I finally have gotten around to getting pictures of my newest creation. After many hours in the shop and help from my father we've finally have constructed the first (that I know of) Mil-Sim Shocker! Overall Picture Front Shroud
As you can notice, there is a guage sticking out the bottom. Within the shroud is the older style horizontal Max Flo that I rigged up under the barrel. The shroud originally was a 2" x 3" chunk of oak, now it has been hollowed out and shapped, then stained. The clip was made from a piece of 1" x 1.25" Polyethylane (AKA Black Plastic), hollowed somewhat and notched to silouette with the trigger frame and solenoid tray. Nothing flashy, just for looks. However, if I do get enough feedback from friends and other players, I might decide to make a Drum clip from some 5" PVC and some Lexan.
The stock. It holds pretty nicely and isn't that heavy compared to using a 20oz co2 tank. It's comprised of three pieces of oak that have been laminated together, woodworked, and stained. I am seriously thinking about rigging a Q-Loader onto it instead of the Evolution, however with the lack of funds that will have to wait for a bit. The Shocker itself is a 2002 Shocker Sport 4x4 with a Delrin Bolt, Full Body Filter, 14" Freak with All American Front, with a .689 Insert. I've done many modifications and customizing to the stock double trigger. It has a feather light pull, 1mm total pull length and a .5mm marker activation (when the marker actually fires) pull length. This is thanks to the super light spring, modified microswitch, and a trigger length stop I made. Let the judging commence! |

Looks good, although I think the drum mag would make it look better. To me at least, the front shroud just looks like aplain old block of wood. The mag coming from it would look real nice, IMO. I like the idea of turning a speedball-related gun into a mil-sim, very original. I like the looks, excellent job! ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.)

| It looks horrible why would you do that to a shocker, i hope you don't play speedball or you will look like a fool. |

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback. The front shroud throws off the look but it had to be that big to cover the regulator. The marker gets lots of looks and ahhs at the field, people just love it. Zombieman, the Shocker is ideal for Woodsball. It's quiet, accurate, fast, and reliable. It's also great for scenario games. What more can you ask for? Asky26, I have played speedball with it. It's very comfy to hold and snap shoot with. The weight doesn't bother me since it's just 15lbs and the fact that I'm experienced in all aspects of paintball, I hold my own on the field. |

i guess creativity is null and void. sheesh. i think it's awesome. i want to get an Angel, and make it into a SAW or something, just to tick speedballers and 12 yr olds with $1000 guns off. that would be great. but you beat me to it. i was gonna make a high end milsim, but i can still do it. nice work. that stock looks great. i can only comment because i make milsim. those who poo poo it, they just don't how understand creating things can be more fun than buying and playing combined. keep it up. john. ------------- ProLite M-16 18 AA Ak47 A5 Egrip flatline M-1 Garande Automag 18 AA 98C RT Thompson w/ Drum mag A5 MP5, Egrip, Armson Phantom,Stock, 12gr 98C RT HK33 Flatline UTTER DESTRUCTION OF QUIXTAR! |

The wooden stock looks good but the wood grip is just a square block. The M1A1 Tompson submachine gun used in WWII had a much more long and rectangular wooden front grip.

Hey great craftmanship I like it is speical in the sense that there problemly not to many shocker that go mil-sim.
I know others have point this out that you need to extended the front shout about to 2-3inch and cut the front foregrip into the front the shout. Also you should router the edges of the front shout or round the edges. just putting in my two cents. Rated 8.5/10 PLay safe and have fun.  ------------- Dragoonwolf "It is a Good day to Paintball" |

I guess there are only a chosen few who can understand the discipline an patience it takes to tackle a project like this. Half the battle is in your head when you try to design something like this. To even come close to realizing your vision at the end means you have won. I give it a respectable 10/10 for the engineering prowess involved; and any player who has an ounce of respect for creativity in this sport, should give this guy the praise he deserves. Sorry, I just hate to see good work get so dissed.  ------------- "Is this going to be a stand up fight or another bug hunt?" |
