This is mostlikely why autococker are over rated

Exactly.

Here's something for you.. Why is it an "auto"-cocker, you have to cock it yourself, yet we have an "auto"-mag, that automatically cocks itself.... hrm...

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

That's always confused me, and I never get over it.

[RamboPreacher]

never had to cock manually any of the autocockers I have ever owned!?

[Krazy Ivan]

You have to pull the cocking rod, hence cock it.

Back in the old days () when everyone used a pump, and semis were new, I guess budd developed it and wanted people to know it automatically pumped itself..
And really, thats what it is, its a pump gun that automatically pumps itself..

sorry, still not following you. just add gas and paint and start shooting (assuming it doesn't otherwise need timed or tinkered).

Generally you need to cock the cocker, if it is not cocked, before gassing up lest the gas vent out of the barrel.

The truth is, I have never seen a cocker up close and "personal", i have never seen one shoot, and i dont care if i ever do, just too many parts to break on it.

Ivan: You don't have pull back on the cocking rod, that's what the ram is for. The name Autococker makes lots of sense to me.

And let me tell you, Autocockers are not overrated, just misunderstood.

theres a range test it isnt mag and cocker though but it is 2 open bolts(bushmaster and angel) and one closed bolt(shocker)

also i never precocked my cocker and didnt have a problem

[SHOCKER1050]

cockers rule...ive owned a classic mag, rt mag, and an emag, and i always go back to cockers...the emag was awesome, but i guess its just all personaly preference...u cant dislike ppz just because they have a nice looking cocker lol

sorry, never had to do that on any that I have owned, (and there have been dozens) - that's why I questioned it, becuase I have never had to cocke them like a spyder ot tippman, for example.

sometimes the main spring is heavier than the valvespring...if the gun isn't cocked the valve will just vent
my friends gen-x cocker(1st generation) does this
but come to think of it... it's probably why it gets such crappy efficiency

the thing is, mags have only recently gotten over the stigma of blendering paint, cockers have had years upon years to build a foundation of making a durable tournament marker. I used to own a mag and i really liked it, but it destroyed paint. it chopped like nuts. I went to a cocker. Problem went away, but my BPS was still the same. Now that mags have gotten rid of the whole cuisinart thing (and i know there are people out there that have NEVER had a problem with mags chopping...) they're beginning to really make a presence. You just have to get past the fact that cockers have been used and seen as THE tourney gun for a long time and they're still out there competing with angels.
