the dirt on the new Shocker 03

[magking1971]

I miss my old VM-68
They were darn cool guns back in the day, They sure could take a beating(mine did)
That is one marker I wish I kept.

Saw the AM's shooting the new shocker today. The thing ROCKS! Didn't skip a beat.

I know alot of people who use AMG's in tournaments and they can be just as consistent wavering only about 2+/- fps with nitrogen and can keep up with a revolution or egg. Just a little too much kick for my tastes.

They arent bad guns, but I do like your non English sentence replys they show how intelligent you really are.

Dude...he obviously wears Dye gear...he MUST be a pro player....Dye makes you 10x better

[davidb]

Well, that depends on how fully outfitted with Dye gear he is... If he's sportin' the pack and nothing else, then he's probably only 2.5-3X better. If he's got the jersey, pants, shoes, barrels, gun with "Dye" carved onto it, barrel condom, etc. etc., he may well be up in the 15-20X better range!!

But he still doesn't speaka the English.

HMMMMMM, maybe so, but some people have been waiting since the initial release date which was back in March...

And how long have we waited for the Xmag????? Much longer than the Shocker. At least the customers that have been wating for the 2003 Shocker dont have a charge on their credit card and no gun to show for it for 6 months like the customres wating for Xmags. No way I would wait on a backorder list like some of the guys have. What I find even funnier is every batch of Xmags that comes out has something different. Second batch has milled battery packs. I am sure guys in the first batch would have liked to have that. Oh wait.... they can get a raw one for the low price of 60.00 in addition to the 1450.00 they already spent

DYE

The new shocker should be pretty cool, but alot is still unknown about it. We shall see.

And Dyeballer, grow up a little. You posted an insult, they made a little joke about the pic that happened to insult you. If you can't take it, don't give it.

[Meph]

Hey, it could be worse.


Looking like a complete tool, just like this guy.

No pre-order list at Samrt Parts. They told me at the Chicago Open that they are in production right now and they are filling up their warehouse before they start selling them. Apparantly Smart Parts does not like the idea of players waiting 6 months for their guns

but they do believe in releasing an unfinished and under tested product and letting the consumer do the beta testing so they can re-design it and sell more aftermarket parts to actually make it work...and thats why some guy in NY is probably cussing my old money pit impulse right now.

[Spaceman613]

most companies do that... even the beloved agd.

i think what sp is actually saying is that they couldnt make it work and live up to the hype at the same time.

[Spaceman613]

maybe they are sayong "accuracy by volume, not closed bolt"

or maybe they see that people are buing open bolt markers, so why increase the cost by making a closed bolt gun.

[adam shannon]

what im refering to is that they hung their hat on the myth of closed bolt, that was the main selling point of all their pre-release hype.

now after all that its open bolt. their adds were all false advertising...and in the real business world...not paintball where hype and lies are acepted ways of doing business...they would be held accountable not patted on the back. they held it up and glossied every PB mag with "all we kept was the legendary closed bolt accuracy" while scrambling behind the scenes to back up the claims and couldnt even get the marker to work!

so now it has "legendary accuracy" while its only said in small print and whispers that that legendary accuracy is now from an open bolt...oh wait did they retract all those ads and actually announce that its open bolt...or are they letting the hype stand and the imprint of those ads stick and only letting word of mouth say its open bolt.
