VW's reliable! thats a myth, a bit like the one about modern Cockers being slow.

John, If I can run my E2 at 18bps shoot paint that breaks from below knee height at 290fps.(and its still set on Factory fast with the lpr set at what ever Planet set it at) where is the compromise?

You and Tom seem to be basing all your comments on Pre E2's.
Have either of you shot a Planet "factory "or "Nexus" E2?

Neither John, or me, were basing our comments on specials. I thought we were talking about the run of the mill gun we see on the "high street".
Not the tricked up superguns that sponsored teams use.
And yes i have fired all the ?? cockers.

Going back a few steps, in the early days, the cocker was a nightmare. A modified pump that would never give even moderate performance for a whole days play. The Automag would give you everything, day after day, week upon week, month after month. But it's seen it's day come and go.
And fair do's to Planet, they've kept this ageing marker in the forefront of paintball, with electronic add-ons and trick valves, but at the end, and i believe this is the end, they made the step past it.
No doubt there will still be people that develope it a little bit further, just as the mag has it's followers. But be honest, take a step back and a deep breath, and admit the time has come to make that change.

Man, I used to love my level 7 Promag. Wood grips with double trigger, green and gold splash ano with gas through stock and black mamba.

At the time it was the absolute mutts nutts, now ............. well wouldn't be seen dead

OK...so...what do people think, the Cocker could do, to extend it's career a little more?
What would it need to be able to do?
