Why does everyone say Cockers shoot futher.

Um... momentum = mass x velocity...

Impulse = force x time

My post was somewhat off subject in that shooting farther is a total function of FPS, disregarding guns using the magnus effect.

My post dealt more with the accuracy part. And unfortunatly FPS is NOT a reliable measure of accuracy. So yes a cocker, mag, talon, all going 300 FPS shoot just as far as each other, unfortunatly this is not the case due to a thousand variable, every had those balls that hooked to the left or up, so in a sense we are assuming some things. Only the marker changes, everything else does not.

Shooting farther is really not that big of an issue nowadays, your cone of fire is, ie the area that your marker hits at a given range, smaller is better.

Of course we all know the most important aspect of accuracy...don't we? Why the LP super high efficiency kit? Or the recoil reducing fantastic no ball breaking LVL 10? The newest .0001 micron bored titanium alloy barrel?

Nope...Famaliarity with the marker. Want to see a scary player, look at the fellow who has been using the same mag, tippman, spyder for the past 3 or 4 years...

lol jeez dude. Actually READ my post CAREFULLY. I didn't say "They shoot greater distances." I said cocker owners SAY "Cockers shoot MORE ACCURATE at greater distances." This meaning, a mag and a cocker will shoot the same distance. But the autococker will shoot straighter.

This is all of what cocker owners say though, not my personal opinions.

Well here is my opinion, I own both a Mag and a Cocker there are two things that I have noticed. One the Mag shoots way faster then a Cocker. Two the cocker seems to be more accurate.The only problem with saying that is it is not the marker that has to be accurate. What ever gun you are more comfortable with will shoot better for you.
