Re: autococker for 300? good deal?

Autocockers are regarded by some as the best paintball marker in the world.
Me being one of those people.

They are designed for durability, yes.  They are well made, by one of the
older companies in the industry.

They are also one of the most customizable markers out there.  Yours will
work fine out of the box, but the more you use it, the more you will become
accustomed to what you want out of it, which you can then improve through
specific upgrades.

For example, if you find you shoot a lot of paint very quickly, you might
want to upgrade the primary regulator to give you better shot-to-shot
consistency, which will mean that a very rapid succession of balls will tend
to hit more or less the same place, as they are being propelled by more or
less the same amount of air since the upgraded reg recharges more quickly
and consistently my that was a long run-on sentence.

 I don't know what barrels the new ones come with, so that might be an
upgrade to consider.  Or a waste of money.  I have no idea.  I have a Smart
Parts All American on mine, and it is simply stellar.

I am by far not the most experienced cocker guy on this forum.  I have one
and I love it.   Given the funds, I would buy another one in a heartbeat.

What have I forgotten?  Jose?  Habeeb?  Jeff?  Ed?  Auntie Em?
