And I'm in the 'cocker camp too.  People who moan about them being hard to set up are just ham fisted and don't do it right the 1st time.  I shot 3 cases of paint through my Mech autococker over 5 different weekends and never had the change a thing.

+1 used to get shit w/the team I was running w/... "you can't play front w/a cocker" blah blah blah. maybe I just don't need to waste so much paint, eh?  ;D

that gun was the shizzle. +/-1 over chrono all day, every day. I just had to air up and go.

ahhh... good times.

we never had front, middle, and rear position

we flipped it 90 degrees and ran side middle side

tended to run from the sideline and pivoted off the middle

and usually used three cockers as the fulcrum

they are loud and accurate

keeps people's attention

the only downfall I will concede to the cocker is chopping balls when you short stroke it  (yeah yeah, I said it, perverts)

get too excited, lose your rhythm, and it's all over

and you can never get the make the beast with two backsing bolt out when some asshole is trying to shoot you in your head

Lets combine it with a ride. We can hit 711 area around Johnstown and Seven Springs on the bikes and play paintball at the cliffs at Lynn Run. My old stomping grounds! I have a friend in Latrobe where we can use as home base.

not too far from johnstown is the smart parts / all american arena in greensburg.
or we can hit up Riverside Renegades in Pittsburgh, been playing there for over 10 years.
i really need to start going to penndesmo.com

count me in for this if we have a game somewhere in PA/OH!

I think it's a matter of setting up the gun's timing to your particular style of shooting. I never had any major problems, and I built my first cocker w/o ever shooting one beforehand.

I played right tape, up front. had an angel S/F for my backup gun.... ended up selling it because it never got used  [evil]

I'd suggest going on the ride first just in case someone get's pissed in the match.....  Unless of course everyone knows each other.  It is the internet afterall.   :P

 Hitting Smart Parts is a no brainer as far as I am concerned. I grew up in Greensburg and am a dealer for a few of their products from one of my distributors.

Yes you do...  I installed SMF (same as this forum) a few months ago so it's a lot better than it used to be.

There's a lot of folks who play on here. Not sure I could drum up a team from CAM - but I've been playing for years.  Last couple I went retro and been playing almost exclusively with Orracle bodied Sniper that I pieced together.


Tippys are still (for the most part) all mechanical - though you can electrify them.  And I'm in the 'cocker camp too.  People who moan about them being hard to set up are just ham fisted and don't do it right the 1st time.  I shot 3 cases of paint through my Mech autococker over 5 different weekends and never had the change a thing.

Yuu, I'm in for the CAMmers.  I think we can drum up enough interest
