[master_alexander]

i can't decide between the ecocker and the warped emag.
help me decide.
here are the specs:

emag:

2 barrels all american, lapco bigshot
warp and all mods you can get on it
1.37 technology(or whatever it is with a 1)
and a drop with an on/off and asa.

$550 shipped

and the e cocker:
~eblade frame with eye installed
~wgp delrin bolt with o-rings
~kapp twisted cocking rod
~wgp pull pin
~sto ram-with qevs installed
~wgp tickler reg
~shocktech hpr reg-with dye gauge
~all american 14 inch barrel

so i can't decide at all. mags are really reliable and cockers shoot darts...

so please help me... ... i tried on pbn but there is a rule that you can't have vs threads.

I own both an Emag and an Ebladed cocker. I use my Emag as my primary, but I'm equally happy with my Eblade.

I built the Eblade after shooting a friends, and having so much fun with it. For me, it was much easier to shoot fast than my v1.37 Emag was. I then had my Emag flashed to v3.2 then again to v4.0 and with both software revisions the Emag was just as easy to shoot fast.

I feel an Ebladed cocker is more reliable then a mechanical cocker as there is no real issue with the gun losing its timing from a mechanical aspect. You set it up once and you shouldn't have to tweak with it much. The operation is handled by the Eblade. However, there are more things to physically go wrong with a cocker in general compared to a mag.

An Emag is not the most air efficent gun out there. If I ever am at a game where for whatever reason I can't get a full air fill, I will pack up the Emag and switch to the Eblade. When you get 2k fills, (like at the big "Night of the Catman" scenario) you can play more games between fills.

This probably didn't help your decision making process, but it gives you something to think about from someone who currently owns both.

i want both, but then my dad will say "you have 1,000 fied up in this sport and... " yea we have all heard that speech if we played when our parents controlled what we did.

and i know i can't make a deal because it's different dealers...

any suggestions?

you can donate to the "help alex get 2 guns he can't live without fund" if i can get everyone 500 people to donate a dollar then i will have my wish.. an ebladed cocker and a warped emag... I am now seriously considering this. But then again everyone would want to do this. but i am 14 and have no way of making that much money unless i worked about a year or so and then new stuff will have come out...

but i like the emag
and now can't live without the cocker

help alex get 2 guns he can't live without fund and donate a couple of bucks

[master_alexander]

i have decided

i decided!

sell:
my gun 550
airsoft gun 50
parts box mag 140
old laptop 80
q loader 70
gba sp 60

so that's...

950

and i need 1050.. (550 for emag and 500 for e cocker)

and my grandmother passed away in january and left me and my brother money to spend. My mom even said that she would most likley want us to spend it, so there will be enough money to fill in the rest if i can't get the price listed...

cool!

i bet my dad doesent go for it at all....

The E-Mag is basically two guns in one. Electro and Mechanical. No other gun in the world does that, except the X-Mag. No worries if your batteries/board die.

I'll play devil's advocate. I've played both. I like both, but an e-cocker will outshoot an e-mag in my experience. TO CLARIFY (before people start flaming), I play both an autococker AND an automag, and both will handle a very good rate of fire. But autocockers are more accurate, they are better at conserving air, and that one is set up nicely for an eblade as it has upgraded front pneumatics. Those QEV's are gonna let that ram fly so it will rip as fast as you can walk it. I know that may be an unpopular answer on a mag-forum, but I play an autococker as my primary and a mag as my secondary, and I love both of them. To be honest though, I even think the autococker will come out a little lighter too because of that battery pack the mag has. That's just my 2 cents worth, but I do build autocockers and for that reason I do know what they are capable of, but you aren't doing bad with an e-mag either. Please don't flame, the oldskool rivalry between automags & autocockers should be dropped... they are both very well designed markers that are the standard for all other markers that have come on the scene.

Quick notes on the autococker:
-wgp delrin bolt with o-rings <= eventually replace that with shocktech superfly.
-all-american barrel <= replace with freak/kaner/pipe... etc, some kind of high-end barrel

** I've seen ebladed autocockers go for 300 locally. Most of them are where people put the eblade 1 on a stock autococker and didn't understand why it was having problems. The reason is the stock front pneumatics are only designed to keep up with the stock slider trigger. I would try talking the guy down closer to $400, because I could build a better autococker than that for under $500 easily.**

I have two ebladed cockers, including one with a Zero-B board (waste of money, IMHO, but that's a different thread), and an E-Mag (set up for ULE vert or ULE warp). Myself, I can shoot my E-Mag faster, but I really have a lot of fun with cockers. I, too, recommend getting both, but I think the price of the cocker is too high. What kind of body does it have?

I would recommend low-balling e-cockers on eBay (with your parents' permission, of course) and you can get one for $400 or less. I paid $400 for the first one I bought (all stock except for e-blade), but I also received a mech RF cocker and a brand new Profiler. Parted out the mech gun and I had an e-cocker and Profiler for about $340.

But autocockers are more accurate...

I thought this was put to bed years ago.

I know most people here are fond of buying several guns but IMO you should buy whichever one you like most then spend your other $500 on playing. Lots of paint and good times can be had with that kind of money.
