the dirt on the new Shocker 03

[crankydan]

Correct me if Im wrong,

I dont think that SP ever said that the "New Shocker" was going to be closed bolt.

I did get to review the video on the new shocker. I can tell you this much (in my own opion), there is no way that I would pay 750 dollars for it. I was not impressed at all with the rate of fire.

"all we kept was the legendary closed bolt accuracy"

that didnt say it was closed bolt... just that it was accurate. And we all know (or should know) that consistancy causes the accuracy of a paintgun.

Why dont we all let the stinkin thing hit the streets in full production, let people buy them, and let THEM give opinions and reviews. Full production, odd concept.

If they arnt worth the money, then they wont sell, plain and simple. but if the $750 retail is true, its nearly half the price of an x-mag. less expensive than a speed, on par with a viking, and way cheaper than an excal or any electro cocker.

They originally told me that it would be closed bolt. But that was in the prototype stage and I can appreciate how things change in development.

I'm looking forward to getting my hands on one... I'm hoping they will have one at Toulouse in the next few weeks...

It's smart parts. It will sell weather it's worth it or not. Tha's the benifit of being smart parts and advertizing the hell out of their products ;-)

ok, didnt see that on the website, I was just going by the quote given... the website say it, but that particular quote in this thread didnt. Of course, matrices fire from a closed bolt, and so do angels.. so maybe they are following the trend of those guys

You were not around for the original AGD superbolt fiasco were you??? AGD did exactly what you just described.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, yeah i'm pretty sure angels are open bolt. Unless you are refering to that it actually fires when the breach is closed, bla bla bla. I don't know

ya angels definetly arent closed bolt and every gun fires when the bolt is in the closed position or there would be mad blowback
