with all the new guns going macrolineless..

[cockerpunk]

Im going the exact opposite direction!

this is quite possibly the least populist setup of all time. SS everything, powerfeed, revvy, underbore twistlock barrel, dual macrolines ...

and the money shot -

i have considered putting 3 lines on this sucker. one on each side, one out the front (need to get a direct mount to do it) to the forgrip, then hardlined back to the rail ...

[crazyjoe12]

but why?

[cockerpunk]

but why?

why not?

[Hilltop Customs]

redundancy :)

[Engus]

+ y-frame & big drop-forward = even less popular

Although if you had a centerfeed then it would actually be symmetrical, semetricality(word?) makes me happy :D

[automagmasta]

I think I have you beat. 1 big *** piece from my AirAmerican tank reg, and then instead of using dead-heads in the rail, I ran straight macro fittings, so tehre is macro going back and forth over the valve from one side to the other. Ill put up a pic later....

[behemoth]

because CP likes to work against the grain.

thats awesome ... im doing it right now ...

[maniacmechanic]

Why not stainless air lines ?

8 macro fittings, 4 lines

[Nick28]

It's all madness. When will it end 6 macrolines... 10? When I was a kid we had one, and we were damn proud to have it!

thats it!! now if you could run 2 more to and from the foregrip, youd have it all!

[om3n]

wait... does air run through all those macro lines? I'm confused :confused:

EDIT

well I just relooked at the pictures and apparently it does... is there a reason for all those macro lines other than that it looks sweet?...

[maniacmechanic]

yep

[Dirge]

That is awesome! I'm sure you'll never starve the valve on that thing.

[mostpeople]

... whats the point?

[Spider-TW]

... whats the point?
steam-cockerpunk :D

[cockerpunk]

its a heat exchanger ...

:rofl:

[Chrome]

Swap the foregrip for a gas through one with a t-fitting off the bottom exit, tap another hole in the other side of the vertical adapter, and you'll have two more!

[automagmasta]

That is awesome! I'm sure you'll never starve the valve on that thing.
the macro connecting left and right rail sides is NOT actually introducing air into the system, but instead just cycling dead air. if you have ever looked at an airthrough rail, you know that the ONLY ports that you can introduce air through is the front 2, the other ones are only open enough to run a gauge/lpr/extra dead air macro/ etc.

cp, what 'speedfeed' is on that revvy? I need one :D

[cockerpunk]

the speed feed is a sink drain rubber thing.

[Frizzle Fry]

the speed feed is a sink drain rubber thing.

"Name Brand" speedfeed:
$20 at a proshop or on the net, and they'll replace it if it breaks. After you mail them the broken one.

"Sink Drain Rubber Thing" speedfeed:
$5 at any hardware store, and you go buy a new one for $5 when/if it breaks.

Cockerpunk you are a man of logic. I personally use the "Part Of An Old Refrigerator/Ice Maker" speedfeed :)

[cockerpunk]

it was more of a, damn, my lid just broke

well everywhere had new lids for 10 bucks

i was like skip that ...

[automagmasta]

I see a trip to the hardware store in my near future...

I need a new tap set anyway, whats another 5 bucks?

I hear ya on that. I'll be home-sweet-new-home by Sunday so I'll shoot you a PM then about that feed you wanted. I almost forgot and then I saw this thread :rolleyes: Anyway, next move for you should be to nix that macro and toss some good ol' fashion braided SS airlines on there, or even R/T style hardline. It'd look like some sort of supercooled ray gun and also be clunky and unmodern (which is generally awesome).

so basically, it'd be oldschool.

I remember when somebody suggested I get a macroline setup... I'd never heard of it, but I said "no" for years assuming it would be torn out of its fitting by branches, brush, rocks, etc. Anyway, two or three years back I caved because macro is simple, cheap, and held in to the fitting by pressure. Fast forward 3 weeks, and I see a kid at a local field snap the tip of a fitting and vent 40something cubic inches of air into his mask. I still use it on many markers, but I run new "oldschool" setups all the time :)

Anyway, waiting on more of Cockerpunks franken-air innovations :P

[automagmasta]

:( I did this one first. :cuss:


:p jk

[Ninjeff]

Thats got all the right makings of a bad arsnic steam punk gun.

[Zygote]

Needs more gauges!

[Geronimo7]

Thar be the Davy Jones of automags :argh:

[Watcher]

LolWow :rofl:


Wait... Macs are going out of style?

Or are there just a lot of direct-mount air-thru guns like the Mini coming out?

Or is it a pun?

Well, SP owns the patent, and there are a couple other markers. I guess mags are unique in that if you use macroline, you're going to need (in most cases) at least 7+ inches of it. Also, having the inline regulator as part of the valve eliminates the need of many markers to have a secondary regulator in addition to the one on the tank.
