anyone seen the 2003 shocker, if so how is it

[blembiggity]

i saw the new shocker and it is similar looking to the x mag. does anyone have any info on the new shocker. i know i had a 2002 and i hated it, but i heard the new one is alot better. thanks for the info

[blembiggity]

here it is

[FalconGuy016]

ive looked around and that seems to be their only available color?

[IcantBelieveit]

well it has yet to be realeased

[blembiggity]

yes i know it isnt out yet but i am sure someone has shot one because it is made. i was just wondering if someone had a comparison too the other shocker. i was not satisfied with mine when i had it. too much timing problems and a gas hog. hopefully the new one is better. i know they have the new 4500 regs which look nice

Yes, they slimmed them down a lot from the old "shoeboxes". I like 'em. Maybe a tequila sunrise fade on one would look nice.

i would like a gloss black, hell i even like the blue one but i am wondering about performance wise if they have done anything to it. someone let me know if they have heard of anyone shooting one

its an inline, spool valve, single solenoid driven closed bolt marker, very similar to the nova and mayhem. why they are still calling it a shocker, i have no idea. maybe cause its still gunna be a POS..??
light weight? maybe. descent ROF? maybe.. theres not much moving mass (Even the bolt is a thin delrin sleve).. but its relying on a combo of porting and dwell to time the fire/open cycle. efficiency? lets just say "dont believe the hype". after looking at the design, i dont see how it could possibly be very efficient. :-/

out!

I believe SP is claiming something like 1800 shots off a 68/4500, but they also claim that this gun has a flatter trajectory than other guns. They also say it does 18 bps, pretty damn fast for a closed bolt, when it's been proven that a closed bolt marker can't get abovr about 10 without some kind of force feeding. But it looks sweet, so, like I say, don't knock it 'til you've rocked it.

Anyone know how much they are/will be?

[blembiggity]

nicad very informative and i appreciate it. i like the look but will have to get some reviews from people before i even consider buying one. i am not knowcking it just yet but i do have to say i am very disappointed with my 2000 vert feed

[IcantBelieveit]

well i knw i am not comparing apples to apples here, but the cockers have timing issues and regulator issues as well that can be a headace at the field to fix. Just like any marker if setup properly. It can do amazing things. And everyone has a different opinion about different things. The only way you are goin to decide IF YOU like it is to go to the local shope when yhey come out and try it. See how it feels shoots and what not. Smart Parts is a decent company I believe and i thing they have some very good ideas. Sooo lets just wait, and see what the design change has in store.

I give the shocker till 2004 to be able to buy from anywhere in the color you want. I give the Xmag till 2005 for the same.
