Shocker ERA mech any good?

[RUN100]

Haven’t played in a few years (life happens), turning 40 this spring and figured getting back into the game would be a good time.
anyone have any experience around the mechanical shocker era? I see ANS has them for $100 off. I just want something simple, reliable, and that won’t destroy the bank (kind of like most of the automags I’ve owned)

thanks guys!

I had one for a minute, it's okay but not for the new price tag. I'd rather have an Automag, LOL. If you're set on a new design, I'd take the PE 170R over this.

I hear ya, I actually last had a m170r a few years back and absolutely loved it!

Seems worth the $500 if you ask me. I had a mechanical shocker Amp that worked quite nicely. It was really comfortable in the hands and was great on the air. I can only see the mechanical Era being an improvement. If it's something you're going to use a lot you may want to consider buying the Method bolt for it as well.

Thanks for the reply and insight. I’ll look into the bolt too

the ergonomics don't suit me, i find them uncomfortable.
but they shoot good, thats for sure. triggers have a good feeling

i prefer the emek and related platforms myself. much bigger foregrips, chunky and solid. they are quite reliable.

Someday I’ve got to try an emek,
I may give the shocker a go. I loved the m170r I had, never should have parted ways with it

I had one briefly, it was harder on paint than my 180, so it was no good for the winter

I would get an Etha 3M over the Shocker.

Trade My Gun has them for $429 with a speedster hopper.

I just bought a Mech Shocker Era and love it. It feels really small to me compared to my Etha 3. Another mech to consider is a Nova N2 Dreadnaught- love mine.

My wife has one,.and the thing rips. Her go to mech. Is small though, my etha3m feels better in my gorilla sized hands.
