Yea really? The package deal with a stock, 16" tactical barrel and a bi-pod.

Didn't think I would go for a milsim but read up on it and it seemed like a good woodsball choice. Played with it last Sunday in a building :rolleyes:. An old psycho hospital.

Went through a 1000 balls and never broke one. Rate of fire is more then good enough just got to remember to turn on the hopper so I don't get shot firing air at players :(. No recoil, well balanced and stable even on full auto. Cleaning is a breeze with the only worry loosing one of the several provided keys.

Really the only thing that bugs me is the barrel. Around here (Poland) only small balls available. They roll freely through this barrel. Longer distance grouping isn't all that great. Not bad but not great either. Think I'll play a couple more times and then probably go for the freak with a couple of the smaller inserts for the time being.

The whole marker with the stock and the 16" barrel was also a bit too long for building play but should be quite nice for woods. Registered for the coming Saturday in a big event in Warsaw. 600 players in a woods scenario game. That should be fun with paint flowing freely.

Sp1

SP1 + L7 bolt + Virtue board + 4500 psi 1.1 bottle + Dye Rotor

You'll be sweet for all your rec-balling. Solid marker with no eyes to go wrong, rapid rate of fire with a good hopper, the standard short barrel is a large caliber but you'll get very few breaks even with not so good paint. Just keep some small nuts and bolts handy as you will end up losing them from the neck clamp and it's not cool to lose your hopper.

Happy paintballing :D

Don't worry about losing allen wrenches as they are standard imperial wrenches so readily available. If the shocker is stock it came with a .693 all american barrel meaning you will only have to pay for the insert an barrel back of the freak kit as the AA and freak tips are interchangeable(one of the few good things SP did) I'd recommeced setting the gun up properly(ish)

Bolt Setup
Start at low dwell and pressure (~130).
Raise dwell until gun cycles and shoots
Raise pressure to fps
Drop dwell until gun does not cycle
add 1 point of dwell
Pressure to FPS

that is my foolproof method for near perfection of bolt setup, as you are playing woodsball efficiency will be key so a very good setup is essential to maximise the shockers mid range efficiency stats, using this method with the stock HE bolt kit you should get 1300-15000 shots per 68cu/4500psi fill.

If you feel the need to play sup air, thus requiring a more advanced board over the stock/blackheart board i would highly recommend the Hyperdrive board (plus they are local to you as they are based in Poland somewhere contact Fisz for exact info)

You are talking about a Shocker setup, right? I bought the SP-1 instead.

By the way opened a new tread for SP-1. Its confusing in the Shocket thread

That will teach me to come blazing in in a less than sober state.

There's not much to do with the sp-1 in all honesty they're fine stock.
