All the OG guys know this is the most iconic marker EVER made hands down. I love all things paintball but the autococker to me has stood the test of time like no other maker !! A work of art indeed..
As an old player from the 90s that got recommended this video, it blows my mind to see people talking about cockers again! They are truly awesome though, I still regret trading my original stock right feed 99.
My buddy and I had our first speed ball tournament. I had a luxe and my buddy had an auto cocker. He literally gained everyone’s respect for coming out with an auto cocker and we were the favorite newbie’s/under dogs. I had no idea autocockers were so beloved
Wow. I know this video is 3+ years old, but I am just finding it. Man, it takes me back! Free Flow and Pro Paintball are a piece of WNY history. They were the only shop around that would service my old Angel LCD back in 03 or so. Good times. Thanks for the nostalgia.
Was just thinking about angel markers today sad they shut down in 2011 I remember when I bought my first auto cocker it was anodized green with a halo hopper lol and the angel was just such a hot gun back then. Brings back memories I miss those days
Paintball guns were so much more fun back in the day. Everyone had mods and aftermarket parts. Autocockers were the best for tinkering but also a pain in the ass
Space guns are lighter, more reliable, more ergonomic. But no soul, like a well timed and running cocker. Nothing is more satisfying than shooting out a space gun with a mech.
I love my AC-98. Black body with all ANS red parts front block. The last time I was on the field the kids were making fun of my old school marker. I went out onto the field and tore up the other side of the field. After a few games I switched to my minimag. My first marker was a SL-II and my second was a Spyder-A.
I still love my old school Black Magic auto cocker! They are some of the most accurate guns made. Just buy an older used cocker and have it sent off to be all cleaned up and you will have one solid gun for years and you will be one of the only guys out there with it!
The DAYS worth of time I spent getting the timing of my autococker perfect. It was a Frankenstein project with no mathching brands, my front block was literally all parts harvested from other markers. I miss that gun. 😢
palmers rock front reg, rock knob, shocktech bomb 3 way, palmers stabilizer vertical reg, ANS ram, eclipse QEVs, ANS low pressure chamber, shocktech supafly bolt, wgp swing trigger, dye sticky3 grips, dye barrel, shocktech mini drop, phat/aci on off asa, steel braided lines, otp slingshot bolt, kapp beavertail, AIM cocking rod, anodized blue pump rod, shocktech rat valve, shocktech ball detent, all on a 3 digit serial number right feed mini cocker. it's not pretty anymore but yeh
I have no idea how this video showed up in my algorithm, since I haven't played or shopped for a new marker in like 20 years, but this brought me waaaaaaay back.
2000-2006 was the best era of markers imo as far as aesthetics of the whole scene. Everything looks almost the exact same thing nowadays. The problem with autocockers once timmys, DM’s and shockers started dominating the scene you had to upgrade the auto with the new eblade upgrade to get your BPS up you wanted the freak barrels as well usually and they had to be tuned and well maintained. But the electronic markers were tournament ready right out of the box and were looking better and better every year. Speed and number of rounds down ranged started to matter significantly more than accuracy and eventually the accuracy came with it. The most you had to do to one was maybe replace the board, maybe a different barrel. As long as we aren’t talking about making it fancy and aesthetically pleasing.
Great review Brad. That’s a very nice clutch. Your friend picked a good color combo. FreeFlow does some great work. They’re currently restoring my original millennium FreeFlow. Can’t wait to shoot it.
Lack of patent probably has something to do with Glen Palmer actually inventing the auto cocking mechanism -- Bud Orr just made a mass produced version from his Sniper design.
I think the appeal of autocockers was the visuals of mechanisms moving in operation. The newer guns you pull the trigger and a paintball comes out, no other visuals are happening. With the autococker you get to watch the back block move in and out.
I didn't know that the autococker wasn't patented. Fun fact. Not patenting it worked out really well for creating an autococker culture. Its a great throwback to the days of building guns from aftermarket parts and every gun reflecting the personal preferences of the player. Though I prefer my automag, I gotta respect that autococker players for showing their character and the love for the sport.
I haven't played in over 15 years, but this video gave me a PTSD episode over the old Dye parts I had on my '02 WGP autococker. What a blast from the problematic past. Lol.
