One thing that always springs to mind with shockers....

Efficiency !!!

But this should be sorted soon with all the aftermarker bolts coming out, but some are priced around the £90 mark :eek:

My paintbill has gone up!!!!!!


The on/off switch is small and hard to push with gloves on.

The air consumption is "shocking". Get 5 pots and a hopper on a 4500psi fill, with a bit left.As said above the bolt kit will solve this.

Some people have First Shot Drop Off, this can be solved by adjusting the gun. Check out shockerowners or IOG forums.

I have had two, and got to say, that been very pleased. Just changed one for a Viking, baby that rocks!

So basically nothing new there then and of course Smart parts produce a marker that they know damned well is gonna need after sale modifications to improve performance and of course make more money (typical of Smart Parts)

To be honest ozkoseoglu i would save ya money and buy something else that is already modified up to the hilt and is gas efficient;)

I still carn't understand why the people who made the marker carn't design a bolt that all these other companys have so you can empty your pack without a huge 1.5bottle :(

They should of taken there time and not rushed to get the masker out asap :(

Anyways Impy's all the way...............:D

Well, I've only met one person with a 2003 Shocker and he wasnt best pleased with it.

Terrible FSDO straight out of the box.

Aftermarkert ad-ons reason : If SP come up with some "CHA CHING!"

Once the problems are ironed out, they'll have a small profile, fast(comparitivly) and light marker. That'll sell it, plus endorsement by Dynasty etc.

Though if they dont get rid of the problems, they'll be trying to sell a lemon.

well, you guys are right about the aftermarket products. I just can't stand a company who lets others improve their base model.

what about the accuracy? the weight? I mean, I had (and still have) a 4x4 turbo which I like taking with me to games once in a while. The accuracy is amazing! worth the effort of maintainance.

What's left of the good old shocker? if any? :rolleyes:

Also it is relatively cheap compared to other markers such as Angel and e-blade cockers. What's that about? The marketing strategy of Max Flow reg or just the worth of it? :D

That's the last thing they did! Hardly a rush when it was released about a year after it was announced.
