i have to agree

i thought everyone knew it was open bolt

[Kevmaster]

since SP continues to deny it is open bolt (in addition to sueing everyone in sight), all the SP lovers believe it is....thus proof

[AllAmericanMag]

I was told by a guy from SP that it was Open Bolt....I didn't know people argued otherwise.

[robert heatwole]

me want!!!!

[RetroEclipseMan]

Man, that gun looks so much sexier in black. Hopefully someone locally will be able to pick one up so I can try it out.

[FeelTheRT]

yep, not only is it open bolt, its a blowforward design... no hammer. Its like a Mag basicly. I wonder how its efficiecny is.

[Top Secret]

I shot the 2k3 Shocker at IAO and can verify the open bolt as well. Honestly, the gun didn't impress me all that much.

Kev: Did they bring out that black one Sat/Sun? I didn't see the one in the pictures there with Scott and Prairie.

correct me if im wrong but i thought sp made two models of the shocker an open bolt and a closed bolt and they decide that the open bolt had two many problems with it so they opted for a closed bolt. i swear i heard this sumwhere but idk. rumors spread fast in paintball.

i hate SP those bastards sue everyone and they basically color copied the xmag...

[Catch22]

Umm didn't they copy the whole look from X-mag basically. it's a tube with a trigger frame.

You have no clue how business works do you?
When you design something, something that you are going to make money off of so you can buy food, a house, a car, some clothes, and a color TV for your bedroom, you want to protect your source of income, correct? Hence why patents are around. Smart Parts, being the brilliant minds they are, patended various technologies...making them the sole legal propietors of anything using that design. Now, Company B comes along and produces a product using technology that Smart Parts has a patent on(so they could protect their source of income). It is in Smart Parts best interest to protect it even further, and prevent Company B from treading into Smart Parts design territory. They are protecting their investment.

Smart Parts is smarter than you, and that's why they drive nice cars and can play X-ball and still run a successful company or two company...because they are smart businessmen.

And furthermore, like catch22 said, it's a tube on a gripframe with another tube on it...that's note exactly some unique design here chap. And plus, the X-mag has breech modules, whereas the 2k3 shocker does not.

I still want a 2k3 shocker though. That black is hot.

the guy in the video isn't that good at walking or what ever he was trying to do,



on a side note, that gun is quite as heck w/ no paint in it
