i aint a big gun buff but ive owned egos and many other markers. im not super confident when it comes to stripping and cleaning markers, i leave it to people in the know but i stripped my ego (ive had a 05 and a 06), cleaned, lubed and re-assembled with no problems or leaks. real easy :) cant say bout shockers cause ive never messed with 1.

owned ions, timmies, angels, egos, mini, loads of site guns (low end stuff)

i think the biggest difference is that an ego is an open bolt marker and shockers are closed bolt.

i think that means that egos and similar u can remove the bolt with a simple pull on a pin holding it to the rammer or similar. closed bolt means u need to remove a cap or something, usually meaning allen keys n watnot.

hope this helps and hoping its right :D

shockers are piss to take apart, the only thing i would be worried about is having to lube the noid every so often. - easy as along as you put it all back together correctly.


never having had an ego i couldnt comment


all high end markers are about the same for maintenance etc. so its really down to personal preference over which you like to shoot most, shockers are a dream to shoot, ego's are loud and imo ugly - but then we all have opinions

i'd have to agree with gassy. not the sheep thing but egos are awesome and simple when cleaning and problem solving + planet eclipse are awesome
But I only said the sheep thing,so how can you agree with me but not about the sheep thing.

Personally I would not have an ego as I don't like they way they shoot But the ego army on here is massive and loads of players love them.Swings and roundabouts try both then decide.

what your happy with, what it costs and what it looks like is what you want to take into consideration.

Check the reviews of some of the top end markers (PBREVIEW.COM)

depends what bolt system and other things your happy with...
if you have as much money as you want... your a lucky boy, hey, you can give me some of that spare cash if you like :p

And the looks... if it looks bloody goregous to you, go for it, but its performance you want...
look on youtube and stuff to see what theyre like too...
