your thoughts on remote tank

[Watcher]

If you get a remote, a slide-check is a definite must.

I run remote with a qloader and no stock, real close to malJohann's setup.

It keeps things light and tight. I notice that if I get suprised on my left or right it is easier to take a qiuck shot than with a tank.

Oh yes it does. Also ideal for urban CQB situations, snapping through narrow doorways, while crawling its also easier to do a stealthy shot.

My least favorite aspect is the lack of ability to put my gun on a table and leave it without having to disconect the air. Its dumb but it can be a pain to be tied to the gun.

Also it makes it real tough for someone to try your gun since you have to take off your whole harness, this may be good or bad depending.

Get a slide check and your problem is solved. Then pull slide back to degas marker, disconnect and you're free!

You don't need a pack to hold the tank. I just use two wide velcro straps that go around the tank and your belt with the tank sitting horizontally, An 88ci tank is nice for scenario games but a little too bulky to run on the gun.
