WGP Markers and Products?

[SabreWolf]

Just wondering why no one seems to be stocking their markers and accessories much?

Used to use cockers when i used to play but now im returning from a long long stint away from the sport, i was hoping to see what was on offer from them, however i dont seem to beable to find anyone in the UK that is dealing with them?

Did i miss something ?

Hi

Cockers can be sourced but mainly from the States, I have not seen any UK stockists for years.

You can get some spares from Bellsales.

Basically the marker design moved towards the simpler and faster markers like DM, EGO, etc and the demand for cockers faded, they were seem as too difficult to maintain etc.

There is still a hardcore following and they are enjoying a resurgence with the increasing popularity of stock class days.

Regards

Thanks for the reply.
Seems a shame really but ohwell, i guess if i want one i have to get a dealer to specially order one in or find second hand.

but yea thanks for the answer

Keep an eye on the forums as there are always cockers coming up and you can pick up sone bargins. I know there are a couple of karni's on at the mo.

second hand would be your best bet matey, most cockers ceased production in the early 00's karnivores etc can be found reasonably cheaply and in good nick. I think I saw a modding company release a new cocker in the US this year but i will need to check who it was.

It is the shockteck sfl, a re-release of an old model they made but updated. no uk stockists though

WGP may have ceased production but other companies still make cockers style markers

That really sucks, some of the original paintball history gone to the dogs and to be bought by a company that makes goggles and low end markers, thats some way to go out

... and JT has been bought out by Empire... you never know you may see cockers from Kee....
