I somehow twisted my steel braided hose and I was wondering if this is a
bad thing or will everything work just fine. It is on my back up gun so looks are not important just performance (as with my top gun) |

what do you mean by "twisted" like you made the braids slip or like you
put a kink in it by bending it the kink should work fine but im not so
shure bout if the braids slipped and twisted.

I guess it is a twist. It looks like if you take a string and hold it straight and
turn one hand a quarter of an inch. Nothing else happened, just haven't seen one with a twist in it, they usually are straight. Do you think it is a problem? |

If it is not leaking, it isn't frayed and it isn't restricting gas flow to the marker then don't worry about it. |

| Thanks it is not leaking, but how can I tell if it is restricting gas flow? |

You can't get the velocity up to where it needs to be or distance (velocity) drops off during rapid fire. |
