advanteges of anti siphen

You won't get liquid CO2 feeding into your marker, only gas. It will help to improve consistency. Used alongside a regulator and/or a remote hose, CO2 becomes much more effective in terms of precision.

but is it a must

 

I wouldn't get it because that means you have to buy one for each tank. I would go with an expansion chamber. A remote acts like an expansion chamber also. It is your pick. Some don't like remotes others do.

and wat is the remote

<shrug> depends on what you want, but usually they're pretty cheap. $25 or so. Less if you know where to look.

x-chambers can be as little as $20 or as much as $60,which is still pretty affordable.a remote is a plastic or braided metal hose that takes the tank off your gun and lets you choose where to store it.put the two together and you should see a big improvement in consistancy and less freezing up

An anti-siphon is a copper tube that acts sort of like a snorkle (heh, I said snorkle) that is pointed up towards the top of your tank above the liquid co2 and should be installed by a professional only and does a much better job at keeping out liquid co2 than an expansion chamber could ever hope to do. It only costs about $7 but the downside to that is you can't use the tank you got it installed in on other guns unless you swap the asa's.

An expansion chamber looks like a front grip and is often used as one. It has anywhere from I believe 4 to 30 or so chambers that allow co2 to expand before it gets into your gun. A good x-chamber will cost about $30 dollars but even the best x-chamber won't completely keep all of the liquid co2 out of your gun.

A remote line is a coiled hose that allows you to wear your tank in a pack designed to do so or in a backpack or something. This can keep  liquid co2 out of your gun because when you wear your tank in a pack it will be vertical and since liquid co2 is heavier than gassious co2 it will sit on the bottom of the tank thus preventing and liquid co2 from getting into your gun. Remote lines cost about $30 but you'll need a pack to use it with so figure at least $50 for the setup.

Also, it would be completely pointless to use a remote line and an anti-siphon in conjunction with each other because they would cancel out each others benefits and you would do the exact opposite of what you set out to accomplish by drawing nothing but liquid co2 into your gun.
