    Those of you 'Knocking' the PBallistics 'Cocker:

    Have you even touched one?

    If you haven't, then please stop telling us what it is.

    I am curious, since I know a 'Bit' about the history of it. From what I have heard they are fairly solid, and actually are a good working gun. People have had issues with the trigger, but only on the sliding version, and people who know what the WGP sliding trigger is like, would say it is exactly the same.

    SO:

    Unless you DID play with it, please do not comment. Looks we can all figure. The original question is: Is it solid? Does it work well? Seems to from the reports I have heard.

    I spent $400 on my first tippmann. Does that mean it is better than the A-5? Nope.

    For the price, you should be fine. Most of the other guns inthe price range do not have a long shelf life, keep that in mind, but I have a feeling the price has more to do with competition having a better name, and less to do with actual cost.

      Dye Ultralite - $750


      Psycho Ballistics Lightning - $300

      Pricewise there is no competition but i'm sure there is a difference in quality but that's why the price is cheap.

        I haven't played a game with it, but I HAVE tested it out in a store (well, behind a pball store). I can tell you that it feels very solid, and that the double fingered trigger version ($329 at pbgear.com) is beautiful. I almost dropped the money right there and then, but realized that I didn't have money to drop.

        I love DYE products as much as the next guy (I wear a bonebrake jacket and gloves EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR) however, I recognize that DYE overprices their items quite a bit. But, who doesn't? I mean, $129 for pants? My pants work just as well. They make sick gloves though.

        ANYWAYS, for those of you who are bashing the PB cocker - there really isn't much of a difference, except for that the bolt is already delrin, so you don't really need to upgrade it. I had front pneumatics very similar to the Dye cocker.

        Peace guys,

            Dye Pneumatics are crap to begin with, now if another company copied a crappy design to start, imagine what the end result is, yes even crappier.

            I would recommend Eclipse Blade trigger, AKA Sidewinder reg. As for pneumatics, i would swap em all out honestly (wouldn't want you to have a bad cocker experience because crappy parts). Micro Rock with rock-knob, 44 Magnum ram, belsales 3-way.

                  ummmm random haha

                  the pbcocker sux i have owned one and gotten rid of with in about a month the body is light yes but it is cheaply made and feels that way also

                  the pneumatics suck as well as dyes but also when u buy the dye new u get an ultralight with it which is 100 of that 400 yall were talking about

                  the pb cocker also strips easily i have heard stories of people throwing these away because they didnt want to helicoil body screws

                    I just bought the super bolt version for my nephew for Christmas. Got it from i&iSports on ebay brand spanking new for $80 shipped. The pneus are kinda cheap, but he can upgrade if he continues to play. Other than that it's a pretty nice gun for the money. Nice low cost base to grow a great gun off of.

                      Ok, I OWN one of them (the superbolt).

                      I bought it for 20 bux. It took a LOOOOONG time to get the damn thing to shoot. It was missing several o rings and the timing rod was bent! I fixed it all up and she shoots really well now. But I still would not have paid anymore than 20 dollars for it.

                      It OOOOZES cheapness. I got extremely lucky, and my pneumatics actually work (and work well) but this does not seem to be the experience other people have. If you are buying it to turn it into a pump, however, then everything should work very well for you.

                      P.S. CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP!!! OMG THIS THING IS CHEAP! The anodizing, the milling, it's all cheap!

                        terrible gun, i've had almost 20 cockers/knockoffs and this is one of the worst. Get a used ocker on ao or pbn forums for like 150 and you can get a nicer one that will preform better. On a side note i really liked the way it looked but i bought mine new for 120 from national paintball store in my area and i regret every dime of it.

                            I did find it a little odd that the price quoted was sooooo high!
