Ok, so you just bought your first autococker, let’s say it’s a new stock WGP. It shoots ok, but you want more, so here’s a quick guide about how you can go about upgrading your cocker with all the hip, agg new parts out there.
Hopper
Although this isn’t a direct upgrade for the gun, it is still a good idea to get a motorized hopper. There are a few choices out there, I personally would get the Empire Re-Loader, a great bang for the buck, unless you plan on ebladeing your cocker, you probably won’t outshoot it.
HPA
You need HPA to run an autococker efficiently, although you could use anti-siphon c02, it is better to use HPA.
Barrel
The next step in upgrading your marker is to upgrade the barrel. I would suggest anything in the 10’’-14’’ range, anything above that is pointless. Lower priced barrels like the JnJ ceramic, CP 2 piece, are both great barrels for the price. The dye ultralight and boomstick are great higher priced barrels, and there are also barrel kits, which are very nice to have. If you want a complete list of barrels, check out P4INT B4LLS article

Front Block
There are three things in the front block of an autococker, the 3-way, ram, and LPR. You can either buy a front block kit, or get the three parts individually. The Orracle, Shocktech and Dye 3 ways are especially nice, the dye running at 34.99 at my local shop. Next is the ram, which helps your marker run smoother and reach a higher BPS. Last is the LPR, which regulates how much pressure is being used to fire the gun. I would suggest an adjustable LPR, such as the one Shocktech makes.
Regulator
The regulator is the part that regulates the pressure going into the gun. The stock regulator is not that great, I would suggest getting an aftermarket one, made by componys such as Palmers Pursuit Shop, P&P Products, ANS, etc.
Bolt
Getting a new bolt will greatly reduce ball chopping in your autococker. Aftermarket bolts are now made of delron and another material I can’t think of right now (someone help here!). Superfly is a great bolt to use, along with the OTB bolt, Shocktech, ANS,etc.
Valve
The valve is another thing you should upgrade with your internals, a rat valve is a good one, along with the eclipse.
E-Blade
The granddaddy of all upgrades for your cocker, It replaces the 3-way and the bolt and the frame to make it electronic. You can fire 10x faster and still get the great efficency as you did before with your autococker.
There, I think that’s mostly everything, I will update this with pictures and customizing tips, like anodizing, milling, new bodies, etc. I hope this helps a little.
