Does anyone use a remote? I was thinking that if I used a remote on my RT Pro (w/ rogue rail) it would be super light. I guess I just don't see anyone with higher level guns that use remotes. Why is that?

lowers pressure over the length of the hose sometimes, sorta like why you dont use an expansion chamber with HPA but a gas thru

ohh yeah, I am also thinking about really only using it for scenario games. That may not change anything but I thought I would throw it out there.

THe only time I would use on is If im at a huge scenario game and I had a 114/4500. I could get 1.5 cases off one fill!

yeah scenarios, I plan on using mine on my micromag only because the tank would offset the balance of holding it without having a foregrip.


But I really don't mind if I'm out with the times, the remote was what I first used because I just couldn't get use to holding the marker with such a big tank attached.


I don't care if you laugh at me at Shatnerball :p

one of the guys at the field whar i play uses a remote with his classic mag with x-valve.he loves it,he said he tried to use the hpa tank right on the marker but couldnt get use to it.i guess it all come down to personal preference as to what feels righ for you.

Yes, I still use a remote. I use it with my Stroker. I like to use my Stroker in pistol mode, so a remote comes in handy.

looks like you go from a coil to SS remote line. Pretty good idea to keep it from pulling your gun away :)

I just went from remote to it mounted to the gun this year. I liked it very much, but on the airball field I need to be tight and be able to slide and so forth. The remote and the gear I was using didn't allow for that well. That is why I changed. If I were to play rec ball and senerio games only, I'd switch back in a heart beat.

when does doing what you feel comfortable, have to do with what everyone else is doing? :p
