Decisions ....

[superbully]

if you had a choice, what would you go for from the following?

Brand new spyder shutter =160 sovs
Brand new JT 5.0 excellorator = around the same cash
or a second hand automag, good few years old now, 4 barrels, air system, few other add on bits for 200 Sovs?

thx for the opinions...

Easy - Go for the Mag, esp. as you get everything ready to rock!

Difference

How much difference is there between a cocker and an automag?

and what are those differences?

I went for a secondhand cocker in the end....
it's lovely....

problem with cockers is that the timing needs to be sweet to get thm working properly. i'd get it srvced right away and make sure it's well maintained.

other than that, cockers are a great gun for larger fields!!

If that cocker works, don't do anything to it. Keep it clean and don't adjust anything. Most people who have problems were trying to "enhance performance" by adjusting things. There are a few aftermarket bits that do, in my view, enhance performance, but if it ain't broke...

bursting

well... I THINK it's working ok.

I air it up and dial the regulator on the front pneumatics so that the thing is firing well. Then I give it another 1/4 turn in to make sure that the thing cycles well at faster trigger pulls (like someone advised me to do) so far so good. cycles nice.

Last night I had a game of indoor paintball and it was bursting balls like a ******* !! On inspection it seemed that the balls were only bursting in the barrel because there was no paint in the feed/bolt/hopper area.

My theory is that it was the sites paintballs because I tested it again today with my own paintballs and fired around 90 off and no bursts. Maybe I need some different barrels to cope with different sizes of paint when I have to use site paints?

I don't think it was my cocker, think it was the paint. What are your views?

I think you are right.

If you are chopping, you will see paint around the bolt, feedneck, and/or on the bolt face most likely.
