Cocker Reliability...

Hey guys,

I have been debating between a WGP 05 Pro Stock and an SP Ion. I decided to go with the WGP because am I never going to need 15 BPS and if I really do need it I can just buy an e-blade later. However, one concern I have with the WGP is the maintance issue...I heard that they can be very problematic and I probably wont know how to fix it... Im using N2 not co2 and I dont know what problems I might encounter (less than i would with with Co2).

What are some of the most common problems with them?

Thanks

there arent many problem and the one i can think of are miner. one is that is you put the bolt in upside down it will stopp working until you turn it over but thats true of any gun and if you dont pull the trigger back all the way youll short stop. but as far as it breaking it shouldnt for a while if you take good care of it

i forgot who i stole this line from but yeah:

Most cocker problems created came from the user

And my favorite line
A cocker is like a super-model, they are hott, sexy, and perform great. But push them to hard and your screwed, and not the good kind of screwed.




so with that said
if the cocker is working fine dont mess with it.

here's the thread:

ahhhhhhh

and what this means, Dwillis03, is that if you don't know what your doing, you could wind up very frustrated with your cocker.

all the cocker guys will hate me for it, but as a cocker owner and an ion owner i can say it.

a pro stock cocker isn't even in the same league as an ion. To bring a prostock, which is a mechanial gun, up to speed with the fully electro pnumatic ion...you better be ready to drop 300 more bux into it. Bad idea...

^blasphemy!
Ions>mech cockers

don't get a prostock. Ions are smaller, faster, LIGHTER, cheaper and just better in general. I'm a cocker guy but I would take an ion over most cockers any day.

the gun has to fit your style if you like prostocks go for it but if you like ions thats great just make sure youll be happy with it. like me i could have got a b2k i shot it didnt fit me so i sold it to one of my freinds and i got a cocker
