: : OK heres the problem. My local paintball stores and pro shops ( 2 of them ) cant work on shockers. I just bought mine it is a Turbo with black, blue, and silver brush stroke anodizing. I just dont know if it will be reliable enough cause noone can work on it here and my local shops call it "poop" so what should i do. I guess mine is for sale if its not reliable please help thanks

: If there's nothing currently wrong with your Shocker, keep it. If local support is a concern, you should not have got a Shocker in the first place. I've owned a Turbo for 3 years and have not had a problem I could'nt fix (replacing seals). Other than that , preventive maintenance and cleaning will keep you ok. Shockers are reliable.

: I like Shockers because:
: 1. all the things you've read about them (quiet, rare ball breakage, etc.
: 2. performance as good as top end 'cockers/RT's/Angels WITHOUT expensive air systems
: 3 It's low maintenance and high reliability (vs. 'cockers, IMO)

KEEP THE SHOCKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love my shocker.
The only problem I had was not even a problem! It just needed to be lubed. I'll admidt you have to oil them alot but its a good trade off for the speed, accuracy, and near stealth capabilities.
