    Micro/macro

    What are the advantages/dissadvantages of each? I've always used macroline and never had any problems, but was just curious what the difference was...

      Microline is smaller and way less reliable, not that macro is unless you get good stuff. Th main disadvantage of both is they dont always hold preuusre very well and tend to burst, micro more so than macro.

      I dont think the airflow would be that low with micro as the guy above me stated but idk cus ive never used it on any of my guns.

          If you buy quality macroline or microline, you will be fine. People prefer macro, simply because it typically takes to higher pressures, and is a tad safer. I have bad experiences with microline leaking as well, from the fittings.

            I have heard from many different sources (though I cannot confirm) that microline can starve your gun for air, due to its smaller size.
            My feedback is available here.

                maybe you can provide some links? I wouldnt think at our pressures that the ID of the line would make that much of a difference.
