Henchman- We have palmer's semi auto...  now we can find out the secrets that make it work

Bud Orr- but we already found out how too...  we've known for a long time... we even marketed it...

Henchman-  Well, it's too late to take it back...  plus that would be an awkward moment...

Bud- ok, hang on, let me call up Smartparts....

you missed it. its the reason i want one right here. "sniper" is a pump autococker. wich contradicts itself, i know, but its the easiest way to explain it. a sniper came out before the autococker and bud orr (or glen palmer, which ever, orr just marketed it first) figured out a way to replace the pump with a pneumatic cocking system to make it automatically recock. hence the autococker. i just want to revert back to the roots.

oh, that's true...  but you could go fancy and put the feed on backwards...  i think i've seen some illustrators like that before...  might still look weird though...

np.  glad to help people get into stock class..  and you better post pics when you get everything set up...

also, you mentioned halfblocking...  i think that would be kickass...  probably make it lighter to pump too...

yeah, rms are pretty beefy...  but i would deffinately try the stabilizer idea..  if it doesn't work, you can always put it on another marker...  30 shots from a 12g seems pretty plausible..  my phantom gets around 45-50 depending on the temperature..  i would carry an extra 12 gram with you just in case though...  sometimes the charger can come unscrewed and waste some co2...  and even if you do run out of paint, you can always try to barrel tag...  i don't recommend that while playing against some speedball people though...

yeah, i don't know as much about snipers as i do cockers, but i'm sure there are ways to increase efficiancy....  maybe lighten the hammer somehow....    the volumizer is a good idea...  maybe you could get a palmers stabilizer and run some 12 grams hawaiian style... that might give the c02 more of a chance to expand...  but that would add weight..

anyway, i heard snipers werent as efficient as a phantom, and i need to squeeze as many shots out of a 12g as possible. anyone know how to make a sniper more efficient?

yes, i do actually.  Lt Valves from PPS give you an incredible amount of shots...  i'd imagine you'd get more from a sniper than a cocker..  so i'd estimate a case of paint with a 68/4500...  i just hope it would work with a sniper, but i don't see why it wouldn't... 

now are you going to go constant air, or 12 grams...  and it you are going to run 12 grams, i'd recommend picking up a 3.5 oz tank as well..  they pay for themselves..  and you never have to get them hydroed...
