Sounds like the rumor going around that Arsenal is going to be a SP team...sounds like wishful thinking on someone's part...
BE buy Dynasty from Smart parts
- Thread starter MissyQ
- Start date
to be fair, would brass eagle even be able to out bid smartparts for a team like dynasty, and if so, why would smartparts give up one of the most fasionable and advertisable teams in the world. they would be completely insane
Brass eagle are owned by K2 which is a much larger company than Smart Parts can ever wish to be. so they could easily out bid them.
I have no idea if this rumor is true. But it does go with the logic at BE/K2 . They are looking to consolidate their sponsorship $$ into a much smaller number, larger profile and more profesional type of team. Thats why there was such a shake up with their sponsored teams this past season. BE was dismantled, VL Allstars became JT Allstars and were forced to move up to semi pro prematurely. Only to be dropped mid season because they wanted a more profesional group of players ( among other reasons).
If this rumor is true it will be the best marketing WGP has ever had.
Mark my words. If Dynasty starts shooting cockers they will loose more games on average than when they shot shockers/ angels. Those things just do not hold together and they are bound to have more guns go down.

Why does everyone say cocker's alway's break down? I've played all the nppl's for the past 3 year's on cocker sponsored teams, and 90% of the time when any gun let alone a cocker goes down it's operator error. I've never had a cocker problem that wasn't somehow my fault in 15 nppl events and countless local tournament's. This thread is pointless it was a joke. They are not shooting cocker's.
Nice name, BTW
) So what team are we talking 'bout? Or, actually what team are you talkin' about? "Cocker sponsored" isn't very specific. Nor are there many (any?) big time teams shooting cockers right now. I know the JT guys used to really like their cockers--when they were working--but had lots of trouble keeping them up and running. I myself was once upon a time a hardcore cocker guy--and still, from time to time, go out and play with my CCM J2 (the world's sweetest cocker clone) so I ain't anti-cockers. Even so, I wouldn't really want to use them competitively anymore.
So what gun your guys shooting this season?
Lighten up, melonhead. (I'm gonna enjoy saying that.

Melonhead... I have also shot cockers for years on WGP sponsored teams. I can tell you that we were very dissapointed that we could not shoot EGO's last season. Baca is right. They are difficult to keep running properly. In the past, I have had great success with manual cockers. I still have a swing trigger black magic that has never really given me a problem and has shot many people. But those are just not competitive anymore. The E-cockers have major reliability issues. They are getting better but are still way off mark.

Cocker's do require a little extra set up time but they can shoot just as fast and preform just as reliably as any other gun out there. What gun are we shooting this season? Well brass eagle decided they weren't doing any factory teams this year we aren't playing nppls as viewloader. But, I know that the 4 local guy's that are were on the team are still shooting cockers.
I played for Maxim 2 Factory, and Viewloader. We very rarely had problems that weren't our own fault. Once you get them set you just don't touch them. It took us until the 3rd event this year to get them on field and still shooting fast. But once we figured it out they railed but then all that meant was more trips to the robot. Cockers can still be competitive especially w/ the bps cap in the psp. In the NPPL they can to but it just took us 1/2 the year to figure it out. As far as reliability is concerned you set everything and then loc-tite the **** out of it and then your done.Originally posted by Baca Loco
