hey, just for kicks ive been researching what kind of gun i would get
if i were to get a higher performance one for possible speedball with
some woodsball usage. generally i like both the 04 vert cocker and ICD BKO's based on their price to performance ratios. i like the idea of a mechanical marker a bit more than electro, but electro = good for walking and in turn high bps. but the BKO can be had for a cheaper price. anyway, my question to you is based on gun accuracy from stock equipment. i hear that cockers are insanely accurate and lay balls on top of each other. i also hear that BKO's are accurate, but i havent heard anything about to what extent. i would like accuracy for the purpose that the gun would be both effective in spraying paint, and "sniping" paint (1 shot 1 kill type performance) thanks in advance!  ------------- http://www.tippmann.com/players/forum/wwf77a/forum_posts.asp?TID=114970&PN=8">

| Dude, you can get a 2003 vertical 'cocker for $220. And, you can run it off CO2, which you can't do to a Bushmaster of any type for any period of time. The 'cocker is only slightly more accurate than the BKO, but you tend to be able to get them at a much cheaper price, and, the're MUCH more upgradeable, being without a doubt the most upgradeable guns on the market. |

oh, also, ontop of the budget, an HPA tank would be a neccessity IMO,
so i was "shooting" for sub-$500 for the whole package, and i would
probably get a crossfire 68/4500 for about 170, so that drops the gun's
budget to $330 which is a reason i was looking at a bko, cuz you can
get them new for under 300, and i would want an 04 'cocker because i
hear they did spiffyness from the 03 to the 04 model. i also plan on
running pretty much stock, except for the barrel, i would probably do
an eventual upgrade to a Dye Ultralight. and as for hopper, im not sure
what i would do. i would most likely consider either an Apache (i like
my AK) or an egg. ------------- http://www.tippmann.com/players/forum/wwf77a/forum_posts.asp?TID=114970&PN=8">

Cocker is the way to go IMO. Very accurate, I've never seen a BKO shoot in person though. If your not planning on upgrading to much a revvy would work fine for a hopper. -------------

Accuracy depends on your barrel, your paint to barrel match, and your guns air consistency. No gun will outshoot another as far as accuracy based solely on what the gun is. Trust me, I own a cocker, which is known for its "accuracy," but that has nothing to do with it. Get a good reg, a good barrel kit, and you will be as accurate as any other gun out there. Period. -------------
