Oooo i can't wait to get my 03 shocker. What type of feedneck is that?

A twister clamping one I believe.. They come stock with nasty's.

i guess a lot of you nkow about shockers. i was wondering, since i might have extra money this summer, if i should get a shocker. my friend keeps telling me to get a viking. all i know is that i like the look of the shocker better. either way though, both guns are fine right? so i can go ahead and base it on looks?

[MarkM]

Awesome. I have been pondering about picking up a shocker as a backup for my matrix, and this may be the one! Now, to get some money!

Oh and mark, ever lubed a matrix If it needs more lube than that, something in the shocker needs to be redesigned.

No (I forgot about the other gas hog) I have already gone down the route of one, lube and then lube again marker and don't intend to start again. Matrix's are way too heavy new and old and I dislike the balance point on them too, I have had to fire a lot of them as a chrono judge and that was enough for me.

so.....what does AGG actually mean?

Nice Nasty btw!

...Except the ICD Freestyle is a blowforward...

What do you mean by blow forward?

[Intellimag]

I agree with wantamag, dont forget what forum your on .
BTW, nice gun, lol

[JoyInTheMadness]

gat is a stupid word.

What do you mean by blow forward?

The ICD Freestyle is a blow forward (like a mag), not a spool valve like a Matrix.

Blowbacks use a spring behind a hammer to hit a valve and use the air to blow the air to blow the hammer/bolt back behind the sear. Examples: Spyder, Pirhana, Tippman's

Blowforwards use the air pressure behind the bolt to blow the bolt forward and use a spring or (in the case of the Freestyle) air to push the bolt back. Example: AGD Mags, ICD FreeStyle

Spool valves use air to move the bolt forward and back, dumping the air in a dump chamber when the bolt is forward. Example: Matrix, SP 03 Shocker

I was under the impression the Freestyle was a spool valve, but I just checked and you're right, it's not. I thought maybe you were confused about what blow forward meant. Sorry about that. :o

[FallNAngel]

Sorry about that. :o

You better be...

Any problem you have with the shocker should be a very easy fix, unless it has to do with the electronics (like my EYE not working!!! GRR.. I'll just take it into the place I bought it.. Free lifetime warrenty )...

Now the shocker will be smaller/lighter then the viking.. It will be simple, and easy to take apart.. Maintaining it is basically just lubing up everything.. Which if your like me you won't mind, but some people like to just put there gear down, pick it up the next time they paintball and use it w/o problems.. The worst thing on the shocker though is the efficiency.. If you get the HE bolt it is pretty good.. But the stock bolt is HORRIBLE.. (were talking like a stock bolt on a matrix).. The viking however won't be as easy to take apart.. But I don't think you would ever need to.. You just drop a couple drop of oil down the asa every so many shots.. So it all depends.. If you want a lighter gun get a shocker.. If you want a gun you will probablly never have to touch get a viking..

If the eye is not picking up anything, it may just be dirty. Take off that little piece held on by the detent and pull the eye out a little to inspect it. Also, what color is the shocker you are using with the bad eye? I heard that gold shockers have had problems with the vision system due to the gold color confusing the eye. I don't know how true that is, but I heard that somewhere. What exactly is the flipped microswitch mod? Let me know. I should be recieveing my HE bolt for my shocker this week so I will let everyone know how it works.

[yeahthatsme]

the flipped micro switch mod involves de-soldering the microswitch from the board and then flipping it and putting it back in, then connecting the far points on the switch with a wire. it is actually really easy to do i did it myself with no prior soldering experience in about 30 minutes. it gives the trigger a new feel. i also took my magnet out so its just the microswitch returning the trigger and it RIPS. if you have any questions feel free to contact me on aim at person 1243 or by PM and i could help you out.


nice shocker btw, i love mine.(my vision is out too, i prolly just need to clean the ketchup out of it tho).
