Why don't you use a remote?

[�.C.]

Why don't you use a remote? I use a remote, and I LIKE IT. Some people think they get tangled and they DO but that's why you invest alittle more into a stainless one. I use a 88cu/3000psi and plan to get a bigger tank because I gotta remote, and remotes are also cheaper than nice drop forwards. The only problem is sliding, so I wear my harness on my front, some people laugh but it protects my jewels and makes pods easier to get at(we've all been in the situation that we couldn't find one back there right?

I used to run a remote, one of those thick, spiraled ACI remotes. I liked it a lot. Then I got HPA and fitted everyhting to my mag. Now it's nice and tight, besied, I couldn't get satified with the Flatline on a remote...

Well to put it bluntly, I have trouble enough keeping my pack with pods up and not slidding down while playing. I can't even think about having a tank on there too.

Also I think it is too combersome. I rather have my system all in one then too have a wire running to my gun.

When I used Co2 back years ago I used a remote ... cause the tank was very small, and my mag was more "compact" ...

Now with the larger HPA tank its VERY uncomfortable to me to have it on a pack ... I just dont like the feel of it w/ my current setup so I put my tank back ongun.

i had a remote for my old tippman but i havent bothered with one on my mag. i might go to one but right now it feels ok without a remote.

The weight of the tank doesn't make my lower back feel good, and the line got tangled up a lot. Mainly the lower back pain tho.

I ran remote until it broke, part of it got kinked in my gear bag, and it developed a leak. It allowed me to get nice and tight. Alot of people always say stuff about how much they don't like them, without using them, it's all personal preference. I've got the tank mounted on my E-Mag now though, I've got a Dead-On Blade Drop Forward (highly recommend it) that balances oh so nicely with the Warp, and now I can put my marker down without worrying that it's connected to me.

i used a remote with a gas-thru stock for a while...i found its a lot harder to shoot out the other side of the bunker...its also a pain to keep the remote hose out of the dirt when its not attached to your gun, but still on your tank.

Back when I used a remote while playing in the early 90s (92-93) I would run the hose up my sleeve and down the shoulder. This worked great for keeping the hose from getting caught in anything. lol

i used a remote once with my tippmann and haven't used one since. it was a steel one but when i ran past one guy i snagged his marker and he was just barely able to catch it before it fell in some mud. it also got snaged on low branches. it made my tippy less balanced and was an all around pain the butt and it got a leak in it.

3 reasons for me

1) cant sholder...
2) cant watch the quages on my tank...
3) I have no harness to put one in

said to hell with it and got a drop forward. i didnt feel like buying a t stock, and i didnt like my gun being connected to my body.

'cause if you use a remote people will call you a newbie.

Remotes aren't "hip" anymore.

[Army]

Well, Bill, I think I am fairly hip (just, don't ask Sarah about that) I use an ACI remote on the Minimag whenever I use it with Co2, which is most of the time.

I'm not much for fad, I like what works, and Big Red on his remote....works

[Carpecerevisi]

I use a remote on my pump at all a times and on my cocker while playing back position in speedball. Mines one of those little coiled microline CMI ones that you get off ebay from paintball-international for like 15 bucks, and it helps immensly in weight reduction and flickablity on both guns.
