Basically, there are 2 types of people that I see that want to get into the sport with their own gun- people that want to buy something low-end like a spyder or tippmann and people who want to go straight to high-end- like yourself. To the other people, I would say just use the rentals until you want to take your game to the next level- you can spend $300 on a spyder and mask and HPA and hopper barrel but in the end the rental gun is the same and you get it (where I live anyway) for from one place $10 w/ all day air and the other place $15 w/ all day air and 100 balls. Its just more economical to go with rentals for those people. For you I would say take the time to get a little more into the sport- just by looking at the guns that you listed I can tell that you are very new and know very little about paintball/ paintball guns. Basically, don't buy any of these guns- the shocktech and PBOL are overpriced and the GX3 is OK but there are better bang/buck. First of all you seem very fixated on cockers- why? Tell me this and then we can go on and get more into detail on what gun you should or shoud not get.
