I recently bought the Shocker ERA. The new design resembles the SFT, and I genuinely appreciate the Shocker era’s aesthetic. However, my excitement took a turn when I accidentally broke it while removing the solenoid. Despite the mishap, I managed to fix it promptly.

The ERA impresses with a slightly superior feel compared to the AMP. Notably, the tool-less solenoid removal feature is a mixed bag for me—it’s convenient, yet a tad flimsy. The solenoid’s attachment mechanism feels loose and precarious, making it the gun’s most fragile part.

Captain O-Ring Players Kit Large Color...
  • O-rings are color coded by size, eliminating the headache of matching up sizes
  • This 360 piece Players Kit contains 18 of the most common sized o-rings found in paintball equipment (20 of each size)
  • Kit includes o-rings sorted by size/color in individual compartments

Despite some drawbacks, I prefer it over the AMP due to aesthetic improvements and ergonomic enhancements. Stay tuned for a comprehensive review.
