I have been drooling over Cesare Pizzo’s limited run gear since the 90’s. I have even owned a couple of his autocockers for brief periods of time. His P&P Supercockers were nothing short of incredible. They had the wildest anodization jobs mixed with some of the best aftermarket parts that could be found in the world. They were simply at the absolute top of the paintball food chain. To this day, these old Supercockers are aggressively sought after by those that do not have them and highly coveted by those that do. So, I was very excited when I started seeing Cesare returning to paintball, breathing new life into the modern custom market and rebooting the Supercocker brand. Still… as much as I love autocockers, I already have all the autocockers that I want… well… all that I need. Want is a whole different animal. What I needed was a modern marker to keep up with the times. Something that when I travel, I could swap from electronic to pneumatic. I needed light, efficient and reliable. Then I started to hear rumours and see teasers on the net… Cesare was going to do some limited run SP Shockers… EXACTLY what I was looking for. When the final product pictures were released, I was blown away. These things looked absolutely amazing. I reached out to Cesare to find out more about these glorious beasts. Only 15 of these original Ultra Shockers were to be made. I think what I like the most about these markers is that they are “stock” without being even remotely stock. Let me explain. SP Shockers are incredibly made already. They are a high end tournament marker but the little brother to the Luxe line. I’m personally not a fan of the Luxe myself. Too many options, bells and whistles. The Shocker will shoot just as straight, just as fast and can be converted to mechanical which to me is a very big deal. With the growing number of mechanical, woodsball and classic tournaments that cap electronic markers rate of fire, having a mechanical trigger frame is an advantage. www.paintball.media 055
