my new hinge frame

[strongboy2005]

God my Cocker is soooo SWEET! I just got a brand new hinge frame for $40 at ebay and I adjusted it down to 2 mm! God I don't know how I played all those years with my mag. Even with my mag totally decked out it wasn't ever half as fast or shot as far as my gun. How many other of you have had this same experience?

same here, i have a minimag and my friend recently bought a system x cocker. when he called me up to tell me he got it i told him to come over and we would play a game. i went outside to wait for him and when i stepped out the door i got shot! turns out he shot me all the way from his house which is like 1/4 mile away!

cockers dont shoot further or more accurately than a mag... its proven all guns shoot the same accuracy/distance UNLESS a flatline barrel or z-body comes into play... and the rate of fire thing, ever seen the 21 bps semi auto mag? www.butters.org if u havent :-P and mags are A LOT faster than cockers... just a note

[petefol]

word. i stepped outside and it was like splat splat splat, i got hit 50 billion times (literaly) all in the same spot. then the next time we played i was hiding behind a bunker, but he shot and it was like those old mcdonalds commercials, the paintballs all skillfully flew around the bunker and hit me "nothing but net".

I think a little bit of pbnation leaked into AO

Here we go again...

check out http://www.geocities.com/cockermongol and check the cocker functions sections and there is proof that an autococker shoots farther than an automag.

now does the ball keep accelerating once it leaves the barrel? That's just like saying a car keeps accellerating once you kill the engine.

Ok, here's some more logical explaination on why that doesn't work. The barrel is the vessel for the accelleration of a paintball. Once the barrel ends, the air escapes around the paintball into the open atmosphere. The air doesn't travel as if it is still in a barrel. Therefore, the ball would stop accellerating once it leaves the barrel. Theory disproved.

First, Strongboy, your link doesn't work.
Second, neither would whatever proof was contained within so no children will cry over this dead dog.
Third, What the hell is that picture in your sig Foo?

lets see the ball flew around the bunker, meaning u had a break, the only way a ball will curce unless u have ****y paint... yer cocker breaks ball... my mag doesnt... and they dont shoot farther, something moving at 300 feet per second is going to go the same distance as something else going 300 feet per second...and the elves dont exist by the way

EDIT: and I shot a Sandrisge F5 cocker for quite some time, it was nice, but big, bulky, and a pain in the buttm switched over to a mag, only problems I have had... having to switch LX stuff around...

[petefol]

i hope you realized that i was joking, thats why i threw in that 1/4 mile part? and strongboy the ball cannot accelerate once it leaves the barrel, it actually stops accelerating once it goes past the porting in the barrel, and there have been tests to prove that. but then again, if its on GEOCITIES it must be true!!!!! i suggest everyone just lets this thread die, who cares if some kid thinks cockers shoot farther.

I love this, the first part of te cockermongols theroy of paintball acceleration...

Note: The following is an untested theory thought up by me, it contains no factual evidence of any source of data with true factual measurments confirming the theory.

in other words, I just pulled all of this outta me bum, and now i wonder what else i can find in there :-)

The ball DOES accelertate out of the barrel if it accelerates more slowly down the barrel. In the example of the automag, the ball accelerates incredibly fast, making it's top speed, at the end of the barrel, 300 fps. Autocockers, at the point of chrono, have only accelerated to 3/4 of its potental. This means that the autococker will continue to accelerate up to 25% faster, resulting in a greater distance.

Even though futuremagowner shut you down like a hotdog stand, I want to hear you squirm a little long.

What aspect of an Autocockers operation makes it perform like you say it does? More over, What law of physics proves your point? and finally, Does your bum still hurt from pulling all of this out?

You lost the arguement, face it.

I'm done
