Smart Parts releases new NXT Shocker
The new Shocker NXT builds on world-class tournament proven performance of the Shocker SFT with new features designed hand in hand with Smart Parts sponsored teams and professional players.
Few names are associated with as many paintball tournament wins as that of the Shocker. Through the Shocker 4x4, Turbo and SFT some of the best players in the world have stood on the awards podium with a Shocker by their side. With the advent of the Shocker SFT the Shocker took on a whole new look with a sleek, compact and lightweight design that delivered jaw dropping rates of fire. Now the Shocker NXT takes the name one step further.
Built on Shocker SFT technology the new Shocker NXT incorporates features that were developed and tested on custom markers built for Smart Parts sponsored teams. The new features include:
• New look with multi-axis milling
• Break-beam Vision
• Stronger feedneck threading
• Impulse/Ion barrel threading
• Integrated air system rail
• Increased vertical regulator flow rate and consistency
• High Efficiency Bolt/Valve assembly
• Integrated, removable snatch grip
• Four point, externally adjustable trigger
• Dual bearing trigger pivot
• Threaded trigger and circuit board mount pins
• Forward offset vertical regulator mount
• Trigger guard with increased fingerspace
• Sculpted plunger style dual ball detent assemblies
• Harder anodized finish
• Backwards compatibility
The last feature on the list should be one of the most prominent. Shocker NXT main assemblies are backwards compatible, providing an upgrade path for Shocker NXT owners instead of obsolescence. Providing continued value to our customers is natural, because we believe that Equipment Counts.
Features
Bold New Look – The field proven performance of the Shocker SFT, with its minimal weight, compact size, sizzling rate of fire and simple maintenance has accompanied some of the world’s best professional paintball teams to the winner’s podium. The latest evolution of the Shocker combines many of the key features found on customized professional team guns with new styling in the form of the Shocker NXT.
Strengths From Its Heritage – The same features that have made the Shocker SFT an overwhelming success are the base on which the Shocker NXT is built.
• Seal Forward Technology – This Smart Parts innovation places the breech seal o-ring in the breech instead of on the bolt, providing a perfect seal against blowback without producing rate of fire limiting bolt-drag.
• True Electropneumatic Design – Just like the original Shocker, and all of the Smart Parts lineup, the Shocker NXT is built on a true electropneumatic design. A precision, fast acting solenoid valve drives the bolt and valve system for unbeatably quick operation with minimal vibration.
• Simple 9-volt Powered Operation – Because of the very low power consumption that true electropneumatic operation provides, the Shocker NXT electronics are able to achieve a long operating life from a standard 9-volt alkaline battery.
• 20+ BPS Performance – OK, the tournaments may say you have to dial it down to 15, but when you open it up, it rocks.
• Multi-Gas Operation – While the tournament world is dominated by compressed air, the low operating pressures of the Shocker mean that in scenario games where reloading times are few and far between, it can take advantage of the high number of shots per fill provided by CO2.
Break Beam Vision - The latest and most reliable anti-chop Vision technology is fully incorporated into the Shocker NXT body with no external wires or wire covers. Multiple Vision software modes allow the Shocker NXT Vision system to adapt to a variety of operating conditions, body and eye configurations.
High Efficiency Bolt – The HE Bolt assembly, which was an often-purchased option for the Shocker SFT is standard equipment on the Shocker NXT. Its increased air storage volume, increased volume flow path and gas supply control maximize the number of shots available between gas fills.
Integrated Air Rail - The Shocker NXT grip’s integrated rail system allows standard dovetail air system accessories to mount directly to the grip frame or use traditional inline mounting screws.
Rail Mounted on/off ASA - Positive air system control means longer o-ring and solenoid life for screw in gas supplies. The easy to clean and rebuild design of the Smart Parts on/off ASA means a lifetime of reliable operation. The integral dovetail mount matches perfectly to the Shocker NXT grip frame’s integrated air system rail for solid adapter free mounting.
Feature Packed Grip Frame - A built-in snatch grip and expanded trigger guard with generous finger space are complimented by threaded lock pins which make the trigger, circuit board and on/off button easier to change yet more secure. Recessed frame screws disappear into the grip frame for a cleaner look.
Four Point Adjustable Trigger - The fully adjustable Shocker NXT trigger can be dialed-in to suit any taste. Adjustments for trigger pre-travel, activation point, post-travel, and return resistance may all be made at the trigger face without needing to open the grip, remove the trigger or remove the grip frame. Dual bearing construction provides a super-smooth pull while protecting from side to side slop. The trigger may also be removed for cleaning or upgrade while the grip frame is in place.
Standard Barrel Threads – The Shocker NXT uses the Smart Parts standard barrel thread found on the Impulse, Nerve, Ion and SP-8.
High Volume Regulator - The new Shocker NXT regulator offers increased flow rate for maximum velocity stability. The integrated velocity lock prevents pressure adjustments from being made without tools, making the Shocker NXT 100% tournament and field legal.
Vertical Regulator Mount – The Shocker NXT Vertical ASA features a longer and wider mounting surface for greater structural integrity and a more forward offset placement providing more grip space around the NXT regulator.
Sculpted Rebuildable Ball Detent Assemblies - Left and right spring loaded ball detent assemblies are multi-axis CNC machined to integrate seamlessly into the body. They prevent double feeding and provide easy access to inspect and clean the break-beam Vision eyes. The ball detent assemblies are easily rebuilt with replacement plunger and spring sets.
Harder Anodized Aluminum Finish - The new Shocker NXT anodized aluminum finish is harder and stronger than ever before, to keep the Shocker looking good even under the most abusive tournament or scenario conditions.
Positive Grip Friction Feedneck – The Shocker NXT Feedneck is equipped with a pair of internal o-rings that give it a positive grip on a wide variety of loader neck sizes. A new, stronger mounting thread specification keeps it solidly installed in the Shocker NXT body.
Backwards Compatibility – Shocker NXT main assemblies can be mixed and matched with Shocker SFT main assemblies and key components. Existing Shocker SFT owners can upgrade their paintgun to NXT performance or bring many of their Smart Parts and aftermarket accessories over to use on a new Shocker NXT.
