Ofcourse it has to do with the higher gas consumption on a Cocker, compared to an Angel or Timmy...... and the fact that you just don't get beyond 12-14 BPS on a Matrix or Impulse.
If your cocker is getting worse gas consumption than the Timmy then you need to check it over. Mine with a race frame will blow most other guns away for efficiency (does depend on bolt and springing/running pressure). Angel when set up right can also be super efficient. In fact all of those guns can be tuned to be very efficient.
I don't have a Max flow right now, but most of my air systems have been able to keep up with less efficient guns than the cocker running at 20bps and more
The only one that couldn't was an old unireg.
My Armageddon and flatline 4500 and AIR seem to be just fine.
It's very hard to monitor an air system during rapid flow because of all the changes taking place (certainly some demo's you have seen with fluid filled gauges are NOT very valid in my opinion). Ask John Rice about it sometime...
Many gun valving systems actually work to keep the velocity even though they may be getting supplied a lower air pressure. That's actually one of the best things about 'knock open' valve designs, which are found in autocockers, angels and intimidators, they self compensate...
Often drop off with guns like Angels and Initimidators is due to the LPR. The great thing about the cocker is that the hammer is independently controlled from the Air source (a spring, there fore as long as the gun cocks the valve will be hit the same).
Seems you buy the SP hype on the Max Flow (it is one of the best actually) but not on the impulse anymore... hmm
