Need info on my shocker

[contractkiller]

Being fairly new to all this and not haveing much (well none actually) technical knowledge about my marker, I thought I would ask you guys if you could help me out.

I am going to get myself a hold of an Air bottle for it and I was wondering where can I buy one brand new, and how much will it cost? (Have been told I need a 1.9ltr 300psi bottle)

Another thing, where can I look (website wise) to find out more info on shockers, tried Smartparts.com without much luck).


Cheers!

1.9litre that's a big,big bottle,you would be better off getting a 1.1litre 4500 psi

3000/4500

You should really be looking for a 4500 fixed output reg setup, Shockers are well known for being gas hungry. 1.9l is indeed a big lump to sling under a shocker. 1.5l maybe more suited, and they aint too big.

1.9 liter is only a necessity if your regular field doesn't do 4500 psi fills. I would seek out a 1.5 liter 4500 if fills for it are available.

Definitely go for a 4500 PSI bottle. I'd recommend the 1.5 litre bottle, unless you're a front player and don't shoot much. A 1.5L, 4500 bottle will give you about 9000 - 1100 shots on a good fill and is small enough to still move with. The 1.1 litre bottle will only give you about 600 - 700 shots

Having owned a Shocker for three years, my best piece of advice if to keep her lubed. Stripping her down and cleaning her after a days play may be tedious, but it's essential. She'll thank you for it in the long run.

If you are going to any tournaments then come find me ( play for the 6e marhsalls currently) I'll be happy to give you some tips but as was previously said you need to keep them lubed up. Also the 1.9l 3000psi bottle is big, 4500 psi is better but it depends on if your reg can handle it. smartparts have the manuals for both the max-flow and shcoker on there web-site but if you can't get them let me know and I'll e-mail them to you.
