is the BM reg (which really isn't much of a difference anyway). The Aurora finish looks out of this world though.

F/X Orracle: yes, I understand that the Sleeper Cockers are not supposed to have nice ano jobs and flowing milling patterns (in order to cut down on cost). However, it almost appears as if the purposly made it as ugly as possible. Performance will most likely be like an Orracle, but all I can think of when I look at it is, YUCK!

Freeflow Cockers: The best Cockers for a few years now, and still the best IMO. The only new thing they really have out now is a milling pattern (which isn't even really that new), but that's all they do need. Freeflow Cockers IMO, are the most perfected Cockers you can buy without changing the design around a bit. They still stand head and shoulders above other true Cockers out right now.

IR3 Angels: Just some new ano patterns, but they look nice!

[TITAN]

if anyone plans on being at the wc would you possibly do me a favor and see how much wdp is charging for stock ir3s and 68ci black airs? i've heard many companys are selling stuff really cheap so i just wanted to see if i can get myself a good deal on some stuff. if they do i may just fly there buy my stuff then send it to myself cause my mom works for continental so i fly for free, so if anyone can check on that i'd greatly appreciate it

[Automaggin2]

ov3rmind, a little heavy on the pictures there. someone posted the link to the site, you didnt need to give 56kers hell. And those fireball mountain bodies ARE NOT PRODUCED by FBM. They are made by spanky and FBM just slaps there names on it.

No, that is not the Alien gun. And the centerflag cocker is revolutionary. its the first drop in elecro kit where you dont have to replace anything like the 3 way or ram

[Ov3rmind]

It's a pic thread, the thread is supposed to be loaded with pics. They aren't large pics either. I figured a thread with limited descripitions and the full size pics was more convenient for most than visiting the site and clicking on each individual link to see the pictures in there entirety.

Just because you don't have to replace the 3-way with a solenoid does not make it revolutionary. The mechanical 3-way actually limits the ROF when compared to a solenoid replacement. Besides, you still have to send it in to Centerflag to have the frame installed, it isn't exactly "drop in."

The FBM comment may have been a little off. I have heard that Spanky went under, so as far as I know FBM is producing the bodies. I could be wrong of course.

The Alien comment was a stab in the dark, as I stated, "I have no clue."

[misfit]

i think that the Piranha looks like a rip off of the early proto mag body.

[AcemanPB]

^^ I noticed the same thing Misfit, they look exactly alike...

Oh and BTW is that new PMI gun electric? i've never seen that kind of frame.

[Automaggin2]

well, if you ever ever noticed, there have been bodies that are the same EXACT thing as the fireball bodies, but with differnt names on them. I have seen Kicn 'n on the bodies, something like BTP or something on the bodies, i have seen so many different names on the bodies its not even funny.

[Automaggin2]

and about that Uprising frame, i would consider it revolutionary for a cocker. thats not exatcly true what you said about a mechanical 3 way being slower then a electric. if your shooting 30 balls a second theres a difference, but other then that, its just dumb to have a big bulky 3 way on your gun. the mechanical 3 way can work just as fast. it all depends how fast the 3 way rod can be pulled

and besides, what other electric frame for the cocker has a LCD on the grip?? hmmmm...none that i can think of

[SlipknotX556]

Capo has a nice extreme. Also I have failed to go to the cup even though im likr 45 min away. School is in the way, but I have a half day tommorow, but no do I get to go to the cup??????? NOOOOOOO. O well at least I have these pics.

The solenoid is capable of cycling faster than mechanical 3-way. It's not incredibly noticeable unless you exceed 20 bps, but it is still faster. I also consider it superior because it is easier to time and there is no cocking rod to bend or bump. Basically, it's just slightly faster and is easier to time (not to mention it'll stay in time). The new ones one the Raceguns aren't too big at all, not big enough where I'd consider them a hassle.

An LCD screen hardly makes anything revolutionary. Wow, poop, my Cocker has an LCD screen. So?

[DiRTyBuNNy]

Am I the only one that thinks that the new Piranha body is trying to steal the look of an Angel LCD?

[Gijim]

Yuck!!

That sorta pink colored angel is quite ugly, some may disagree but I think WDP and others are trying too hard in the milling area. I like the looks of the dragon Timmys but those ironman ones are a little over cut. Shockers will always be ugly as long as they look like a brick IMHO
