Way to hyjack the thread fellas

I tried running a classic RT on a remote for a while, funny thing is when I had an old 114ci steel tank on the remote the gun worked ok, the first two days.

For some reason it stopped working, i think the remote wouldnt allow enough air to recharge the marker fast enough.

I cant imagine why it worked in the first place.

I suggest against the remote

on the contrary

you can easily run a remote with compressed air....
the remote line has a larger inner diameter than the air passages in your gun

co2 gas is equivalent to about 800psi anyway so it'd be no real difference

i can run my AT-85 on full auto with a remote line
full auto around 15bps, i can hold the trigger down until i run out of balls and/or air with no skips or any problems...

...not to mention that the AT-xx series of guns are extremely sensitive to input pressure changes...

i personally don't run a remote on my mag because i prefer an on gun setup now, but there's no reason why you can't. It's just personal preference, don't let anyone tell you different

...yes n2/compressed air can go through remotes... (what is with noobs?)

I've used a remote for a long time. With a classic valve using a pre set should be no problem. With an RT valve you may experience drop off. I use an adjustable tank and run at 900psi for my RT. I run it in a camel pack and haven't had any problems with it at all.

To answer your question. YES. To answer the why? Have you ever had a 114/4500 Armageddon on the bottom of your marker? Imagine a 2 liter bottle on the bottom of your gun. It's not exactly light nor small. It works. I've seen it done with a 68/3k flatline.
