why?.... freestyle

[thorn]

well, i own a fs.

shocker is slightly lighter. def. smaller cuz of monotube. not as effecient. more kick.

WHAT? At 4BPS the Shocker ramps to 15BPS for as long as the 4 BPS is sustained. It is further capped at 15BPS (mine were acutally 14.5BPS) over the chrono when in ramping mode

....no, its not capped unless you set it

....no, its not capped unless you set it

In ramping mode its capped - at least each one of mine consistently pulled about 14.5BPS over the chronos in ramp mode. Then again, I had very early (week of release with ramp) ramping Shockers.. so they may have made changes since that.

The freestyle doesnt ramp stock. Ramping boards/chips are the hot feature now. If it doesnt ramp, they dont want to buy it.

Dont forget that ICD doesnt not advertise nearly as much. Opposed to Smart Parts who go crazy with ads. Smart Parts has some of the best teams in the world using Shockers, and that makes them fly off the shelves.

actually one of thetwo teams will be using them or are alread naughty dogs and Russain legion

The whole thing with Russian Legion isn't done yet, still some sponsorship things to work out so there were only 3 RL FS prototypes. Jax Warriors were also seen shooting freestyles at LA Open.

Now there's the new generation Freestyle Pro's comming with a couple PL's:
-Naughty Dogs FS Pro
-Destructive Customs FS Pro
-Epic FS Pro
-Adventure Beach FS Pro

For me, I friggin love my freestyle, it rocks It's low profile, very light, little to no kick, easy maintnence. The only thing that bugs me is the efficiency since I don't have the HE bolt kit. With all day air and me not shooting 5 pods a game, it's all gravy. I have yet to have a problem with it. I just need to pick up a chaos or NOX board and a new trigger.

You proved me wrong, good.

ICD itself does not sponsor any major teams that I know of. NPS distributes for ICD, so NPS sponsored teams can use ICD markers. And there is a large difference between the number of advertisments of Smart Parts and ICD.

I've never heard of someone buying a shocker because it ramped stock.
If that's true why not buy an Ion?

Another Ignorant statement by AO.

I probably shouldn't have stated it the way I did. But a few months ago Shockers were flying off the shelves, and the stock ramping was not hurting sales one bit. Since then AdvantagePB has gained popularity and makes chips and boards for many markers. The stock ramper is nearly useless now.
