Hi, The stock bolt on your cocker (I'm assuming its 2K+) is one of the best out there. You paid for it, why not use it? As far as low pressure goes, the myth is that "the lower the pressure = the higher the efficiency". In fact a cocker operating at very low pressure can be very inefficient when it comes to air usage (shots per fill). Efficiency is what you should be striving for. There are a few sites out there with helpful info as far as properly timing your marker for maximum efficiency. My fav is: http://www.paintballravi.com/Articles/AutocockerInfosheet/ACTroub.html What low pressure does is makes your gun quieter and will possibly allow you to lower the pneumatic pressure. Some claim low enough cocking pressure that their gun won't chop half fed paintballs but just pinch them without breaking them. (Not sure this has been actually demonstrated, but it sure sounds good)
