756,465,857,853,207,465 days is my best guess... It is one of the few high end markers that has copycats for every body piece and style. Factory made by numerous different companies. Aftermarket parts galore and new ones comming out all the time. I'll guarantee those people running those companies would be looking for other ways to make a living is the "market" for autocockers was drying up. Instead everyone is comming out with the 'best upgrade' money can buy for the autococker. They want a piece of that growing market. It is FUN to tinker with. Tweak. Personalize. Customize. Part of the popularity. The people that just think money can buy the "most advanced paintball marker in the world" and somehow by magic believe they can play the Nationals this fall are mistaken. The tweakers get cockers. People ask me what kind of gun is that? Because my sniper set up looks very NOT cocker. Yeah the tournament players have their fans for the cocker but us old farts like its accuracy, and quiet operation for sniping and scenerio games. Let's say it is very versatile. Go look at some of the brand names listed on the Warpig Medium and Low end markers. Names and brands new and unfamiliar to many. The Autococker IS an old marker, and EARNED it reputation by performing on the field. If it didn't perform, it would have died a just death a long time ago. Need I list the ones that have come and gone....? There is a reason they show up at national tournaments that aren't sponsored by the marker manufacturer... So they can win. Christ! it is all mechanical. You can play in the rain with it! I'm going Saturday. Supposed to have inches of snow! Who cares! The electro markers will stay home. Wussies!
