Description Of Components

 

Cocker Body Body: The body allows for attachment of all internal and external components. Bodies come as standard or mini versions and can be milled and anodized in just about any imaginable way.

 

The body is divided into an upper and lower chamber. The upper chamber houses the bolt, ball detent, feed neck, & has threads for the barrel. The lower chamber houses the exhaust valve & body, valve & hammer springs, hammer, valve retaining nut, IVG & has threads for the front block fitting.
Cocker Valve Spring Valve Spring: This spring holds the exhaust valve closed preventing air from entering the bolt when the marker is not firing.
Cocker Valve Exhaust Valve: Is held closed by the valve spring and provides a seal against the valve body.

 

Valve Body (Guide): Allows air to the bolt when the exhaust valve is open.

 

Valve Guide Plug: This set screw threads into the bottom of the main body and aligns the valve body in the proper position.
cocker Valve Nut Valve Body Retainer Nut: Threads into the lower chamber and holds the valve body in the proper position.
Cocker Hammer Hammer: Accelerated forward by the hammer spring, when released by the sear, to open the exhaust valve.

 

Hammer Lug: Threaded vertically into the hammer to catch the sear and is adjustable, for timing, from the top of the body when the bolt is removed.
Cocker Hammer Spring Hammer (Main) Spring: Accelerates the hammer to open the exhaust valve.
Cocker IVG Internal Velocity Governor (Adjuster) or IVG: Threads into the back side of the lower chamber and tensions the hammer (main) spring. The more tension on the spring, the higher the velocity will be and vice-versa.
Cocker Back Block Back Block: Threaded to the pump arm, retains the bolt, and re-cocks the hammer via the cocking rod.
Cocker Cocking Rod Cocking Rod: Routed through the lower hole in the back block and threaded into the back of the hammer. Re-cocks the hammer via the back block and the end cap is adjustable for timing.
Cocker Bolt Bolt: Housed in the upper chamber and attached to the upper back block hole with a quick-release pin. The bolt channels air from the valve to the breech to accelerate the paintball.
Cocker Ball Detent Ball Detent: Threads into the body and prevents the marker from feeding more than one paintball at a time.
Cocker Slide Frame Slide Trigger Frame: Houses the trigger, trigger spring, sear, sear spring, & safety.

 

Pulling the trigger lowers the sear, which releases the hammer, and pulls the 3-way timing rod.
Cocker Hinge Frame Hinge Trigger Frame: Houses the trigger, trigger spring, sear, sear spring, & safety.

 

Pulling the trigger lowers the sear, which releases the hammer, and pushes the 3-way timing rod.
Cocker Timing Rod Timing Rod & Coupler: Connects the trigger frame to the 3-way and is adjustable, for timing.
Cocker Front Block Front Block: Houses the 3-way, front regulator, & ram. Connects to the front of the lower chamber and provides air pressure to the front regulator via milled air passages.
Cocker Banjo Front Block, Gas Block, or Banjo Fitting: Attaches the front block to the lower chamber and provides air pressure to the front block via milled air passages.
Cocker Pump Rod Pump Rod: Connects the back block to the ram.
Cocker Ram Ram: Receives air from the 3-way and actuates the pump arm.

 

Pressure applied to the front barb of the ram pushes the pump rod & back block to the rear, re-cocking the hammer and pulling the bolt to the rear allowing a paintball to be chambered.

 

Pressure applied to the back barb of the ram pushes the pump arm and back block forward, sending the bolt forward and closing the breech.
Cocker Front Reg Front (Low Pressure) Regulator: Receives air pressure from the inline regulator, regulates it to a lower pressure and sends that pressure to the 3-way.
Cocker 3-Way 3-Way: Receives air pressure from the front regulator and is actuated by the trigger via the timing rod.

 

If a slide trigger frame is installed, pulling the trigger pulls the 3-way shaft to the rear allowing air to exit the rear barb of the 3-way and enter the front barb of the ram. Releasing the trigger allows air to exit the front barb of the 3-way and enter the rear barb of the ram.

 

If a hinge trigger frame is installed, then the front and rear 3-way hoses need to be reversed. This is because pulling the trigger on a hinge frame pushes the 3-way shaft forward opposite of what a slide trigger frame does.

 

Also some aftermarket 3-ways such as the Dye PMP & Shocktech Bomb (shown left) require the hoses to be reversed.
Cocker LP Hose Low Pressure Tubing: Connects, and provides air pressure, the front regulator to the 3-way and the 3-way to the ram.
Cocker ASA Vertical Air Source Adapter (ASA): Allows air from the inline regulator to enter the marker's air chamber. Connects to the bottom of the marker forward of the trigger frame and has a hole milled in it where the timing rod runs through.
Cocker Beavertail Beavertail: Attaches to the bottom rear of the marker and prevents anything from interrupting the operation of the cocking rod.
