We don't need one, but to answer your question. It's completly personal choice on whether you want to use a remote or not. I personally like the feel of a gun with the tank to put against my shoulder as a stock.

There are a lot of reasons why people dont use remotes in speedball.
1. most people who play speedball these days have HPA so no need for the remote coil to prevent liquid CO2.
2. A remote means its harder to switch hands when using both sides of the bunker.
3. A lot of people like to hold their tank against their shoulder as a brace so they shoot more accurately.
4. Remotes are funny


5. I guess the only advantage would be the fact that your gun wouldn't way that much but that's the only that I can think of.

no one uses remotes b/c then u have nothing to rest/steady your gun with.

and a pic i took at last years Chi open

the guy laying down unloaded on the guy comming around the corner. he got hit about 10-15 times. it was awsome

heres my impression of a run and gun. key word is impression. oh yeah..notice that im shooting a suck-pulse, no thanks to my unfinnished devilmag.

Remotes are great they make the gun lighter, but since they are not "cool" people wont be caught dead wearing them. Plus all the diving in speedball; that might get cumbersome.

oh herees and old setup i had to go with a remot but i eventually went to a max flow hp system so now i play bottle on gun, and i can say i like bottle on gun better for the reasons stated earlier. movement from hand to hand and as well as ballance.

[alooney11]

I really like that set up. But that tank on the back is a pain,.
