This is one of the most accurate type of markers i have fired. The range is impressive. The air efficiency is excellent! There are many ups available from www.planeteclipse.com and many other stores. Autocockers will keep up with most of the top end markers including the ego, shocker, dm5/6 etc I have used an autococker several times at walkons and in tournaments. They are reliable and easy to maintain if you know what you are doing but they can be a pain if you are new to them and have never used one. There are many cocker techs around in england and www.planeteclipse.com will service your marker for a fee of £20, this includes striping down marker, fully lubing up orings, replacing old orings, adjusting air effieciency and many other adjustments.
There are not very many cons apart from being less reliable than an ego which i feel is the best marker out there at the moment. There is nothing more you could want from a marker. The autococker is renowned for being the most accurate and sure hope you buy one.
Cockers work in the following manner:
The air supply into the gun after the Inline regulator (vertical one around 325psi), is split between the firing mechanism, and the cocking mechanism, and lives
in a chamber at the front of the gun, behind the Front block where all the sticky out bits are, and continues a short way into the gun above the regulator mount.
When you gas the gun up, you should always cock the gun first, by pulling back on the cocking rod, that stick out of the back, under the bolt.
So...you gas your gun up.
At rest, the bolt remains forward and for this reason, is called closed bolt, as it remains forward when the gun fires the ball.
As soon as you pull the trigger, the electronics take over firstly, the software decides if the trigger pull is a valid one (has it been pulled long enough) this is determined by the TPUL setting...once it decides that it is valid, the SEAR SOLENOID, is activated, for a set amount of time (SEAR ON or SON), and pushes a plunger upwards, to make the sear release the hammer.
The hammer, is connected to the cocking rod and is under spring tension.
Once the SON time (around 4m/s) has elapsed...the sear solenoid disengages and teh COCKING DELAY or CDEL time countdown starts...what this does, is allows time for the hammer, to go forward, strike teh valve, which allows gas to pass through teh valve, from teh air chamber described earlier, up through the bolt, out teh end, pushing teh ball out of teh barrel.
Once the CDEL time has elapsed (around 3-6 m/s depending on if you have QEV's and other related variables) The COCKING SOLENOID ON TIME or CON, starts to countdown and the cocking solenoid at the front of the gun, is activated.
What this does, is diverts air from the LPR or Low Pressure Regulator at the front of the gun, from the back of the ram (bit at front with pump rod screwed on) to the front of the ram, which forces the ram, to open push the pump arm back.
The Pump arm, is connected to the back block, which has the bolt connected to it, via the bolt pin....so pushing this back, allows the breech to be open, and another ball to drop in...the action of the back block going back, also collects the cocking rod, pulling this back against the force of the main spring, to the point where the sear catches it again, ready for the next shot.
The CON (typically 30-40m/s on a fast gun) time. Allows time for the following things to happen:
Breech to open, by ram pushing back AGAINST spring pressure and excess ram pressure if no QEV fitted.
Time for loader to load a ball into teh breech (around 20m/s for a HaloB I think)
Once this time has elapsed, the Cocking solenoid is de-activated, and the COFF (around 18-25m/s for example) or Cocking Off Time starts to count down.
This allows time for the air from the LPR to be redirected back to the back of the ram, which forces the ram to pull the pump rod back again, closing the breech. This may be against excess gas in the ram, if a QEV is not fitted and extra time should be allowed if that is the case.
Once all this has happened the gun is cocked, loaded and ready to fire again.
That is assuming, that other factors EMPD (how long the breech is empty for) BALD (how long a ball is detected for) and if the eye actually sees a ball or not (if fitted), are satisfied.
LPR- Low Pressure Regulator at front of gun, drops input pressure from 325 psi to sub 100 psi, to control cocking mechanism.
QEV-Quick Exhaust Valve This is lives on either end of the ram, and vents excess pressure away from the ram, so that opening and closing cycles can be achieved with less cocking pressure, and not against trapped gas, compressing it and forcing it back towards the cocking solenoid, makes things faster and allows for lower LPR pressure which reduces ball breakages, kick and subsequently, trigger bounce.
That assumes that the cocker is electronic, and mainly an E1 or E2...not including all trigger filters etc, but as an idea.
If it is mech...then everything is the same, but the cocking solenoid, is actually a 3/4 way valve. Which is connected to the trigger. As you pull the trigger, first the sear is tripped and the gun fires, then the valve switches or to the front of the ram to open the bolt, then to the back of the ram to close the bolt, as you release the trigger.
