thats odd, and macro isn't usally expensive

my friend with the an Autococker had a problem with his at thei scenario we where at and this guy just gave him some for free ( he cut it with sisscors so the next he played he got screwed over)

**3mag5num7** · December 31st, 02:18 PM

Well at the field I worked at everything is expensive, a typical 12V revvy would be around 80 bux...

**Boomer_Sniper** · December 31st, 04:11 PM

damn that expensive, so with everything super uber expensive I take it your discounts were worth nothin

does he have an adjustable tank? tell him to turn it down to around 750-800 psi. if not.. then try some steel braided...

Yea, the only real discount we got was free entrance lol. That about an adjustible tank, I doubt it was I mean I didn't even know the guy he was just asking me what was wrong with his macroline cuz it kept busting on him. Ok well I'm off to party, Happy New Years' all!

You do know that without any interferance anything can be made a straight line, right? It's like when you are in a plane, besides the fact that the plane is travelling much faster than a car, what makes it get to the destination faster? It does not have to follow the roads like cars do, it can go above the buildings and what-not. Piviting 90* Fittings come with near every macroline kit.

They make your marker taller and hurt your shooting stance.

For the most part, besides the fact that it is rated at a MUCH higher pressure, seeing as how the pressure was not lowered by the regultor yet.

As for macroline vs. steel braided hose:

Reliablitiy: Steel hoses will never let you down.

User Friendly-ness: Macroline is as simple as cutting and placing.

Looks: Macroline can be found in colors to match your marker.

o sorry i didn't know they have ones that piviot

invictous6 · January 4th, 05:32 PM

macro is awsome as long as you oil the o-rings, but if you dont they will start leaking.

**No1TubaPlayer** · January 4th, 06:29 PM

last i checked macro didnt have orings... but putting vaseline or dow33 on the ends of the the macro where it connects helps the collars slide out and seal.

**XLiquidX** · January 4th, 10:26 PM

why does it bust? i dont wanna buy macroline if it constantly busts (what do u mean by bust tho, comes out of the asa or something? )

and u guys say it has leaks, how often? because i want to get macroline but if it just breaks and leaks, whats the point?
why do you need to cut it with scissors? can u take a knife and wrap the macro around it and pull both ends???
last thing, how do you put macroline in? I dont have my gun yet and i didnt put my steel hose in my current gun so i have no experience with this whatsoever, sry lol
thanx -

**Cocker16** · January 4th, 10:41 PM

correction to the newb that said macro is like the 3way hoses.

3 way hoses are micro line.
Macro line is larger and more thick and more rigid.

if 3 way hoses are macro line, macroline is larger, thicker, and more rigid than what??

also , i could be wrong, but i think the newb* was asking if it was , but maybe not idk..

**pearlsea** · January 5th, 11:06 PM

Ok, last time i checked, 3way hoses are a ***** to put on. I posted that last picture for a reason. Its easy as hell to connect, all you do is slide it into the fitting.

Cake.

How the hell does it stay in the fitting then? i want macro if once it leaks i just take it out and put another one in, but i dont want it burting all the time ( what do u guys mean by bursting, i flyes out of the fitting or something? )

**Cocker16** · January 6th, 01:42 PM

Idk but some1 said atht macro line is used for the 3way but thats totaly wrong bah this is why u should always use quotes no mix ups.

um yeah thet do they are inside the fittings

**No1TubaPlayer** · January 6th, 06:57 PM

no one specified they meant fittings:-p

and to clear everything up...

macro (big in latin) line = teh bottomline hose

micro (small in latin) line = teh 3way hose
