does gas thru foregrip serve a purpose?

[stondroopy]

does it benefit me to use a gas through foregrip over a non gas through?ill be using comprssed air thnx for any help?

Using a gas through grip keeps the hoses shorter. You won't need a hose that runs from your bottle to the back of the valve. That means it has less of a chance of getting caught on something or getting in your way when manuvering with your marker.

To couple onto what athomas said, it also doubles the number of fittings, so it doubles the number of chances for a leak.

yea, there is 2 more air connections, but if you've put a hose on more than twice, you're usually pretty good about sealing them, i know i haven't had a leak in my mag since i got it.

The gas through could be thought of as a volumizer for your first reg (the one on your tank), so long as it's inner diameter is larger than the innner diameter of your line. In other words, it's like of reservoir of regulated air. It would be interesting to see someone test consistency at high CPS between a marker with a gas-thru, and one with macro or steel braided line.

If you get the right gas thru, it looks snazzy too.

[athomas]

Actually, the volumizer idea works to a certain extent, especially if you have a tank with a regulator that doesn't have as high a flow rate as the requirements of the gun. It will act as a buffer in the line. Most of the time its not needed for most guns.

People use it for a nice tight profile,also maybe looks good too?

[dinger]

also it provides a nice grip so that you can hold your gun better :)


and if the inner bore was nigger than the inner bore of the hose, it would therefore become an expansion chamber :o

i was thinking about getting the gas thru grip from the agd store is that any good?
