Most efficient mechanical marker?

idkfa · 07-22-2008, 01:10 PM

I have heard lots of talk regarding the most efficient electronic markers (Borgs FTW is the word on the street

), but I am curious what mechanical (non pump) markers really excel in efficiency?

Just musing, thoughts for a future project.

Anyone?

I'm not sure if it will ultimately be the choice for best efficiency, but I think the venerable Autococker will rank right up there. This assumes proper tuning of course.

Isn't PPS stuff pretty efficient? Basically a better designed cocker?

Well tuned automated cocking guns like palmers or autocockers can be made very efficient. Merlins can be very efficient (cockers too). Those are probably some of if not the top.

I'll vote well tuned cockers as well - however, on the other end of the spectrum, I have no doubt that a poorly tuned cocker could perform even worse than the venerable king of the gas-guzzlers - the mag.

~You mean the vector? Mags are o.k. efficiency. On par with most blowbacks.

I have also heard that the Arrow Precision Sovereign 3 was also quite efficient, but I guess that is a throw back to its lineage. It is basically a euro trash 'Cocker right?

actually no, Arrow Precision makes the sterling - really high quality machining. I've never shot the soverign, but based on the quality of the sterling - they're prob really nice.

there is sometimes confusion about the sterlings
there was lada-proline
proline
and arrow

arrow would have only made sov 3s and sterling
proline sterling and sovs 1,2
lada-proline only sterlings
