Rocket Cock

It really just creates a pull ring to cock the gun.

Its good for reducing the amount of open area around the cocking handle so less dirt and debri can get in, as well as getting rid of any external moving parts.

As far as differences between the two, I have no idea. Probably just minor design changes. Overall, unless you want a smaller opening and no moving parts I would not get it.

Also, a thread like this should be in the Upgrading and Customization section of the forum.

^^^ I have to disagree.  When they first came out they were handy for me because I had trouble remembering to keep my thumb away from the moving cocking handle on the 98.  I still keep one on my loaner 98 specifically for newer/younger players who may use it.

I found it more useful to be able to slap the handle back by sweeeping down the side of the gun. I also did not like the way that the rocketcock did not stay locked forward when not in use. The second series of Rocket Cocks had a latch to hold them forward.  However, in preference to the latch, I just used a black "tactical" rubber band* which also allowed one to do the release and snap to position thing with the Rocket Cock. I do see your point and maybe I did not have the same issue with thumb slapping because my thumb is always on the other side. Are you sure that was your thumb?

*They were called "ranger bands" and were quite useful.  Unfortunately, they have become harder to find and I am down to my last one.

I still use mine. Its pretty useful for keeping crap out of it.
