Tippmann has long been one of the most popular paintball gun makers on the market, and this company continues to produce high-quality products. There are tons of upgrades available for Tippmann paintball guns, but one of the more popular ones is a remote line. This upgrade can save your paintball gun from extra wear and tear, and it can also make your paintballing experience simpler and more fun.
Basically, most paintball guns are powered by compressed CO2. Because of how compression works, the gas is incredibly cold when it exits the tank. Over time, exposure to this much chill can cause your gun to get worn down. Although this isn’t usually a huge worry if you have a high-quality gun, it can definitely cause some serious problems for you when you’ve had your gun for a while.
A remote line runs from your CO2 tank to your gun, and it can help take some of the wear off of your gun. Plus, it can help distribute the incoming air better, which can make your shots more consistent. Besides being good for your gun, though, a remote line can be good for your game playing experience as well as your arms.
When you have your CO2 tank attached to one of your Tippmann paintball guns by a remote line, you can actually wear your tank on your back. There are special harnesses for tanks that can be used to seriously lighten the load that you’re carrying in your arms. Also, you can usually handle more weight on your back, which means that you may be able to carry a bigger tank that will last longer when you’re using a remote line and a tank that is in a harness. These are all the reasons that remote lines are popular paintball gun upgrades.
