    Well... I know that the best macro is rated for about 900psi... so any normal macro is rated at about 800

    And I know that the burst pressure it higher than this... but that doesn't mean they can survive air pressure going into it at that rate

    I've had macro blow when running normal co2... not a fun time.

    But the only way to officially garauntee it to not blow is to steel braid hose it or to deal with it running at about 900

        Stainless braided line, for when you get sick of replacing macroline.

          Find a local Hydraulic hose store, sometime they sell macroline that hold more psi, Mine can withstand 7600 psi. And they are so much cheaper than they sell in paintball stores. Here sell $1 foot.

            1000 psi through macroline for me for the past 6 months and no ruptures, and it is just normal macroline. Either my pb store sells better stuff or I have a freak of nature piece of macro
