Can you run compressed air through remotes?

[kauai_paintball]

I was wondering if you can run comressed air through a remote, Ive never seen anything that says you can, and I dont have an adjustable tank, I have a basic 47/3000 psi crossfire nitro. I was also wondering if anyone knows the input pressure on my crossfire, I need like 800 PSI to go into a mag right? Im trading my angel for a mag, and need some help :)

[DementedChild]

why would you want to?

[kauai_paintball]

Because Thats all I have for now. untill i get some quick disconnect lines.

Hi I am new to the forum.

Well remotes are usually rated for 3000+ psi and the output of a 47/3000 is usually 800 psi. Meaning it should handle it easily. But then again as mentioned before... Why?

[DementedChild]

wow you are new to the forums. what you run?

[SimmaDownNow]

Air wise or gun wise? And I want to set up my sig I just made do I have to do total html or what?

[DementedChild]

whole guns wise, no you can just use the [img] settings

[SimmaDownNow]

So far I have:
minimag
freak, armson stealth oldskool, oldskool AA
intelli
homemade woodgrips
LX
Warp
I think that's it. Gun is in the garage right now so don't know if I am missing anything.

And could you refresh my memory on img settings?

Way to hyjack the thread fellas

I tried running a classic RT on a remote for a while, funny thing is when I had an old 114ci steel tank on the remote the gun worked ok, the first two days.

For some reason it stopped working, i think the remote wouldnt allow enough air to recharge the marker fast enough.

I cant imagine why it worked in the first place.

I suggest against the remote

[Jerhew]

on the contrary

you can easily run a remote with compressed air....
the remote line has a larger inner diameter than the air passages in your gun

co2 gas is equivalent to about 800psi anyway so it'd be no real difference

i can run my AT-85 on full auto with a remote line
full auto around 15bps, i can hold the trigger down until i run out of balls and/or air with no skips or any problems...

...not to mention that the AT-xx series of guns are extremely sensitive to input pressure changes...

i personally don't run a remote on my mag because i prefer an on gun setup now, but there's no reason why you can't. It's just personal preference, don't let anyone tell you different

[kauai_paintball]

Thanks, Ive never used a remote before, so i dont know, Id preferr not using a remote, but You gotta do what you gotta do.

wow this is kind of like a chat room :D


...two pb/forum noobs going at it....om...CLOSE THIS :P

...yes n2/compressed air can go through remotes... (what is with noobs?)

...they should ask "CAN air go through a hose???...damn im 1337/leet"

[vf-xx]

I've used a remote for a long time. With a classic valve using a pre set should be no problem. With an RT valve you may experience drop off. I use an adjustable tank and run at 900psi for my RT. I run it in a camel pack and haven't had any problems with it at all.

To answer your question. YES. To answer the why? Have you ever had a 114/4500 Armageddon on the bottom of your marker? Imagine a 2 liter bottle on the bottom of your gun. It's not exactly light nor small. It works. I've seen it done with a 68/3k flatline.
