I think macro is only rated at 800psi @75 degrees, or the hose could have came loose before you aired it up.

[emopunker2004]

so i mean it actually explosed. like theres a hole in the side now

[BiNumber3]

there's a lot of cheap macroline on the market:/

[snoopay700]

This is why i don't trust macroline fully.

[emopunker2004]

and that thing was loud! lol guess i need more.

[Ando]

If your going to buy some, get it right here. I guarantee this stuff won't blow on you.

EDIT: Get the black hose. I had it at 2k yesterday testing my Geddon and shot 4 Dye lock lid tubes full of paint (600 rounds) with no issues.

so wait its the same price for 10 ft as it is for 50? both showed a price of 16 bucks in my cart

Look more closely at the cart. 50' is $16 + $27 for a total of $43.

And even good stuff just sold for the wrong purpose.

I call the unrated cheap stuff marco-line.

Same thing happend to me once, but I had the gun up to my ear because I was looking for a leak, ruptured my ear drum. When it first happened I thought I was going to lose my ability to hear in that ear. Sounded louder than a shotgun.

Macroline should never be on a HP gun such as an automag. Only use steel braid grade or higher.

Macro is dangerous under alot of pressure.

[emopunker2004]

???? how is that? i ran macro on all my electros using the same 850 psi output tank i have now. Macro serves the same purpose here as it did there, it runs air from the asa to the regulator.

yeah, but remember that things have pressure ratings for a reason...

its that same reason that most mag owners use steel braid or stainless hard line.

Lies!!!!

Most mag users don't use braided line.

Those that do use it, use it for nostalgic reasons. The macro line I linked is rated for 1k working and 3 k burst. I've had it up to 2k with no issues. I'm going to run it all day at that pressure next time I'm on the field just to prove it's not a hazard. You guys that are having issues need to get quality line and not the $1 a foot crap they sell on Flea-Bay

[ManInBlack]

I've been running stuff i got from Macrolineguy at up to 1200psi with no problems.

Agreed been using macro line on my guns for 10 years and have never had a blow out or anything go bad really.

Thats not why I use it. ;)

I use macro line on my Micromags because I've owned more Micros than you could count on your fingers and toes, and about 90% of the ones I've picked up used had serious wear as the result of carelessness with SS line, wrenches, and quick-connects. I'd like to thing I'm more careful than that, but it doesn't hurt to be safe and the only Micros I have left are the creme de la creme of those I've owned... Plus I only run 900psi through my classics.

Now SS bodied mags, that's a different story. Hand me a Minimag with 3' of SS line from the foregrip looped around the powerfeed and a proconnect to the valve, and I'm good to go. Toss on a 20oz c02 tank, an Indian Springs loader full of 4 month old Marbalizer, and a my old Vents Predators, and it might as well be 1995 again :D

[paintmann111]

Where is a good place that I can pick up steel braided line for a good price?
