if I'm right its when you don't pull the trigger far enough back on a mech cocker to trip the sear, thus it doesn't fire/fire properly. im sure someone can give you the exact description.

btw, you really should just consider buying an electro marker, there honestly not complicated.

yah....as he said ^^^^^^^
Short stroking your cocker:p is when you do not complete a 'pull' on the trigger which enables the mechanics to run a full cycle.(correct me if i'm wrong, theres quite a few cocker techs on here I know)

When I got my first gat ( a mech cocker) I found it really difficult to walk the trigger without short stroking. In fact it was damn hard to get any sort of speed with it:rolleyes:
Damn accurate gat though;)

hope that helps

yeah i knew i was gunna get sh*t about stroking the cocker haha, yeah i have changed my mind i am going to buy an electro somtime

probaly an ion or a dm4.

i was looking for a marker that was easy to walk but after hearing that you struggled to get any decent speed with the wgp i am going electro.

id advise and ion, they are the perfect intro to electros, and get your self and new trigger for it and a Q'lock to stop your hopper falling off, just check the 1000's of should i get and ion posts there have been

oobermybeer my beer may have a point about the ion, you can pick up fully up'ed ones in the classified section for nothing at all. theres a bloke currently selling an ion with a few ups and an air tank for 90 quid in the wanted section, i'd snap that up!
