LAPCO Bigshot 12''
Tippmann Expansion Chamber
Pro Team F/X Stock
LAPCO Raised Sight rail
ACI Remote line

VL Revolution
(Rocket Cock soon to come )
Strengths:
The QD, is nice to have. Also it's nice and long.
Weaknesses:
It tends to slighty tangle, but very slighty, very easy to untangle.
Review:
This is VERY handy when you have a big 16 or 20oz tank. It also has the QD which is handy when you want to unscrew something or fix something. Very sturdy, dosent feel like it's going to fall off the gun or break. It does what it's supposed to do. FYI, don't take the line from the gun using the QD when there is an un-empty tank on it, it will all come out the end and freeze it. Maybe blow your oring out also.
Conclusion:
This remote does what it's supposed to do, nothing more or less. It wont say "I love you" on command and it wont break.
As far as remotes go this is my first. Looked for one people thought was decent off this site and this is what i chose.
Marker Setup:
Impulse
Strengths:
Strong, long, ease of use. What else is there its a remote
Weaknesses:
nothing.
Review:
Looking for a remote? You just found yours. Its good quality, long, and does what its made to do. Take that bulky tank off your gun. One of the first things i did when i got it was hooked everything up and got on the prone position, absolutly no tug from the remote at all. Im 5' 11'' to give you an idea of how long this is. So if your worried it will restrain you in any way it wont. The only time the remote feels like its pulling the gun back is when you outstrech both arms with your marker way in front of you, but even then its not really anything more than a tug. If you want a remote get this you wont be disappointed.
Conclusion:
Want to run a remote set up, get this, its that simple.

Review:
I don't like the whole concept of a remote line, but this is as good as they get. If you want to move the gun from one side of your body to the other, you have to bring it around your back. Also, the line was quite loose on me, but then again, I'm much smaller than most players. I thought that the quick disconnect would seal itself off, so I pulled it off while it was still connected to the tank and it drained all of my gas. I wasn't thinking, but just a word of warning. I wouldn't suggest a remote because the tank was more trouble on my waist than it was directly on my gun. However if you want one, go with the ACI HPA Coil Remote.
Conclusion:
Not sure if the quick disconnect is worth the money, but great quality. The best I've seen.

Review:
beautiful remote. once i got it, i took off the male quick disconnect end off the ASA piece and screwed it right into my expansion chamber. so all i have to go is plug in my remote, connect it, push the slide check forward and your set!, and to take it off, just pull the slide check back and disconnect. i would reccomend buying 2 male disconnect pieces if you chose a setup like mine without the bottomline on your gun. otherwise, this this is great, its like im shooting compressed air, it sucks up little water, and my expansion chamber takes care of the rest! and for only 30 bucks it is defidently well worth it! ACI makes by far the best air accesories.
Conclusion:
if you are a front player, even a back player, i reccomend you get this. it takes the weight off your trigger hand and off your gun. and you dont have a huge tank in the way. i love this thing!
Very, very durable. I stretched mine out to as far as I
could and it returned to it's original state. It stays nice
and tight against your body when you play with it so it
won't get caught on anything.
Weaknesses:
Sometimes its too short. If you're lying down on your
stomach and need to bring the gun up right by your head to
aim and fire, it'll feel like you're tugging on it just to
keep the gun where it is. It can get annoying after a while
because you can't just put your gun down when a coiled
remote is hooked up to it so you have to de-gas it, put the
gun down, do what you need to do, and then gas it up again.
That problem is simply solved by buying the ACI quick
disconnect with slide check which keeps the air in the
remote line when you use the slide check. I switched back
to an on-gun setup after several months.
Conclusion:
I'd recommend this to anyone, but if you're gonna use a
remote, buy a gas through stock, it'll improve your aim
dramatically. A really nice and durable remote.
Magic gas tank that goes on you gun but you cant feel it
Marker Setup:
Piranha Ext Pro- uped spring set, remote coil, and 16in J&J Ceramic Barrel
Strengths:
Long, coiled, doesnt waist anything
Weaknesses:
Gets caught sometimes
Review:
Ok i got this because i was tired of my gun being weighed down with a co2 tank. My gun is very light and that just wansnt doin it justice. THis solved the problem. Once in a while it will get caught in my harness and that gets annoying, but its realy not a problem. The Gas goes in with out that co2 shooting out a little when you jam in in the back of a gun. The instructions it comes with sucks so i didnt push the tube into the adapter tight enough and gas shot everywhere, just make sure you shove that tube in the adapter hard enough. The only bad thing about this thing is the temptation to shoot blind shots which will get you DQed.
Conclusion:
Awesome, makes my gun very light. 9 out of 10 cuz its not perfect and gets caught, i cant see how that could be avoided though. Also the instuructions suck but its prety self explanitory, male pice goes in gun, tube goes in quick release, and other tube end goes in addapter thing. Just push um in hard enough. Buy this if you have a light gun!!!

hard to remember which way is the off and which way is the on
Review:
The only weakness was I was too forgetful to to remeber which way to turn the on off valve, and I burst about 5 O'rings while using it over the oast few months. Other than that, it served my Avant and my inferno well, I havent used it on my TES yet.
Conclusion:
If you want a remote, here you go, buy this it will never fail you and it works like a charm
+Great lenght
+ Quick disconnect
+Durable
+Good Price for the quality of this product
ACI
Weaknesses:
- Mine come with the oring of the Valve who go on the bottle stuck, with a few drops of oil and some work hes moving now. But i guess i was badlucky because my friends one was fine. Be aware that you must dont screw the valve in all the way because you will block the airflow with the pin of the valve hehe , thus replacing the pin of your bottle but thats not really a bad point just an advice. Last, i wish they made so kind of blocker on the valve so it stay on the assembly when you unscrew it, because you can loose it if you move around a lot with the valve unscrewed.
Conclusion:
65$ CAN here in quebec canada, thats a good price, Works well unload a lot of weight on your gun, i love it!
