    Squid...Please forgive me for farting in your parade. But I think I should tell you what I know about Macro. I would stay clear of Nylon 11 and think about Nylon 12. Nylon 11 does not have ample UV ratings for Paintball use. UV rays from the sun degrade plastic lines very quickly. Every time you set your gun down in the sun, you are degrading the line. It can get VERY hot on the hood of a car and I have seen it blow just sitting there. I only use the Parker line because the Black is the only line rated UV stable for what we use it for. The Parker line in colors is even worse, but better than the cheap stuff in Black. It is NOT (the Parker) 100% safe, but it's the closest I have found that will withstand the rigors of Paintball use. There have been very few complaints on the line after 1000's of ft sold. Its the fittings that worry me. They have even less of a rating. Use only QUALITY fittings. Bend Radius is also a top concern as some applications call for a tight bend. So what I am saying is that burst pressure or working pressure alone is not what makes for a good rating. Follow me? Maybe your stuff is fine....I dunno till I could test it out.

        Well, trust me tuna, I DO appreciate tht. Im not looking to sell shady products, but im fairly confident in this hose. Im being told it is the best of the best, and it cant be beat. there will be an initial 100' ran through the machines for sale and testing, and I will be sure to send you as well as many other people Im comfortable with for testing, with your consent of course. I have been told this stuff will last longer than nylon 12 and is overall better. But again, they dont deal in paintball.

              if it turns out good i might have to pick up a good 10' of the stuff. THat is, provided it doesnt burst and kill everyone ina large radius the first time you use it

                    Squid, I *THINK* HaveBlue already sells Nylon-11 macroline.

                    But nevertheless, good luck and if I ever need macro, I'll be sure to drop you a PM! =)

                        uhhh.... I paid 35 shipped for 50ft for some nice macro. I think that comes out to .7o bucks a foot shipped.

                        Good luck Squid I believe you will be hard pressed to sell macro to most serious mag guys.

                            I don't get why people use macro. It blows up. It slips out. Why not just use steal braided hose?

                              Because it harder to get it the right length and then if u change ur set up u have to go through all that crap again...

                              Ill take about 10 feet whenever u get it

                                1) its nylon 12, not 11, not as tuff as nylon 11
                                2. if you want 50 feet, I will sell for less than 35...im talking 1 dollar or so a foot if you only want a few feet. trust me, my prices will be better than air soldiers And yes, this macro will work with normal fittings. Tunaman, and magman, you game for testing this stuff for quality check?
