autococker questions

I'd like to start off by saying I dont own any autocockers, just have some questions

1) Why do them seem so expensive?

2) I've heard the trilogy series is trash. What makes them so bad?

3) The psychoballisitcs superbolt. Is this an actual autococker? Can someone give me some background info on it? Is it a good gun? The price is very alluring.

Autocockers were one of like two high end choices back in the day. A basic cocker could easily cost $500 and they're highly regarded among older players and connoisseurs, thus they seem expensive, but you can easily pick a good cocker that cost $500 a few years ago up for $100 these days. Hell, dye reflexes were $1000 markers when they came out, now they're going for $150.

Trilogies aren't trash trash. People don't like them because there's not much you can do to upgrade them, not like a true cocker anyway. It is true that wgp lowered the quality standards when they started making their markers in china, but they're decent, just not upgradeable.

Psychoballistics are true cockers, good for tinkering and learning about cockers, but otherwise they are pretty much garbage. The pneumatics are low end and the quality of just about all parts but the body is rather poor. The body and bolt are decent, so if you buy a good frame and good pneus, they make good cockers when they're timed well.

Thanks for the info. I was definitely thinking of picking up an autococker. Which models are priced below 200 and are pretty good?

For $200 you can get youself a nice autococker. Which cocker will depend what you want, autocockers vary a lot in shapes and styles and are very customizable, a lot of them have been modified to the previous owner's preference. There's also electronic vs mechanical to consider

If you want stock, here's what i think is good in cockers. Others might disagree, so bear in mind that this is my opinion.

Electronic you won't find many going for $200, maybe a 2005 wgp superstock or a modified pre 2004. I've seen some nicely modified 2003 vertical feeds going for $250.

Mechanical, there's a world out there, wgp, dye, planet eclipse and many more makers, hell even bob long, they all made some really nice nice high end mech cockers at one point or another.

i picked up my 04 superstock (electric) for $200, and now iv dumped about another $200-$300 into it and it is crazy awsome, but look into the oracle or a superstock for starters i think they will be your two best options if you are looking for something thats not too old and is still electronic

i was looking for mine a while back, here is a link to the thread i started

is this a good price? im still an autococker noob

links are going to be outdated but the topic i think will help
