Just looking for the better bolt between the lurker Shocker Eigenbolt http://www.lurkerpb....cker-eigenbolt/ and the Tech T Enertia Bolt http://www.techtpain...s.aspx?CAT=3271. Now the Tech T bolt is $18.00 cheaper and it looks like it's almost the same design. I know that both made out of different materials, but, I was wondering if they give similar performance.

The TechT bolt might give some efficiency boost, but it's still somewhat mediocre.

The Lurker gets ridiculously high efficiency for a spool. A well-setup Shocker with a Lurker can get 1500-2000 shots off a 68/45 tank.
I barely did anything to mine, but I'm getting right around 900 shots with my 45/45 tank, which is pretty sweet. I'm sure if I tuned it a bit, I could coax another 100-200 shots out of my tank before I need a refill.

The lurker actually alters the way the gun fires, and basically makes use of extra gas that most regular bolts would ordinarily waste.

Using a gun that's been hardly maintained and tossed from person to person more than a village whore is hardly a fair way to compare the marker.

I'd definitely go with the Lurker Eigenbolt. It can be a pain to set up, but it causes a huge difference in performance.

The TechT bolt is essentially just a lighter stock HE bolt with a sub-par spring, where the Lurker bolt is a redesigned bolt with efficiency in mind. The Eigenbolt also comes with a legit Rhino spring, so just for that the Eigenbolt is already better. I just did an efficiency test on my Lurker'd shocker, and even with my less than ideal setup and conditions, I still got the equivalent of over 10 pods on a fill.
