dilemma on marker choice

[Quickling]

ug.. I'm all tied in knots. You see I have this 1998 Dark cocker. One of the first ever made. I had to quit paintball for a few years then got back into it and replaced all the pnuematics/internals with Freeflow. The gun literlly has about 4 cases through it.

Now I play mainly pump. Funny thing is, I ge the same amount of eliminations pump or semi, so I don't think upgrading is going to be necessary.. but I like to play semi when I don't feel like doing any work

What my dilemma is, is that I really either want to move back to a mag (getting an Emag) or getting a viking. For some reason my wrist friggin hurts like hell using that slider frame.. dont know if the tank is rubbing or not..

but either way now I don't know if I should trade this gun I have had forever for an emag/viking or keep it. I cannot afford to get a new marker... hence the thinking of trading. grrr... I dunno

maybe I just posted this cause im bored and looking at too many hot gun pics.

edit. PS Links to the cocker in my sig.

Vikings are Beautiful!!!!!

I also play pump occasionally, and i can see your dilemma...

Stick with what you like most, and never forget you original roots!

hella fast
plus super reliable

Throw each marker into the midd......*SMACKS SELF* ok time to be serious.

Get the emag. If for some reason you started playing in the rain or you tripped into a small creek and your electrionics get friend you can always flip the switch on the emag to mechanical mode and continue playing!

well, i hate to tell you, but you will not get close to any thing for your cocker. Not only is it mech and below the 2000 mark, but it is also right feed. These are 3 marks against it in todays cocker market... which seems to be slowly shriviling up...


Sorry to say it bro, but i would stick with your cocker. you seem to have had great times with it, and they are bound to continue

viking.... hands down. faster than emag nicer better built better quality. i hated my emag. i wouldnt reccomend an emag to anyone. my cocker and my matrix are faster more reliable and way lighetr. more accurate to. agd is going down hill in quality and customer service

[Quickling]

well I have seen worse cockers go for 600 bucks, which is most of the wat to an emag or viking (used). And besides... there are still many mech fans out there, they are just secretive and cultish

If you drop EITHER one in a creek and fry the electronics, youre still gonna not play the rest of the game because youll be so pissed at yourself for dropping your awesome *** gun in a creek and frying the electronics! And more over, you'll still have to shell out another 200-300 for the new electronics. And if he is choosing between a viking or an e-mag, he's prolly not gonna be playing in the rain.

i would say shoot both and get the one you're comfortable with. They are both nice guns, the only edge i see is going to go to the viking, due to efficeincy. Not that you'll need it if you have all day air, but it is nice to have.

Yea SuiciDal Sn Y p ER that whole thing about throwing ur marker into water is getting really annoying. I'm sure your advice doesn't make people change there mind about getting a new marker, because its super rare that someone will drop there gun in a creek or whatever.

But ya vikings are freaking awesome and AKA are good people. I say viking.

Well people are getting pretty mad about there xmags not being in top condition. The 3.2 thing pissed alot of people off about the runaway problem. I would be pissed to if my 1,250 marker had problems. But besides that, they are pretty good its just lately w/ the xmags I think.

[Quickling]

actually does anyone know how emags and viking hold up in the rain? The severe open here in NY was held outside and it rained.. pretty much all electros that I knew were there went down. Not that it matters for me, cause I would be just as comfortable wiping out my sterling and playing the game

its not really that Im torn between the two.. Im just torn on giving up my bab y thats been with me forever

Go with a ULE E-Mag! It is very reliable and you can still use your cocker barrels!

Vikings use cocker threads too

AO is getting more like PBN everyday. Gabe, Suicidal(sp?) Snyper was just stating his opinion. If you said to get a viking and he had posted after you he wouldn't say " did you sniff paint when you were little" .

Now, no offense, but I don't think when people say "try them out and see what you like" it is very helpful. He probably doesn't have immediate access to an Emag or a Viking.
I have shot most guns before.

The Viking trigger shoots pretty much like most electronic guns. The trigger feels the same as an angel, impulse, shocker, bko, and things like that. You have to have felt one of those triggers before. It also can be sweetspotted to insane speeds. However at most fields sweetspotting is against the rules.

Now. The Emag trigger is truly unique. The Emag and Xmag triggers are a step above all other triggers in most people who shoot them point of view. Some people don't like them. Most do though. This is probably one of the only guns that you are going to have to try out before you buy(I'm contradicting myself but it is true). The Emag is a little heavy, but that is what Ule is for.

Hope I helped or 30 minutes of typing was a waste.
