Shockers

[RainbowShooter]

Not really been a fan of shockers but I've decided I should probably just get one for the hell of it. Not really sure how the years/models of these work so I'm just wondering if anyone could briefly explain it. And anything else I should be aware of when buying the little beasties. Muchos love

Make sure it works.

Simple as that, if it looks good too, obviously, theres not much to avoid, stock board is pants though.

Modles, you had teh shoebox 1995-2002

SFT 2003 - 2006

NXT 2006 -

The sft range had minor changes made but in essence an 03 is the same as an 06, just make sure it has a High Efficiency bolt kit (HE) otherwise you will be playing conected to H-PAC, NXT's come stock with a HE bolt.

wow, awesome advice there.


Buy whatever you like but like Balf says make sure it had an upped board, HE bolt and actually works.

Get a bad one, and you might as well throw it in the bin as far as im aware.

as long as the noid is working and you have a good seal around the bolt inside you shouldn't have any problems. Noids tend to be the things that go first. But you can just get a new one.

i'm shooting an 06 shocker at the moment, like balf says upped boards turn them into mowing machines, and the he bolt i have in shoots about 800 to 1000 shots out a 4500 68ci tank full, shoot harder paint though because when your firing fast the bolt can break the balls, but if you turn vision on then you can shoot all day without any breaks, but i still reccomend hard paint to be safe, and a slik trigger, overall its a very consitant marker and easy to shoot all day, and cheap

Many thanks to you all (well apart from one) thats all the information I needed So basically a NXT with a decent board will do my perfectly.

yup, personally I'd reccomend a SFT but thats personal bias.

why sft over nxt???

why sft over nxt???

Nothing, but balfs personal preference. They are the same, just a different look (and BB eye's but lets not nit pick)
