cocker trilogy pro

Scars

Retired tattooed lout!
sounds like your minds already made up....

the trilogies in a vicious price bracket at the moment, with markers like the wrath,ion and pro master which are proven tornament competative markers.. the trilogy, whilst being an old personal favourite for a good number of players that have been playing a while, but its a mechanical marker so won't particularly shoot quick.. out of experience i found cockers more trouble than there worth, loose timing quiet easily and found it a gamble everytime i got it out the bag.

If you want to save a couple of quid, then go for the the trilogy but i will almost guarentee it will be on the classifieds forum in a couple of months and you wanting something a little more performance

As Scars says, wouldn't recommend anyone to buy a mechanical marker, electros are the way to go due to speed of fire.

Personally I like cockers and have several. Am slowly working my way through the technical side of them so all is cool. All of my cockers though are E-blades with Zero-B boards or E2's.

As a starting marker I would look on the classifieds, you will get a lot more for your money with 2nd hand kit.

If you buy a mechanical cocker you will struggle to sell it afterwards. E-Bladed cockers go for sub £200 these days.

Yeah, basically two great pieces of advice already. Second hand kit is almost definately the best thing for you to buy if you're starting out. If you bought a mechanical marker and got into paintball properly like said above you'd be looking to sell it as fast as you can hehe. Im not sure how much the Trilogy cockers are selling for these days. But im sure for a tiny bit more you could get a second hand Eblade cocker which would be far greater value for your money.

You should be careful with cockers, dont listen to everything people say about them, generally speaking they are very reliable guns and if taken care of thoroughly should serve you very well indeed. There are some aspects of them which can go wrong, particularly the timing of the cycle etc, but thats something which with a little bit of know-how can easily be resolved.

I would say that if you are looking for a gun, a second hand E1 Cocker or an Ion or something like that would serve you perfectly. Like said above, I think you will really feel the need to upgrade if you start with a mech cocker, and also the resale value on them is terrible at the moment.
