ok well i just recently aqcuired a tac 8 to use with my tac 1 (i love tac things)
my only issue was that my e-tac has a maxflo on it and i need a way to run a constant air setup to the tac 8 because i do not wish to spend money on 12 grams so i needed to allow the maxflo to be attached to a remote line.
This was not the issue, the main issue is that the nipple for the remote line would have to attach to the maxflo directly and could not be sealed off when not in use (aka when i want to use only the etac). Then i stumbled accross the staubli QD setup aka the proline proconnect
I aquired 2 (one staubli and 1 proline) and they function exactly the same but look slightly different (although 1 seems to eject the line a bit more than the other)
This would seem to fix all my problems, however... the new issue is that the female end would need to go onto the maxflo to prevent air from escaping when no remote is attached, and the male would have to attach to the male end of the remote (where the tank adapter had been)
so i took a 90* adapter from 32 degrees paintball and attached a male nipple (male to male adapter) so i could then attach the female end of the staubli to it.
I then took a female coupling (female to female adapter) and used that to attach the male plug end of the staubli to the male end of the remote.
i used a swivel 90 adapter for ease of movement and ability to tuck the staubli next to the maxflo if unneeded but here is what she looks like now that i am done
