Remote Line or Drop Forward?

1. It kinda sorta works as an X-chamber. not really, though.

2. I've never had my remote get snagged. even if it did, it wouldn't be too hard to untangle it.

3. The best place would be in the pocket on the rear of a harness. most, if not all, harnesses should have a pocket where you can put the bottle.

Yes a remote line will function somewhat as a expansion chamber by giving the CO2 room to expand.  And since it almost always has to travel up from your harness on your waist to your gun, it will help prevent any liquid CO2 from reaching your gun. 

Yes in fact this is the reason I never use my coiled remote line.  I am the type of player who likes to hunt and crawl up on my enemies.  I have found that trying to sneak through thick brush or branches while remaining silent and stealthy can be difficult.  I reccomend you borrow someones for a game or two and see if it fits your style. (I sure wish I had)

Usually people keep their tanks on their harnesses/vests.  Many harnesses you will see in stores are listed "4+1 harness".  The 4 means it will hold four paint tubes, and the 1 means it will hold a tank as well. Hope this helps ya

I think the first guy was talking about it actually getting snagged and prevented you from moving before unsnagging it.  I not talking about it preventing you from moving but it grabbing branches and brush, possibly making more noise and movement than I want.

Is yours stainless steel or coiled?

1. it works ok, but not as good.
2. the coiled ones get tangled in thick bushes and brush sometimes. my friend got his snagged in a bush, dropped his gun behind him, and couldnt get out. so the enemy held him prisoner and shot him untill he gave away our positions, but he didnt. so unless your crawling through thick brush, you wont easily get caught.
3.most harnesses have a spot for them, but when i use my remote, i use my french gas mask bag. theres a lot of military stuff perfect for pods and tanks thats dirt cheap.

i dont really like remote lines. when its connected, your tethered to your gun, and the line tangles and gets in the way. but they do take the weight off your gun and make it more movable. i do own one, but barely use it.

but i like my drop forward a lot better. it keeps the tank well out of the way, balances it, makes it more maneuveravle and compact, and you can put down your gun and walk away without it following you.

i would definatly try someones out before buying one.

remote line: crap+waste of money

drop: comfortable and not as much as a fruity remote

^^i agree with him...try to find someone that has one or the other and test it out.

honestly i think you should try them out individually. then you should decide what kind of setup works for you. there will always be people that are different with their setups. its all personal reference. find out what will improve YOUR performance best
