Which would be better for a response trigger.  I have a friend who says remote lines make your gun unbalanced but I'm still not sure on what to get.          Thanks

It depends on what you play. If you play woodsball get the remote because it acts like an expansion chamber and gets the weight of the c02 tank off your gun. I'm not sure if it makes your gun unbalanced... Expansion chambers are good though too. It all depends on personal preferance and how you play.

Since when? Remotes are great to use epecially in woodsball when you are crawling around. They also act as an expansion chamber so you get a way to get your tank off the gun and and expansion chamber all in one.

Neither. If you're going to upgrade your air source don't waste your time like I did with the X-CHamber, go straight for the Palmers Stabalier.

get the remote...it acts as both a expansion chamber and it takes the weight off your gun..... it also makes you gun more compact by allowing you to put your gun closer to your body

14" Tear Drop
Dye stickys
32 Degrees Rear Velocity Adjuster
egg with y-board

True dat. My X-Core * stage is the only reason I don't have HPA or a Palmer Stabilizer yet.

Palmer Stabilizer is the best investment.

get the remote with sidecheck on it. cannot stress that enough.

remots are great for making you marker lighter. make sure you have a vest or harness to put the tank in. i have never gotten snagged on a tree or bush with mine so ignore people who say thay. its a great investment. like it was said above, remotes are like expansion chambers so you get that plus a lighter gun and more mobility. 2 for 1.

Yep. I agree. Unless you know you will only ever use CO2, then get a cheaper X-chamber. Go with the Palmers and leave yourself some room to upgrade, your HPA tank will follow you to your next marker.

 

As for the remote in woodsball. Who thinks that is a good idea? I think some of you are backwards and I question your playing experiences. When I played with my remote I was getting my huge tank weilding harness and remote snagged on dense brush. Putting the tank on the marker, with a drop forward, made my woodsgames better. The cover is usually smaller in woods! The field is just bigger. Save the remote and big harness for when you are on the speedfield. The cover is usually bigger obstacles that you can hide everthing behind, and you will want your marker lighter so that you may quickly poke out with grace.

edit: If your not getting snagged on brush, are you really in the "woods." If you stick to the trails, you have bigger problems.
