Nothing. All the "new" Shockers are technically not 03's, 04's, 05's, but rather "Shocker SFT's". SFT stands for Seal Forward Technology, which is just a simple o-ring just before the beginning of the barrel. SP claims that this seals off the ball, and prevents any blowback from effecting the balls travel. Supposed "closed bolt accuracy". But it's just hype, because any open bolt gun that has a bolt that moves forward then lets air through does the exact same thing, which is every open or closed bolt gun. It's just SP's way of trying to make the customer think there's on more special feature on their gun to try and draw them into buying it.

Guess I was wrong.  For some reason I was thinking of a company that made custom old school shockers.
