Both are great. The question you have to ask your self is what kind of experience are you looking for in a paintgun.

Cockers are aguably the most customizable marker on the planet. They also can be a bit finicky. I liken them to the Milenium Falcon: yes it is an awesome machine. Yes it has the possibility for many personal upgrades. It can also be a bit finicky. But you also get to play Han Solo/Chewbacca and fix it. You know how and when and where to smack it when it makes such and such a sound. It is YOURS and yours alone.

Impy: Don't need to worry about it as much. Setting your sear lug and 3 way timing, changing your spring combinations, screwing down your cocking rod, are all things that you will never have to worry about with this paintgun. But it can also be sort of a "no brainer" to own it. It will shoot, and you will be happy.

Ask yourself am I a tinkerer? Am I mechanicly inclined? Do I like to fiddle? Or am I happy when things just work, and I don't have to worry about it.

I'm sure each has other pros and cons but this always just seemed to be one of the most imporant distinctions that people miss out on when asking "which is better".

: What would you recommend?Why?
: I usually play as a front man but i want to play some woodball too.
