Macro Lines

[blackdragunsblood]

hey everyone i played the other day (saturday) with the macro on it and i got it to seal up really nice. i have never heard of a macro line exploding but i did cut my line to short so i had to go buy more at the paintball store but it all worked out good and thanks for the advice.

well i had a friend w/ macro on his cocker and he wiggled it and it exploded and the co2 froze half of the skin off of his hand

I run macro on my lp markers. the mag will be using a "grease whip."

Just dont buy cheap macro, problem solved.

becuase in hot weather co2 can exceed the pressure rating of the macro (co2 can exit the tank at any pressure between 300 and 2000 psi depending on weather conditions


and most macro line has a burst rating of 1400-1500psi

Co2 is just evil...

hmm... my shocker has yet to have that problem. I think there are alot of over excited folks concerning macroline use. Again I wouldnt use it on a mag that is running a retro however I beleive co2 would run just fine.

Macro line is cool, but i will eventually get SS with black shrink tubing.... eventually....

[skittlesRgood]

i use the good SS stuff. mainly cause i get it for free at work (play it again sports, fremont) but i just dont trust the macro lines. might as well buy the SS, it wont break on you and itll even save u the money of buying the macro lines after a while.

Don't ever buy clear macro from actionvillage...Mine blew holes 3 times and in two of my friends guns...its evil

[billybob_81067]

where do you get good stuff?

What's the best macro line to buy? And the worst ones to avoid?

I'm thinking of getting some for my mag just because you can make them any length you want them to be...

pop!

I have seen macro line bust d/t an abrasion on the line. When it did the kids autococker became a $600 toy top for about ten sec. Me thinks it needed retimed after that little spin in the dirt. hee hee never with my automag.

[i_baked_cookies]

ive never heard of marco bursting. i defentialy dont want that happening to me!

[shinobidice]

I use a preset compressed air tank, and since its preset at 800 psi and don't fluctuate if at all. So that means i'm safe right? Anyeays with my setup the thing would fly out spin down and hit my tank then the bottom of my hand cause the top one is fixed the bottom one is a swivel.
