Im thinking about buying a 2003 shocker (non-vision). Does it take a pre-set tank? and is it better to use a HP or LP tank with it? How do you cock it? And how easy is it to strip down, replace o-rings, oil, etc compared to a spyder?

you can use either tank... you dont cock it, as soon as its gased up its ready to shoot... stripping down will require 1 allen wrench, thats about it. replacing oring is very simple, oil... only use dow33 lube

TOTALLY different from a spyder, you might want to read some threads and stickies on shockers and learn about them

Yes.. The spyder is what is called a Blow back design which uses high pressure gasses to re-cock the gun, and uses a Hammer and sear to hit the valve and all kinds of complicated crap i don't feel like typing

The Shocker uses a Spool valve design which is basicly 3-4 tubes and chambers inside the shocker body, And it uses an electronic solinoid to make the air go into the seperate passages to shoot the gun. and the shocker does not require any types of cocking

you do not use oil on ne pumatic gun (where it uses a noid instead of a sear) instead you use greese. the greese you are supposed to use is Dow 33 which you can order online at many online stores like www.xpaintball.com


Chaning o-rings on a shocker is as easy as a spyder, but there are many different types of o-rings. You can buy pre-made kits at www.smartparts.com w/ all the o-rings nessisary.

Lubing up the gun is very simple. It requires only a few allen keys to remove the parts. And there are no springs inside the shocker. Not even to return the trigger (it uses magnets to make the trigger move back to the start point)

For more info on the shocker please visit *READ*Ultimate Impulse/Shocker/Nerve/Ion FAQ Sticky*READ* and read the many websites on shockers and basic matinance.

You actually need an allen wrench (3/16 i believe) and! a wooden dow(or wooden spoon)
But really, its quite simple. If its leaking, re-lube orings or replace damaged orings. As long as you dont **** with the solenoid it will be ok, along with every other part of the gun.

I use a squeegie, i'm too cool for wooden dows... And whenever i have one, i end up breaking it in "sword" fights w/ my friends at the shop when we are bored.
