Editing Shocker (section)

=== Shocker NXT ===

In 2006, Smart Parts introduced the '''Shocker NXT''', an updated version of the SFT platform.

The NXT made its tournament debut at the 2006 PSP Mid-Atlantic Open.[7]

The marker retained the basic spool-valve operating mechanism but incorporated revised internal components, electronic controls and ergonomics.

Changes included:

* A redesigned trigger and frame.
* Break-beam electronic eyes.
* Improved ball detents.
* Revised body milling.
* An upgraded high-efficiency bolt assembly.
* Updated barrel threading and accessories.

The NXT also introduced a change in barrel compatibility. Unlike the SFT, which used the original Shocker barrel threading, the NXT adopted the Impulse/Ion thread standard. Consequently, barrels designed for the earlier Shocker SFT were not directly interchangeable with the standard NXT.[7]

The NXT represented the final major Shocker platform developed by the original Smart Parts business.
