Empire Resurrection Few paintball guns are as iconic, or successful on the world stage, as the Autococker. The weapon of choice for some of the absolute greatest to ever play the game like the Ironmen, Image and Aftershock, Bud Orr’s Autococker looks, shoots and feels like nothing else. Empire’s Resurrection Autococker brings some tweaks to the original Autococker blueprint but the basic concept – a semiautomatic mechanical marker utilizing a front block-mounted three-way, ram and low-pressure regulator to handle recocking the marker for firing and a slide single-trigger frame – remains the same. A solid performer out of the box with a clamping feed neck, full barrel kit, on/off bottle adapter, Delrin quick-pull bolt, dual ball detents and a vertical regulator, the Resurrection is prime for upgrading for squeezing every last ounce of performance out of the marker. Lightweight with a snappy trigger pull that takes very little time to master and legendary closed-bolt accuracy, the Resurrection looks good, shoots well and at an MSRP of $549 offers players a great way to get into the Autococker game and see what all the fuss is about, assuming they don’t already know. www.EmpirePaintball.com www.paintball.media 063
