i would personally save up your money for a while and upgrade the A-5 little by little. you would still have money and you would get upgrads. just buy an upgrade here and there and call it good for a  while.

Really w/ an Autococker, it doesn't matter what kind of game you play, unless its stock class

I would play w/ the A-5 for a while, get the money for the autococker, then sell the A-5 and buy ups for the cocker.

eeeh mech cockers are over rated.

Keep the a5 till you can get something like a nightkast.

man, if it was me, i'd keep the a-5 it uber mod it to look like real guns. actually that's what i'm doin right now with mine. but if the looks aren't what your into, well... don't. if you're not into that, upgrade the a-5 with a new barrel, and then save up for the cocker. barrel is important.

Man let me tell you, autococker shoot really awesome.  No sound no recoil no nothing.  But in the end I just decided to keep my A-5.  No sense in me spending $1500 on a cocker when I dont even play that often.  But cockers are nice they really are.  A pain to get right.  But once you do get it right they shoot really good.

A-5 RT$380
Double Trigger$29.95
Flatline$149.95
16in All American$75
WGP 70ci 45 CarbonFiber$200
ETC = $1026.75
Whomping newbies who have Markers that cost more than my entire setup...PRICELESS

I was asking myself the same question, upgrade my A-5 or get a new gun...  In the end, I spent my money on the R/T, double trigger, Low Pressure kit, and the HPA tank.  Played with it recently, I can't be happier.   Saved at least $1k then buying a new gun...

This doesn't count as a cocker?  http://www.shocktechusa.com/pages/mrk_ac_aftershock_eblade.h tml

http://www.pbreview.com/products/reviews/2544/

or that?

http://www.supercocker.com/markers/supercocker.htm

what about this one?

I wasn't referring to a $400 base cocker.  FYI

i was planning on getting a flatline but i only got $200 saved so far. if i get the flatline im at about $50.

and i really like speedball guns. especially autocockers. 

im planning on makin a team with some friends, practice for a while then entering (rookie)tournaments.  my friends already want to start a team so i dotn think it will be a problem.  the feild i go to is $15 for the whole day so practicing wont be very hard. they have like a practice day to thats the day before the tournaments(i dont know if all feilds have that or not).  i get $10 a week so i have about 8 months adding money i get for mowing lawns and stuff.

but the cocker that i want to get is a pretty cheap one compared to the other ones ive seen. the one i want to buy is a KAPP Relfex cocker and is $600 other ones like the nightkast are $1025. is this a ok cocker to get or should i not spend my money on it?

only go for a cocker if:

a) its wgp
b) you have the money to support it (nitro, fast hopper, etc)
