We like toys. I have a mag. The trigger intrigues me. I want a cocker too. Makes sense to me. Where is the Toymeister when you need him.

It would not be hard to do at all actually. I'm working on a sliding trigger for the E-mag, making one for the regular mag would be even more simple. Might be fun too.
I have about eight hundred other projects to finish first but I'll keep that one in mind.

There is a lot of intrigue but the trigger of a properly timed cocker intrigues me also. Quite a sexy feel or something. The only trigger I like more is my emag trigger.

I have had a 2k cocker for almost close to two years and the thing I didn't like the most about the gun was the trigger. I thought it was clunky and had lots of play, A frame upgrade would help but stock they just don't feel good to me. I'm in the process of selling my cocker for a Mag, going against what everybody I play with says. I just want a tournament level marker that I don't have to go out and constantly upgrade for the best performance. The best performance stock is the way I want it.

Yes, I do like the Cockers trigger and the Cool sound they make, but I like Mags just as much as I do cockers. They do look cool, but it sucks when they dont work, ask XSPYX.

Well, I've also owned both.
My hierarchy of triggers is such:

4. Stock Valve Mag
3. STO Cocker (45 frame and slotless plate)
2. Pivot frame cocker
1. ReTrovalve Mag

A well tuned cocker has a wonderfull trigger (Smooth like buttah) and is very reliabll, and timing a cocker takes about as long as replacing all the O-Rings in a Mag Valve for an experienced tech. They are excellent guns, but a lot less rod-able than you think as like the Mag, most of the best internals are made by WGP, in the cockers case you can't beat the STO front block, though you can get better than stock valves, hammers and bolts.

My personal setup, when I get my next cocker will be:

Black Magic Body Kit
KAPP milled front block (Chrome)
STO Sledgehammer Reg with Twister Kit
STO Ram
STO 4-Way
Belsales valve (I forget what they call it)
Rex Hammer Kit
Shocktech Superfly Bolt
Eclipse Pivot frame, or Benchy 45 frame with STO plate & Eclipse roller sear.
KAPP Beavertail & Cocking rod.
WGP Ergo Inline Reg

I'm still not to sure what I'm going to do about the triggerframes. And no this is not replacing a mag.

i dont want one.

Cockers...not for me , I own a mag now and it is by far the best gun I never had . I saw to many guys on the field having timing problems with cockers....I just like the trouble free of a mag and the easy maintenence which you don`t have on cockers.

[Allen]

First off, how do you know that is is hard to maintain when you have never had one? No more difficult than a mag.
I personally had a stock mag for a year, and loved it. Then I bought a Z-Grip and a 'cocker. Now I like 'cockers (the Z-Grip might be affecting my opinion). The first day with my cocker, I played better than I ever have; 2 flag hangs. I had only hung the flag once before, and now, twice in one day.
If you found a gun that helped you play better (This may not make sence, but think back to your last gun upgrade, like playing with a talon, then moving up to a M98. Not that 'cockers are that much better, but how much better you played with the M98.) would you use it? That is why I like 'cockers.

I want an autococker because you have SO many aftermarket possibilities and its a very mechanical gun...i love to tinker with things, customize, and work with my hands. the trigger pull is very nice and smooth.

This is just like the Harley vs. Every other motorcycle.

My uncle didn't like his harley, now he has a Honda Roadstar...he enjoys that a lot more.


I like cockers for customization, but I like the mag trigger better.

I blame the internet for the "me too" fad surrounding paintball these days...

If you go to PBC you can see it in basically everyother post. Everyone wants something they can showoff to their "online" buddies. It's kinda funny really.
