shocker likes / dislikes

[blip]

I'm getting a shocker this april and i was curious to know if there are any likes and dislikes y'all had with them...I used one this weekend and it was really light and fast... any thing I should know before i buy it?

the first time I shot my shocker I couldn't stop laughing cause it was so fast. So bring a change of underwear incase you pee yourself

That sums it up right there.

Just wondering, but how often [Philly Americans] do your guns go down? I assume rarely, if ever, since you're playing "pro" X-ball, but just wondering.

Ya, Adam Gardner

Yup, Adam was playing with us but decided to retire this year. He is still on the roster and he will be missed on the field. As for our guns, the guys who never take care of their stuff are the ones who have problems (if any). A lot of us take care of our stuff and have hardly any problems. It does help having techs in our pit area:) TO BLIP-- The shocker is a great marker but you have to take care of it and grease it regularly. It isn't a gun that you can trow in your bag and not take care of it. If you take care of it, it will take care of you:)

I think they kind of cant help it...anyone who shoots a shocker for a few seasons gets to know the gun inside and out...however I dont think their shocker techs by trade.

i kinda figured that, but just wanted to make sure. a friend of mine was telling me how they had to be techs or be able to pass tech training or something

thanks DanSnack59...i really did almost pee my pants when i used it this past weekend...thanks and have a great season philly

[bigtony13]

told you!

[blip]

bigtony13: yup...

oh one more question...

egg or halo...i'm going for the lightest setup, but don't want to lose too much on the speed of the hopper...any recommendations?

[WDPaintbaLLa]

Halo its a lil heavier but def. worth the speed

[texas_toast]

Egg? are u kidding? pff, might as well put a big blob of electrical tape with batteries and pieces of plastic on toip of your gun instead

Buy an Empire Halo

[gijoe1254]

not to hijack your thread, but do you guys plan on shooting nerves? just wondering casue I always assumed that when the Nerve came out you'd guys switch over to them.

[bounce this]

shocker>nerve anyday

blip: i've ahd both on my shocker and the halo is much better anyday...even seemed like it made my gun quieter

[blip]

thanks guys...that helps me make my decision a little easier...can't wait til April...got too many bills this month, but i think i can wait 4 weeks

peace

[gijoe1254]

I know the shocker is better than the Nerve( at east in my opnion) but before the Nerve was released I assumed it was goi ng to be Smar Parts flagship marker. I was just wondering why the Americans werent shooting Nerves, persoanl prefrence or some other reason

[1llusion]

My shocker has been down just twice in a little over a year. It was used at least once a week.

[DanSnack59]

A lot of us are really used to our guns and between the Nerve and Shocker is pretty much personal preferences. Also, many of us have seperate private label shocker sponsorships so we have to use the shockers....not that we mind:) Any of the guys who don't have those outside sponsorships can use any gun that SP makes. I know Jason T. is going to use a Nerve now and Caleb was thinking about sporting an ION. So we'll see:D

[speedguy05]

yah guys i was wonderin if i should buy a ION or a Shocker cuz im trying to get rid of my angel i rly dont like it so yah....
