hi i have played paintball for over 6 years now and i just wana spread some news to all the new players that think an autococker is a really nice gun to start off with, its not  my two cents is that if you cant time it and learn to time it properly then you will mess it up, also it is a little more advanced than any other marker and takes a little bit more maintenance, i suffered a year without knowing this and i was at my local shops for repair every other game, my best advice is get a gun like or spyder, and learn about them and how to fix/strip them and then learn about autocockers from a friend(also learn how to shoot them properly(another skill that has to be mastered)) and then make the leap into buying one, well best of luck and feel free to message me for any advice
