Editing Shocker (section)

=== Shocker SFT ===

In 2003, Smart Parts introduced the '''Shocker SFT''', also initially marketed as the '''2003 Shocker''' or '''Shocker 03'''.

Unlike the original Shocker and Shocker Sport, the SFT used an open-bolt, single-solenoid spool-valve operating system.[1][6]

The redesigned marker was considerably smaller and lighter than its predecessors.

Its name referred to '''Seal Forward Technology''', a design in which the bolt sealed the firing chamber before releasing compressed gas.

The Shocker SFT used an electronic trigger, a pneumatic spool valve and an optional Vision anti-chop eye system. Vision subsequently became standard equipment.[6]

The marker was released commercially in July 2003.

The SFT became one of Smart Parts' principal tournament products and was widely used by the company's sponsored professional teams.
