Honestly I don't care what was in your first post.

In my own experience I've seen way to many shockers go down at my local field. I've talked with field owners that used a shocker he had to learn the thing inside an out to get it to work. Many people at my local field sold there shockers and when Free style. For that kind of price it should have way better efficicency, I belive the Free Style now comes with the HE bolt kit (The shocker does not) so it will have better efficiency, it's tiny,super easy to rip one.

One real downside is that you get a lot of people on the anti-SP bandwagon who will dis your gun simply because it's made by SP. They'll say "shockers suck", when they have no real knowledge. Ask them why, and they'll tell you, "they suck, they always break", which is just not true. That's the only thing you have to get used to, annoying people.


I quote myself....The Man is a perfect example. Search some of his posts, every time there's a Shocker thread he goes in and bashes it. Truth is, they really aren't that bad of guns. I played with mine last night in about 30 degress, and without vision on, and didn't chop a ball or have any problems. Just keep em lubed, and they're gonna run fine. Some people just can't quite grasp that concept.

OK I'm not bashing just telling him my experience with them ounce you learn how they work and stuff they work really well most people don't have the time or patience to do that. For that price I would not get a shocker the free style is just as good and comes with the HE bolt stock unlike the shocker, free ASA, IMO the free style is just a better marker for that price range.

IDK about everyone else around here but before I drop a G+ into a gun I wanna at least hold it, I mean a lot of it is just player preference some people use dm4s for back up just because their primary marker feels better to them.  So if you can get a real good proshop somewhere around and hold them to see which one feels better.

NOTE: The freestyle will not feel good because of the small reg but that can be switched out.
