    Really dumb idea, but good for a laugh.

    As I was getting out of the pool after the scuba class I was TAing for, a thought hit me.

    I was using a small scuba tank, which doesnt weigh much. Maybe a 60 CF tank (don't really recall).

    Now, take a scuba yolk part from a reg, attach a good reg to it (something to reg it down to about 900 PSI), then run a remote to your marker. Voila, all day air for probably 5 days straight.

    Hell, you could make your marker look like a flamethrower, and be the ultimate scenario player at something like D-Day.

    Stupid idea, I know, but I'm bored as hell at work today.

      Funny you should post this, I actually have the setup but only use it to refill my paintball tanks. Its actually a 4500psi SCBA from my Fire Co. It would be easy enough to use it as a remote setup.

        A long time ago I use to run my MicroMag from a 114 ci remote on a butt pack. Would shoot a case easily and have plenty of air left at days end.
        I busted the face of the gauge a few times and had to replace the guage a number of times.

          Not that dumb really. A friend of mine used to do this with a small scuba tank and it worked fine. Of course, it did limit his movemnt a bit but running out of air was not one of his probelms.

            Hook up a set of doubles on your back, a back fed BIG (i'm talking 4 cases big) pod with a warp and 1-loader type feed, and get a cheap electro spyder to set on full auto and paint the town green.

            Yeah, I'm going to get another cup of coffee and stop thinking now.
