Maybe the NPOV tag isn't totally correct, but the article does have slant. It seems like the last editor added some comments lifted directly from Smart Parts' site.. zer0render 15:47, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Open/closed bolt
I know that old model shockers were closed bolt (remember that SP specifically wanted to market a closed bolt electro), but what the hell is this "seal forward technology"? Can someone provide a link to a shocker manual or diagram or something? Kobold 07:25, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Seal Forward Technology is a system in which the breach of the paintball gun is seal just before the paintball is actually fired. This is one way the gun gets the most amount of shots per air fill, but primairly is for the closed bolt feel it helps give the marker. The shocker not being famous for how much air it uses, every little bit helps.
[edit] change to the article
The majority of the previous article was taken straight from the smart parts website. I have changed it so that it is a unbiased article.
Shockers have always been difficult to maintain. There is no commonly available marker in paintball that requires more effort to keep at a high level of performance. One must lubricate the internals nearly every day the markers is used. This article is very nearly an advertisement for the Shocker, and it most assuredly not unbiased.

[edit] Notability tag
I'm removing the notability tag. The Shocker is one of the most important and well-known paintball guns in the ten-million-player sport of paintball. - Maximilli, 19:10, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
