What gun should I get next??

[phantomhitman]

pm sent, take this thing away from me before it kills me

Cockers are pretty straight forward guns, I have never broken anything on it and it held up well for my primary gun while my others were in route. I have never chopped a single ball with (there was an incident were a teammate thought it would be funny to turn my eyes off in practice while I was not looking.....not the best game for me) it so the eyes seem to work fine. To each their own, its time to find this gun a home. It has been sitting in my closet for at least a year now.

Hmmmm . . . and the plot thickens . . . . found a pink Empire Timmy for $500. Wonder if I can talk em down to $450 . . . .

Well you can find really nice Ecockers with everything upped for under $400 which is nice. Vikings are another good option, you can find them in the $500 range now. OR for under $400 you can get a fully decked out older style Trix with eyes, Tadao, and possibly an Evolve bolt too. It'll shoot just as good as the proto or DM4 but it'll be cheaper and get better efficency too :)

My ebalded orracle does have eyes. Or at least a photoelectric sensing device that tells when a ball is in the chamber or if the bolt is in the chamber. Not break beam but works under a very similar concept. Only problems I have really had with this gun so far was I bought it used and the previous owner I am pretty sure he had turned up the operating pressure to high and that basically killed my solanoid. It worked for about three weeks of play every weekend. (Im pretty sure it wasn't me who did it because I afraid to change anything since it worked at first). Had to send it in to get it fixed. After that it worked fine for a while (about 6 months) until I played with the settings on the eblade oops. Had to change it back to factory settings because of that then look online for some better settings than factory fast. (very easy to do). Then my last issue I had set the eye detect to high so it wasn't detecting balls 100% of the time. Easy to fix. Again my own dumb fault.

Now the marker works like a champ but I don't play with it anymore becuase I have changed over to pump. Whatever. Still is a great gun. All the problems here were caused by human error my own and the previous owner. There are a lot of sites online that will tell you exactly what to do with one if you don't know. So if you can get one cheap that you are decently sure is in good shape then go for it.

I would still go for a proto because I like how they feel and I have 3 autocockers now. Only one ebladed. If you haven't done it yet try shooting them. It will help in your decision if you have a field near you.

Oh and yes I play with a RT uled mag with a 90 Frame on it. Only reason I am not supporting the marker right now is because our fun loving buyer said he already has an emag and wants a diffrent style.

Ive always been a fan of the Angel 05 speeds. With the 06's out you can get them set up for about $500ish.

Secondly, I think that DMs shoot really nice. I dont quite like the looks of them, but you cant argue with the way they perform.

I'm sorta in the same situation -- And for now, my next marker will be an '06 Matrix -- but will buy it AFTER the '07 comes out. Gotta love Depreciation !!!

I saw a pink 05 speed on angelowners.com for $500. I really like the feel of the new angel 45 frames.
