hmm, better would be -how do you play?
are you spray-and-pray?
or are you pick-'em-off with first shot?

shot both guns, i want to say that a properly done up cocker has slight advantage in accuracy.
why? i don't know.
maybe backblock moving on cocker makes for a more stable shooting platform... i really don't know.

i have a shocker, arguably more accurate than an impy, -certainly a little more accurate than cocker.

cocker is really accurate, impies seem top-heavy to me, and they have major kickback when they fire.
both characteristics combine to make alot of barrel rise/gun movement when firing the impy.
although delrin bolt may help this alot.

also, you have to get vision eye or they chop terribly('cause they're fast), so now you have lots of other considerations.... ball color/battery strength/keeping breech clean along with normal considerations of any electro.

last but not least, with electro's, certainly seems to me, that when they do break -they're done till you ship 'em out to be fixed.
where as a cocker should be fixable that day.
(especially if your a "good" tinkerer, I.E. -if it ain't broke-don't fix it)
rec-ball -this doesn't matter, but tournies are THAT day -not 2 weeks from that day.

and -sorry djacob, but if someone tells you all guns have the same accuracy.....they're wrong.

: The impulse meets or beats the cocker in EVERY performance category. A cocker can't be made to shoot as fast as a stock impulse, and basically the ONLY difference between all marker is how fast they shoot. Everything else is subjective.

: Personally I love mechanical things and don't trust things with computer chips in them, so I'd buy a cocker. But I can't tell you that the Impulse isn't a better marker for the $$.
