| The macro itself blew out? If so, you probably have the LP macroline Get some HP stuff and it should work a little better. |

| So I assume the line itself gave out? Or did it just blow out of a fitting? |

| the line gave out. I am tempted to do it again but this time make the hose as sort as possible because last time I left about 1/4 inch I didnt need. Should I give it one more shot? |

| is it safe? I was thinking maybe it semi kinked the hose so it built up pressure. |

Hmm, Methinks in spite of all the advice to the contrary , Macro line (High pressure = 500 PSI ?) isnt what you really want , go to Palmers Pursuit and look at their steel braided lines , they make them in all sizes . ------------- SL68-II , micro honed and polished .688" bore .

its at a weird angle that steal probly wouldnt bend for its only a few degrees. I have a tourny this weekend. What if that 1000 stuff doesnt hold up? |

| I would think it would, otherwise it'd be useless. If that stuff doesnt hold up, nothing will. steele lines are just macro wrapped in steel braid so they dont get slashed/ripped. so you should be good with that macro. |

The C02 tank is not a pump, so the pressure at one end is the same as the other. Macro is very hard (if not nearly impossible) to kink completely (no airflow) |

Uh...I aired up mine and I just installed Macro.. no problems at all... if anything get that orange macroline on Action Village.. once my macro finally explodes I'm going to get it.*NOTE* the first time I macrolined it did leak the second time I installed a new hose it didn't...So try installing it again, fixed it for me! Oh yeah, here's the ornage Macroline.. it's rated up to 2,200! Trust me, it won't bust. http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/S tore/en/-/USD/DisplayProductInformation-Start;sid=SRVKauTCJP NKE6HS3hiKwu5k7FX_tj2IAV0=?ProductID=n6nAqArby%2e0AAAENbH6aR mC1 ------------- Tippmann A-5 - Shocktech Drop + On\Off - Super R\T - Q.E.V. - Red Hot Powertube - Stock - Flatline + Metadyne Shroud - R.I.S.

Doubtful, they have been out for awhile...goto Palmers Pursuit website, they should have some powerful macro that you can order online on their website.
