right on, thanks.the cocker im buyin is a wgp put out in 2000 with a cf tank,12v revi and a boom stick for 350. its from a buddy so it works .no e grip though????is that bad...yes i already have a imagine with a teardrop,sp drop forward, 1st gen venturi bolt and an e grip. whats better?????
An electro-Spyder versus an old Mechanical-style cocker??
Spyder all the way! Spyder's can be upgraded well and easily to change the characteristics of the marker and YOU CAN DO IT YOURSELF, even if you don't have a techie-oriented mind.
A cocker is a beast of a thing to muck about with and there is a lot to go wrong. They are not easy to diagnose and inevitably end up being shipped off for repairs or services
E-Spyders are fast, Mechanical autocockers aren't, and an e-frame is going to cost you almost as much as most of the E-spyders or clones. alright if you're swimming in cash, not so good if you're not.
And i'm not sure why jack makes the distinction, but Spyders run on Co2 or Air also.
My Spyder doesn't chop if fed by a good hopper and we use brittle paint at the Brewery Site more often than not.
The only realy advantage of a mech cocker over a Spyder is (and it's debatable, always will be) accuracy. Supposedly closed bolt markers are more accurate...but as I say, opinions are divided.
If you're a newbie, I would say that a cocker is not for you, but that's just my opinion, I looked at one when starting out, got a lot of opinions and eventually was constructively persuaded to take up the Spyder. It's all up to how you feel with it I guess.

ok i bought the cocker( I had some second thoughts). The tank is a monster 98ci, 45 frame(yuk) and a old school9v hard plastic revi(I love those things). I love my spyder its hooked up smart parts drop,nitro,1st generation venturi(yup i made it work in the imagine),teardrop and the stubby java neck.
I know that the cockers of today may be superior. but there is no way that this bulky thing is that much better. without a e trigger there is no doubt. My spyder kicks ass, but the cocker will make a sweet back up gun
