I got to use the SS a couple of weeks ago and have some thing's to share.

I played at Hell Survivor's where the Tippmann World Challenge is played and it's Field Paint Only. I consider the paint to be marginal/sub-marginal at it's best point. I could get any ball out of the bag and get it to fit any control bore I have by rotating the ball and inserting it into the control bore. The paint is very out of round.

I started out with my largest control bore for my JJ Edge kit of .691 and Python Paintball was nice enough to give me a .692 control bore and that wasn't big enough really. So a problem developed w/ having the first control bore of .692 on Python kit then .691 bore on Edge barrel. Balls were barrel breaking on the back-side of the .691 JJ control bore. I had several breaks in the barrel so I had to scrap any distance/accuracy tests. The breaks had nothing to do with the Cocker itself and I never had to clean the gun due to these breaks.

I never had another issue once I switched to .692 Python to BT Apex which has a huge bore. Accuracy was identical running Python/Apex compared to JJ Edge w/ Apex tip mounted. I was slightly surprised but not really. I have high expectations of the Python and it's meeting them.

The SS shoot's very nice and is super quiet. Pretty much all I can here is the sounds of springs and the hopper. Very strange to me. It shot flawless right out of the box. I was actually tentative to use the Cocker so I never really checked out the ROF. It's just a smooth shooting, pull it out of the box and go gun for me. No fiddling, no adjusting. Even FPS was set correctly.

This thing eats batteries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like 4/6 during one day of play. It even chow's batteries when turned off. Trigger pull is nice and had a quality feel to it but the trigger guard is silly. Too small.

I'll stay away from ranting on the gun given it's original retail price and will stick with being happy that I got a kick-ass cocker for $160.00.

I'll refrain from any consumer feedback comments that would be useful for WGP because the chance of it doing any good is zero.

Glad you liked it well enough! I'm looking at picking one up as my back-up marker. As far as the batteries go, the Worr-Blade/SF-Frame is based off of the first generation E-Blade which continued to eat battery-life after the system was turned off. The reason? No on-board battery back-up which keeps the small amount of memory in check when it doesn't have an external power supply. It's something that would have cost $0.30/board to fix, but was foregone for some reason. Trust me, I feel the pain my man. My DMLCD eats a battery about 2x a day when I play at the local field. I have an optical eye in the sucker rather than a micro-switch and boy-oh-boy does it gobble some power.

Anywho, almost anything that you may have an issue with is easily fixed by either tweaking settings on the marker itself, or slapping a better-quality part on it. But as you said, for the price, they really can't be beat.
