...or at least their durability?

yeah the pictures really suck, for some reason the camera focus was stuck on manual and i didnt realize that until i took them, waited a while and then uploaded them.

i put all my gear through the diswasher on "rinse", my gun, tank, pack, pods, condom, bandana, even parts of my mask (not my halo of course :rolleyes: ) and its all fine. my gear was just so dirty i decided it would be easier to run it through than clean it by hand. and for those of you screaming RUST!!!! i took off my fill nipple cover which has steel in it, and pmed coolhand about the frame. the only part on the gun that can rust is the foregrip screws, which are already rusted like hell and i dont care about them anymore. the only problem i had was the residual soap in the dishwasher, so joey, if i smell like "cascade: complete" at the next practice, you'll know why ;).

Haha, that's awesome.
Can the dishwasher handle all of that dirt though?

well, i was more washing the tank cover, the tank was in there cause the marker needed to be gassed up. my dad sure didnt like the idea of having a gassed up marker running through the dishwasher, lol

and yeah it was cold, i used the setting "rinse". i thought about that, 3000 psi and hot water dont mix ;).

that looks awesome! But just wondering how do you get your macroline off your gun when your done playing with it? The residual air that the xvalve stores makes it impossible for me to pull of my macroline and i have to wait a day or two before i can.

Unscrew the thumbscrew in teh aft of the marker, and the valve will kinda push out a little bit. Pull the trigger and it pops right out. Sometimes the little bit of gas stays in there and makes it hard to get out like you described.

I dont have a dishwasher. I'm too po.

see my check-it products rail? it has an on/off with a bleed ;) i just unscrew it and all the air bleeds out of the macro line and valve.

There's a cheaper way...

I use a two hole ASA with a bleed screw valve from a SCUBA fill station. My original idea.
