Take this in account then.
The Cocker is a gun you can modify until the cow comes home.
Of all the guns it's the proverbial paintball money pit. Meaning you'll be spending a dandy, just to keep it "up-to-date."
If you go with the mechanical Turtle, you won't be happy. Because it won't be fast enough on the field.
With that said, go to Firstcallpaintball.com and buy the Angel Speed package.
It comes with the only upgrades you need. The A4 bolt and middle sized Volumizer.
Go with that, and you'll never have to worry about wasting your money.
In all honesty, I don't need the cockers. I'll be happy with the Angel. Only problem is, I like the tightness and the lightness of the Turtle. I wish the Angel could be that small and then I'd always shoot it.
Time and time again, its always the Speed that ends up being the gun that works when I need it. Its dummy proof. Put air in turn it on and it works.
With cockers, any cocker. You have to be smart. I'm tired of being smart. I just want to play. Play and don't spend time working on your gun all the time. Meaning- get the Speed and you won't worry about messing with all the cocker nonsense.
My beef is- You have to know the cocker to own one. And once you know it, everyone will come to you to get theirs fixed. Well, I rather be playing than helping someone out with their cocker. I'll still help them, but I rather be playing. Catch my drift?
Get good grades in Highschool and College, and you'll get a sweet job too. I love my job. They pay me to train the good guys how to kill the bad guys. But being a doctor or lawyer is good too!
