      Believe me I know Chi-Town is a long haul... 7.5 hour drive North for me to link up with the Team I play on (Hellions)... I will try and make it out to Sam's and give it a go one of these days... Also two of my Team members are from Sheboygan, WI (Husband and Wife) and they are killer...

      Take it Easy Brother :)

        A remote makes more sense for a guy that carries a lot of paint and a tank larger than 68ci. Or if youre going to do some CQB and you want a shorter rig.

        Edit: WK, I dont think Ive seen that all put together yet. Very nice.
        I'm the same way, only on occasion i'll carry 3 pods, or 20 10 rounders if i'm playing SC

          I figure if Im not gone by the time I shoot out my hopper and 2 pods then Im not playing aggressive enough.

            Haha, i can understand that, but it depends on the field i'm on, on woodsball fields i tend to get behind people because i can, speedball i'm just aggressive and run as far up as i can on the break, though i learned to not go for the snake if you did that last time you played with regulars at the field because i did that with a pump and got hit from everywhere because my two friends with minis were further back, this time the guy was ready for me. Guess i'm getting too old, because i'm becoming a little too predictable haha.

              I used a coiled remote briefly a long time ago but just always found keeping the tank on the marker more comfortable. (and I don't shoulder the tank either) It just felt more 'free'

                Well, I'm actually contemplating pulling off my warp now.. I had to take it off when I got home to clean my gun and I realized:

                1) It's really annoying to clean behind
                2) It actually adds a fair bit of weight to the gun

                Waving my mag around with just the tank on it felt pretty good.. I've run a warp forever but I'm kinda contemplating going back to vert feed now
