    remote vs on gun setup

    This might be a dumb question but im going to ask it any way ;p if you run a shp tank would running it on gun vs remote line make a difference of the input once it gets to the valve?

    I don't think so. If you had an accurate gauge, you could put it on the tank to check the output pressure, then at the remote to see.

    No. The output of the reg isn't gonna change. You will lose a small number of shots because you're increasing the volume of air. Wouldn't be enough that you would probably notice though. Unless you're using a firehose for a remote.

    technically yes, during flow there would be a pressure loss.

    it will not be enough to cause problems, or for you to even notice.

    The pressure won't be noticed but the flow rate will be affected when using a remote line. A higher pressure SHP tank will be better than a lower or normal (800psi) pressure tank, because a higher pressure at the input helps push the air through the line such that the end result at the valve is still better than when using a lower pressure tank. But, the remote will still negatively affect the recharge rate and reactivity of a mag valve when compared to a bottle that is fed directly to the valve.
    Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.
