I'm almost positive my next gun is going to be an electronic cocker but need
some advice on parts. Most important to me is efficiency and low kick. I assume any electronic grip will be plenty fast enough for me - I'm stepping up to this from a Blazer. My dream gun would be an electronic Blazer but since there's no easy way to get that, I want the next best thing. So I need help with the major decisions. Gripframe - I want an electro frame that I can easily set so that no ref in his right mind will think it's anything but pure semi-auto. I want to completely avoid cheating of any kind with this. If it even has the ability to ramp, I dont want it. What are my options? There's the Racegun and E-Blade 1 & 2, obviously. Anything else I should look at? Barrel - Either a nice barrel kit or 2 or 3 good one-piece barrels. Any recommendations on a kit? Front block - I love my Blazer so I'm sold on the Micro-Rock, no doubt. What should I look for in a ram, or what ram should I look at? Reg - I'm a believer in the Stabilizer. Might even go for a Fatty if this thing ends up low-pressure enough. I've heard a lot about MacDev's reg but have zero experience with it. Any input on this decision? Internals - NO idea what's going on here. None at all. What should I look for in a bolt or valve? Body - Is any body better than another? Don't need anything incredibly fancy, just simple milling that will look good in a glossy black. I have a Y-Board Egg2 on the Blazer right now. I like the high capacity so I'm pretty sure I'll stick with it instead of a Reloader B (only other one I'd consider). And a clamping feedneck of some kind, some DYE Sticky 3's, nice looking beavertail, cocking rod, back block, etc. Any performance issues to consider with any of these smaller things? What have I missed? Joel Hoyt |

dont get the last cocker, cant remember their names, but look for an 04
or 03 cocker, they have nice milling. racegun or e-blade, any of them will do the job, barrel a kit is good, but 2-3 barrel with different bore is fine..u could get a palmer front block if u like it but be surwe to have a quick exhaust system... try to find to right body for u , like centerfeed ...internal you could get another bolt but this is not a priority..most of the things u said, like back block r mostly cosmetic one.... i say first get a cocker, try it, and if you like it enough, then get a e-grip for it. then the rest will come ......it also depend if you play tourney, rec... |

Why would you buy a palmer front block kit when he's going electro, and that
requires it's own front block bits??? >u could get a palmer front block if u like it but be >surwe to have a quick exhaust system The below is not even remotely true anymore. I played a big game a couple weeks ago and was amazed to find that most of the rec ballers out there seem to all have e-guns of one kind of another...and we're not talking e-spyders....I saw more matrixes and e-cockers that day than I had in pretty much all my time playing (I've been out of the game for a little over a year now). If its me, and I'm buying a new gun, and I want an e-cocker, I look at the karnivorr, or any of the electros from planet paintball.

When the TECHNOLOGY becomes more important than THE GAME it's time to take a step back and ask yourself, which do I enjoy more, playing paintball, or engineering? And If you haven't owned an E-Cocker before, wouldn't it make sense to start with a basic model and decide over time which mods (if any) are really needed, on the theory that what ain't broke don't need fixing? And if you are going to trick out an already fairly extreme gun, are you really going to spend money based on recommendations online from people who may or may not have a clue what they're talking about? Your initial post sounded like, "I'm thinking of getting back into gardening, maybe grow some roses, which model bulldozer should I buy and should I order it with the supercharger and backhoe attachement? Hey, if you enjoy the chrome plating, cool, that's no crime. It just struck me as an odd way to go about buying a new paintgun, especially a fairly expensive one, but to each his own. Personally, I think at least half of the money people spend on fancy paintguns would better be spent on paint and field time, but that's just me. |

Doug I now use a non-electro freeflow cocker and just love the shit outta
it. I will never be an ironmen or play for dynasty but my freeflow stands up to any electro in a rec speedball x-ball game....