I use to be on to paintball from 12-18 years old. Even though Spyders were on the cheap end, I had the fully electronic Spyder EM1 with an 18" (I think) Stone Cold II barrel and an Apolocolypse carbon wrapped nitro tank. The size 88 is sticking out in my head for some reason. The tank was a tad on the larger side. It's the first gun controlled by a circuit board on the grips with dipswitches that allowed you to change from semi-auto, 3-shot burst and full-auto and then adjust how many bps for 3-shot & auto up to 20 balls per second. It wasn't perfect, bit she surprised the hell out of people at the field. The gun was finished in this blue chrome like finish. Trigger had much to be desired. IIRC, it had quite a bit of side wobble. It was adjustable, so you could make it so sensitive, just tapping the trigger made it shoot. Sheesh. That was over 20 years ago. At like 16yo, I was visiting my cousin in Allen, TX and there was a college team out there from Houston. After they watched me, their coach wanted me on the team. I didn't live in the state at the time. I was the fastest on the field anywhere I went. Said they saw a skinny kid in a t-shirt and shorts flying up the middle, at the start, getting to the 50 yard line from the gun. No one had gotten that far from the dig. I honestly thought paintball died in place of airsoft. So, do people really still play pb? Are there any pro teams like there use to be in the late '90's & early 2k's?
Love this vid! As an avid Nikon FM-10 35mm guy...autocockers are like an FM-10 vs a D4. There's a certain "magic" missing. And hell yeah, FreeFlow are one hell of a company! My current cocker is a 2k3 with a ShockTech Bomb 2.0 3way!
I was a die hard autococker player and remember when the E-Blade came out it transformed it into a beast keeping up with the rest of the electric guns.
@@ZeroD86 cockers in particular do need cleaned and greased fairly regularly, but I bet if you do that and maybe put new orings in the 3way and ram it'll run like a top again.
Back in the day I had the original sniper 1 and sniper 2 pump autococker. They were so rad! The autococker was always my favorite marker next to the Angel.
I got an 04 WGP Prostock. Eclipse hinge trigger frame. CP and Inception upgrades. Old school AKA bolt, Palmers Pneumatics. Its a one of a kind ripper. 🤘 Love Cockers
Wuz up paintball brotha👈😎👉?. Comin at you from the 209, Extreme Paintball field is my home field. I myself is still using the ANS CHAOS GEN-3 AUTOCOCKER and my modified 68 Automag. One of my kids also got me a early B-day(this wknd 49yrs old) present, a brand new Tippmann TMC👈😎👉😀. ✌out from the 209👈😎👉
Tbh, I always had great reliability with cockers once I learned to time them. I think a lot of the bad rep for reliability came from flashy but low quality parts. Hearing you talk about the dye three way issues brings that back...
I dont blame you for the rant. At wc 2001 when the Dye Angels and reflexs came out the Angel was awesome and the reflex felt like a pretty sto, no where near the caliber of anodizing, function, and milling of the Freflows or SFLs.
Glad I was part of the very early WGP autococker days! They didn’t have a ball detent milled on the body. You had to send it off or have a pro shop install one.
Dye machining in house gives them one of the biggest advantages in the industry imo... you can get a great looking gun with the best precision machining in house. I think it's a great chance for Dye to show off why that is.
Still with Shocktech for the win on boutique Autococker's/ Cocker parts. They machine their own pneumatics, bodies, trigger frames etc. and they have long been at the top of the heap (along with Belsales, and ID) for Cockers, and Cocker parts. If you cant afford a Shocktech, Inception Designs, or Belsales....buy a Palmers or WGP marker. Of course, everyone has their own opinion
I played paintball in the time Automags and real WORR Game made them. I had a ANS GEN X 1 Autocoker and it ripped. I don't care what people said back then but ANS Autocokers were highly underrated. I had a 68 Automag classic also and I loved the fact I knew my gun most likely not tear up. Automags were the most rugged guns and cost efficient and had good accuracy. I liked my Autococker better for wood ball or speedball if you are shooting from the back of the team. Real Autocockers were the most accurate and long range paintball gun back in the day. You have to constantly tune and Autococker and are difficult to work on them.
Pro tip: if you don’t want to lose your barrel sock use cow hitch knot on the part around the trigger and you should never lose it unless you untie it so just let your sock hang
Dont know about the little stuff dye made, but Dye Hyper 3 or those newer regs are very good, and are very consistent but expensive if in good condition
Cockers are the most accurate guns made. Store owners loved cockers back in the day, it was a constant money maker. Upgrade parts cost more than the gun itself
If I didn't already have a Palmer Blazer, I would probably have an Autococker with Palmer pneumatics. I have tried basically all of them, and the only pneumatics I could notice as being smoother than the Palmer stuff was from Belsales and I am not about to import that stuff from the UK or spend the high prices of the used market for them.
