aight i'm lookin into a new gat because i'm on a new team and we are gonna play xpsl and stuff but i'm torn between 2, the sft shocker and a 2k5 intimidator i asked around and got opposing opinions so what do u guys think?

shocker are not as efficient, but single tube gives you a smaller profile.

timmy are much more efficient, but is taller compare to the shocker

both are quality markers, but my preference is for the timmy. go shoot both on the field and see which you prefer.

i would take the timmy over the shocker

thanks for the feedback, i've heard that shockers arn't efficient twice now so i think i'll look more into the timmy, because i don't want something thats gonna break on me

what do u guys think of an '05 angel speed?

Just another quick note. Since you are playing the XPSL. Blast (Bob Long's company) has been out at the last couple events providing tech assistant along with some people for Angel. As for Smart Parts they just do PSP events. Just some extra advise when making that purchase.

alright thanks, so pretty much if i get the shocker and it breaks at an event i'm screwed aight so that pretty much eliminates the shocker looks like i'm gonna get the timmy, aight thanks guys

Ya the tech support is always nice. it is either tech support or being able to tech your own gun (and having the spare parts to fix almost anything).

socalaxis · 08-25-2007, 11:55 PM

ya no way i'd be able to tech my own gun haha

Smart parts guns arent hard at all to maintain.
If you maintain it regularly The chances of it breaking/A serious flaw coming out of nowhere is very slim.

hmmm... just makin my decision harder now the shocker does rip.... but so does the timmy, welll thanks for the input everyone i'll figure it out.... eventually..

id get a timmy but only if you are willing to take really good care of it and clean and do maintinence, intimidators are a lot of work

Efficiency doesn't mean the gun is more efficient maintanence wise, they're talking about air efficiency, or more shots per tank.

Get an Sl74..it's comprable to those 2 guns

socalaxis · 03-01-2008, 10:12 PM

i know i've looked into timmys/ and shockers, i know the shocker now has horrible air efficiency unless you upgrade the reg, get a bolt kit etc../ and timmys just plain rip but are some work its been a while since i first posted this, but i've been through 2 shockers so far and right now i have a Dangerous power fusion

and haha an SL74/ its not like i got 1 grand layin around somewhere, i'm broke =[
