Ok ive been playing for over a year now and I started playing tournaments about 2 months ago. I currently have a dragun tes but would like to get a 04 vertical autococker and I was wondering if anybody who has shot this gun thinks its a good gun for tournaments a recball. Im sure it is but I would like it if somebody would tell me for sure. Also tell me if my future setup (below) is anygood

2004 Vertical Feed Autococker Marker
Viewloader Evolution II Hopper
Pure Energy 48 ci 300 psi Tank

And how many shot will a 48 ci tank fire?

**Cerebeus** · July 25th, 04:10 PM

It is a great gun but since it's mechanical it will not shoot as fast as the tes.

you may get 500 shots or so out of that tank

**tmaxx_2.5** · July 25th, 04:32 PM

ya, it won't shoot real quick, so if you play back in tournaments thats a dis-advantage. But for a front i guess it'll work. But, looks like a good setup.

autocockers(cockers) are very reliable, easy to maintain, and very accurate. Mine gives me crazy flat shots with no dip for about 100 feet. I love my cocker; but you'll find that a drop forward (try the shocktech stubby drop for CP flame) and an adjustable LPR(low pressure regulator- controls the pressure of the bolt leading to fewer chops and better air effency) will give you much enhanced balence and performance. Also- forget about the Evolution II. You will never outshoot a Revvy or Empire ReLoader(my favorite) with a mech cocker; the Evo. will just add uneeded bulk and weight when a revvy (or the like) weigh much less for less the price.
I have the tank you mentioned and I like mine. It's a very sturdy tank, but heavy as well, not to mention the length. But, with a drop you shouldn't hafta worry about the weight.
Edit: Tthe 2k4 already has an adjustable LPR, so you should be fine!

good setup, but dont get a 48/3000 tank. save a little bit and get 68/4500. you won't regret it.

pballer486 · July 25th, 05:37 PM

he already has the evolurion II(i think)

**tourney_lover** · July 25th, 05:59 PM

Yes I have the Evolution already and Im just going to put it on the cocker

**PaintBallBob** · July 25th, 06:01 PM

good set up. the cocker is solid, fast, and upgradable gun.
however i would suggest either staying with a revvy or going up to a halo. the evo is overkill for a mech and not fast enough for an e-cocker. stay with the revvy and spend the money you save on a 4500 tank. then when/if you get an e-frame(eblade, worrblade, raceframe) you should also get a halo.

**tourney_lover** · July 25th, 06:13 PM

is there much of a difference in the 68 ci or the 48ci other than size? and what would you reccomend as far as getting a tank price, size, etc........

**sumsimpleracer** · July 25th, 06:21 PM

good set up but i suggest the 2k3 rather than the 2k4. becuz the 2k3 is the 2k4 except it doesnt have an adjustable LPR and its part black instead of part silver. Your going to replace the stock stuff anywayz

**tourney_lover** · July 25th, 06:37 PM

Should I get a steel tank or a carbon fiber wrapped tank? I don't want to spend to much but I wan't to get a good one. Thanks

**Stan** · July 25th, 07:00 PM

i would go with a 68/4500 carbon fober wrapped tank, you can find some real good used ones in the b/s/t forums

**pEpSi DuDe** · July 25th, 10:02 PM

thats a pretty good setup...

**sumsimpleracer** · July 25th, 10:10 PM

carbon fiber is way better than steel....maybe more expensive, but it's better....i have a steel, but i had to get nitro.

**CmaN3** · July 25th, 11:18 PM

I think that you should get the 2k3, it is basically the same as the 2k4. I have the 2k3 and it is a great marker. It is unbelievably more accurate than all my friends spyders and tippys. No matter which one you get you will love it, trust me.

egg w/ z-board is plenty for a e-cocker

if you're shooting more than 23 bps then you're bouncing

You will save some cash for ups if you get a 2k3 instead of 2k4

**playa69** · July 29th, 04:12 PM

what is nitro?

**sumsimpleracer** · July 29th, 04:25 PM

nitro is HPA or compressed air, its another type of air
