AJ,
If your budget is $700 then why are you considering the PMR which is $399 ??

The PMR, Epiphiany, Invert Mini compare at $399

at $700, you could also consider the Ego Etek.

Shockers shoot great but the are very prone to O-ring breaks and have not been reliable in my experience. If you are a casual user then Shockers are fine just keep in lubed. If you are a tournament player then all shocker owner know they need a backup or two.

Come on now allen... I have to disagree with you on this one... My expierance with shockers has been very positive. Just like any paintball marker improper maintence will give you improper performance.

Its all preference, but id glady put the performace of a shocker to that of an ego anyday.

I still love ya Allen...

nxt... although allen is correct in the fact that older shockers were extremely high maintence and unexpected problem prone, the new nxts have solved many problems of the 03 shocker. break beam eyes is by far the best thing to happen to a shocker. solves mucho problems. a better stock reg. although its an ion reg, its still better in performance than a maxflo. a few other things too. i would agree with allen on the ego though... stock 06 egos go for around 750-850 now that the 07s have been released. again its your money, personal preference, and choice.

I love you too man... Where have you been for 5 months ???

but I remember something about a certain team captain from BG Army and his shocker having problems at UXPL events.......

In all seriousness I respect that Derek likes shockers by the same token almost every new shocker I have sold has had to go back to the factory for problems, some more than once. I like how they shoot but.. yikes.. if you like spoolers get a Matrix PMR, PM7,

EGO's and we have sold lots of them not one problem....

As I said "In my expereince"...

Call me sometime lots happening....

truth. only see a total of 3 egos go down in tournaments.... i can back up allen. i counted to see how many shockers went down in 06 uxpl. counted 9 in the first half of one of the days.

i've seen more shokers go down than EGO's PM's or DM's put together. but they are good looking guns just don't know how reliable.
