I'm looking at getting a Shocker but as a back player I need to squeeze as many shots out of it as possible.

I was thinking of the Evolve bolt, has anyone had experience with these what sort of gas mileage could i expect from the kit?

I really need to be able to shoot 7-8 pots plus Hopper.

Opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

not really help the way your after it bud but if you have the option - buy a NDZ stinger bolt they are by far the best shocker bolts out there and up your shot per fill ratio by miles - not to take anything away from the evolve bolt but given the choice ;)

The main thing that is going to limit your pot count is the size of tank and the pressure it works at.

I have a shocker with Evolve kit that did increase the amount of shots I got from a tank but remember that the Evolve will take a at least a few hundred ball to break in then it gets much better. Not tryed the NDZ bolt so don't know what they are like.

Most of the kits are much of a muchness, there now bringing out these new firing chambers which will allow you to squeeze a little bit more volume.

i had an evolve kit and i was very impressed, the support is good as they are a UK company and they are very friendly and have given me stuff in the past.


As for newdesignz ive seen and heard of shabby tolorences when machining, a common problem people seem to have is when people try to install there kits in standard bodies (with the windows over the firing can) the oring meant to seal the window tears and causes a large leak. I also received a trigger from them that was 2 fat to fit in the frame so i had to take a file to it.

having said that though i havent seen bolt window problem in person only read reports.

Thanx for the response guys!

I've been doing some homework and have heard some mixed reviews abot both the NDZ and Evolve kits.

I'll be happy if I can get 7 pots and a hopper from a 1.1 4500 tank, so if I can get that from the SP HE kit, it might be worth a look too.

Cheers.

You should be able to get that off a 4500 fill in a 1.1 bottle with a Evolve kit, skeet will be able to sort you out with one probably. But as I said don't expect instant results in will take a while to break in.

Evolve are a superb company and quite literaly(sp) will go out of there way to help you - have dealt with them about DM bolts,shocker bolts and angel upgrades and they are unsurpassed as far as customer support goes this however does not take away from the fact that most (all)of the people that cant get the NDZ bolt installed properly and thus have given it a bad review are ****ing idiots
