Love the system X pneus

You hit the nail right on the head. I think i build an autococker or automag every winter LOL

Update for the game.
Blew the o rings in my rock. One of the ladies at OXCC says I can fix your cocker.
My Rock Reg is pre slat, that how old we are talking. After we can get it apart right then she asks if that was what I was going to play with?
Do you want to use my cocker?
Who doesn't love cocker people.

Yeh, I have built a few cockers as well as a mag. Didn't have the mag long but it was fun while I did. I actually had the instructional video from automag, awesome. Had an ANS gx-3 chaos that I later turned into and electro and ended up selling it after a few years. Then had a 2k with sto parts. Then converted that same one to a pump, which I still have. I also kept the pneus from it. Unlike most people that just trash them, I saved mine and keep them in good condition in case I decide to switch back to mech.

Thanks...wondered if anyone would recognize the pneumatics.

I took it out on Sunday to the field and forgot my loader. Most loaders now days have larger feed necks. I was really looking forward to a straight up mech day at the field. This gun has been down for such a long time.

I will admit I have been looking at upgrading to an electric. The one thing I noticed that is different from the last time I was in marker purchase mode. All the guns today look the same.
I cannot tell the difference between a an e Tek, a rail/ reflex, or a victory.

Agreed! It seems like they all shoot the same too, popits are louder thats all I notice.. doesn't even feel like you're shooting anything.

Shot an Ecocker a couple months ago and fell in love... now I got a Karnivor on the way and never plan on leaving the autococker family.

I was so happy to see a couple cocker pumps at my field last weekend

I have as well, it's just not cost effective though for me. The only place I can find what I would need is paintball gateway, and with the duty costs it would end up being more expensive that buying a totally new marker.

Plus I enjoy my mech/pumps for bad weather.

i used my trilly for the first time last weekend after its been sitting in the closet for 2 years. shot like a champ, best $75 gun ever. had to rep the trillys cause i saw some hate up in huuurrrr

also, i miss my karnivor.

baconquilt · 03-27-2012, 10:52 AM

is that a jacko barrel on that trilly?

blame it on god · 03-27-2012, 11:38 AM

When I bring my EVO out I get asked "what is that?" a lot. I don't mind. Most of them haven't been playing long enough to know.

My favorite is when I bring out my half block, mini'd 03 VF with e-blade. And I get asked "What year ego is that?"

NargofWoV · 03-27-2012, 03:09 PM

Heh, " what year ego is that... " too funny.

PureInsanity · 03-27-2012, 03:51 PM

i would be shooting one if i could find a nice PE (or similar) hinge to put on it.

this thread makes me want to rebuild the pneumatics on my orracle...

inmylife2415 · 03-27-2012, 04:08 PM

I just got rid of a PE hinge a few months ago. As a matter of fact I gave it away the e-bladed cocker I sold. I'm pretty sure I gave it to him anyway.

Potluck · 03-27-2012, 08:47 PM

I went out to pick up a new 3 way for my mini and the guy in the store showed a hinge trigger I had no idea what I was missing.
His next line, $120 and itw yours, a mini with a Dye hinge, an inline reg, and 14 in barrel if I wasn't switchig careers in a month it would be mine.

"Come back when anytime people don't buy cockers." Heartbreak

Not so much hate as annoyance- for $75 you couldn't beat that. For me the trillis always felt small in my hands and i could never fit two fingers on the trigger!
My two and soon to be in the market for a Karni/Orri

sledneckforlife · 03-28-2012, 06:13 PM

I throw up in my mouth alittle when I see all the hinge trigger cockers...learn to shoot a slide and learn to hit your target...learn timing and get respect from ole school paintballers...(stepping off my soap box now)

NargofWoV · 03-28-2012, 07:57 PM

Hey now, I have one of each... a slide 45 grip in chrome and a wgp hinge... What does that make me? Schitzo?

shockler · 03-29-2012, 12:26 AM

All it takes is 1 local guy to destroy the field with his cocker and everybody starts regretting selling theirs and has to get another one.I like playing pump,but flip from my pump to my 2k5 when there are to many trigger happy electro's trying to show off on rec ball.Ive even used cockers for tourneys.But that was a long time ago.