I have a lighting deluxe Psychoballistic that i have been messing with on and off for over the past 20yrs. I keep pooping the hoses on the three way and i thing thr front block and inline reg might need to be rebuilt. After watching this series i might just have to knock the dust off and see if i can get it going for thencoming up season. I also had might still have a dark angel. My main marker is the angel gat. Also the angel speed 5 then last but not least a nasty shocker that need some boards for
I still have my autococker from the late 90's :D I would share photos if anyone is interested. I haven't used it in 20 years and plan on restoring it for the nostalgia and memories of it all. Im thinking I may just need to replace all the orings and grease, she should work like a champ again.
Considering the resources available to them, you'd expect Dye to produce the highest quality precision parts. Just look at the other things made by that company, the many things they produced that are not related to paintball at all
bought an empire resurrection and sniper. couldnt get them to work for me. i would get rollouts, low fps shots, shots that would go 5ft, crushed balls in the breach. my resurrection prolly shot good for like 10-20 shots before i got broken balls in the breach. sold both and got me a dsr+ and mech frame. wont be touching anything closed bolt in the near future
Sort of question Brad. I have been debating between a Gmek and M170. In way to many words can you describe the difference between the feel of a slide vs hinge trigger?
Still kick myself for ever selling my “clown” anno’d red white and blue splash revolution. It was perfect with the belsales slider frame. Could run a JT rev and not outrun it.
So from what I understand Freeflow is polishing the 3-way internally before they ship them. That might be why the Freeflow worked better than what Docfire experienced.
Buddy from FreeFlow posted a video on Facebook about this. He polishes the three ways, just as he did before way back when FreeFlow was started. Dye did drop the ball on this, but hopefully they are looking to fix in the future
@@TampaTom Yeahhh had is few dye ltrs and rotors back awhile ago with my lv1.5, I did NOT have fun with it🤣 just decided with a good ol spire, since spires are like the Tipp 98’s of hoppers
You should talk to Cesare Pizzo from P & P , He still making the Super Cocker 2020 Manual Marker and it shoots so fast and it's beautiful. He has many videos on youtube. He might even send you one! lol
Loved the Autocockers. Automags, Angels, Boblong......ohhhh the days

If you choose aesthetic anodizing, you get the added perks of them losing or not finishing your gun.
Followed by gaslighting/manipulating you in an effort to try to make you feel like you're the bad one for being (rightfully) upset about it.

autococker market is a lot bigger than you think. At least in the Midwest it's pretty big.
I can't deny that the new stuff is faster but, i've had a geo 4 and lv 1.6 go down on me but my 15 year old auto cocker has yet to fully die on me.
There's a reason why pretty much all paintball guns have cocker threads for barrels.
So from what I understand Freeflow is polishing the 3-way internally before they ship them. That might be why the Freeflow worked better than what Docfire experienced.
It's possible. I assume if you can choose the anno freeflow is buying the parts without anno. So it would be an easy thing to do.
Buddy from FreeFlow posted a video on Facebook about this. He polishes the three ways, just as he did before way back when FreeFlow was started. Dye did drop the ball on this, but hopefully they are looking to fix in the future
i think with all the new electric guns shooting 30fps, its refreshing to have something more mechanical like an autococker
My dad has a original autococker and he wants to convert it into a pump honestly I don’t blame him lol.
I have a late 90s Autococker - Probably worth a lot of money or not.
Still have a spanky cobra... Things beautiful
Hey brad I’m looking to buy a new gun I want an Etha 2 but I was wondering if you had any other suggestions used or new. I love the vids btw
Etha 2 is the way to go 100%, and if you’re looking for a hopper ALWAYS use a spire 3, then other spires are uselessly overpriced
@@TampaTom Yeahhh had is few dye ltrs and rotors back awhile ago with my lv1.5, I did NOT have fun with it🤣 just decided with a good ol spire, since spires are like the Tipp 98’s of hoppers
Love the ano and cuts on the body…. But, that beaver tail looks like the cheap wire spoon you use to dye Easter eggs
Cant find one to purchase anywhere
Like mechanical mods and rebuildable atomizers vs disposables/dad vapes in the vape world or quartz terp slurpers/bangers vs a cart/stock puffco.
That is a beautiful gun. I don't think I'd have the patience to maintain something like that, but it looks like a blast to use.
I miss u brad :)
You should talk to Cesare Pizzo from P & P , He still making the Super Cocker 2020 Manual Marker and it shoots so fast and it's beautiful. He has many videos on youtube. He might even send you one! lol
