hey i thot it would be a better idea to have a small lightweight gun that would be like a sidearm. just a cheap 1, easy to carry on ur back but then when i tried it and put the air n hopper on it took 2 long. i dont wanna go 2 the pistols cuz they all have so small clips, so i thought a small litegun that is electronic would be better(more ammo(hopper) and it would be faster) but like i said its too large with the air n hopper so i put hte hopper in my pocket and made a lid 4 it so i can take the lid off and put it on the gun fast, but putting on hte tank takes too long... i figure htat if somebody made a quick realease and connect remoteline. then i could just keep the smaller gun on my back, hopper in a pocket and have a 9oz tank in 1 of my pod packs,  so i was wondering if their is such a product made, and by who, and where to get it. if not id like 2 no how 2 submit this idea to some paintball companies....

wouldnt it be better to carry another pod o paint for your main marker than carry a whole other marker on your back? a whole other marker would be bulky and get in the way of your movement IMO. i think the only way to carry a second marker, that is even remotley practical, would be to go the pistol route. and at that they do have a small mag and the transition would take longer than just dumping a pod from your pack. but i might have totally missed the point of your post lol.

ok 2 simplify it i have 1 smaller lighter gun on my back, and want to keep it light so it is easy to carry. it is not easy to carry tho with a tank on it already, so i thought that if u had a quick release remote line u could take it off ur main gun and put it on the other gun quickly. it would be faster than having 2 unscrew the whole thing...sorry 4 the spelling, spend 2 much time on msn...

as some people have said, carrying another pod would be easier. i really dont see why you would want to carry a whole 'nother gun.

if its you running out of air then get a 9oz and out it in your pocket. but if its the paint then carry an extra pod in each pocket.

^^^^you can carry an objective? which is not a tangible object itself but an abstract concept which is to be "carried out"/completed through tasks?

and as everyone else has said, if you take care of the gun you already have and carry enough extra paint, you shouldn't need a whole other gun with you.

if I was to have a side arm I would just buy one of the small 40-50$ semi-auto paint pistols that run on 12-grams.

I would just make a leg holster and keep the pistol there.

 

but thats if I ever became a fan of pistols. personally I find the chances of having your gun totally brake down highly unlikely. and even if it does, what are the chances you are actually gonna be able to do anything with only a pistol?
