    Real scoop on the new Shocker?

    Is there anywhere with some good unbiased info on this marker?

    What upgrades are available? Boards? Better eyes (cause we all know vision sux)?

    How do they hold up?

    I have held and fired a few. I like the compactness and weight. I wasn't too pleased with the trigger , but all SP markers need work there , so no big deal. Otherwise I know nothing and am considering buying a standard 03. Any input would be greatly appreciated , and links to good info even better.

    Thanks

      Saying vision sucks is a worthless statement. I agree it isn't the best but it sure as hell isn't aweful. Everyone tends to make fun of reflective eyes but wait, doesn't the precious x-mag aroudn here have reflective eyes? I never hear anyone say their reflective eyes suck.

      Anyways, if you don't like vision which i doubt you won't unless you go into it with a pestimistic mind set, which is apparent, then you should go with a predator 2 board by www.theangelguy.com Which can put breakbeam eyes and and new faster board in

      The shockers reliability mostly depends on the parts which lack wellness, which the most part is the regulator. The stock vertical maxflo is aweful in my honest opinion, so i would replace it with a CP reg or something of the sort to fix its main fault and after that it would be more reliable, of course maintain is needed.

      Most people tend to make fun of the stock pull of the shocker which yes, sucks. All you need to do is unscrew the magnets and make the trigger light and have someone flip the microswitch, or you can do it yourself.

      Hope i help

          Erm, the reason you don't hear many X-Mag users complain about their reflective eyes is cause they aren't using them. Just food for thought.

          Reflective eyes aren't that bad, IMHO. My Cocker has em, and as long as you keep them clean there isn't a problem.

            I am guessing since the eyes is what seperates the x-mag from the ule x-vavled emag is the reflective eyes along with a nicer body of course. Therefoer i would assume the people on the x-mag use their eyes. Who has eyes and doesn't use them, what a stupid statement

              I never used the eye on my sfl... the truth is that it took too much time sometimes to set it up for the paint and I really didnt need it because my lvl10 was always working... Not a stupid statement at all, because I am not the only one that hasnt or doesnt use them.

                Not entirely true. The X-Mag has a much better milling job, they're rarer, much lighter. There are major differences between the two, despite that the X-Mag is a more "modern" version of the E-Mag.

                  well.
                  for 800 bucks it should just work. period and work well. its supposed to be a high end gun isnt it. if you gotta do all this stuff to it why does it cost so much? seems kind of stupid.

                      You making that statement is kinda ironic...

                      Would I shoot a Shocker? Sure... would have to get it dirt cheap though. I'd be putting in the newest bolt kit for efficiency, putting on a new reg instead of the craptastic vert maxflo, then dropping in a predator 2 board for the breakbeam eyes.
