    A ? for you airsmiths out there

    I am gonna fart around and turn two Spyder Fenix markers into a turret machine gun. I am gonna dress them up in custom made frames, simple but maybe bit decorative. I am not trying to replicate any real MG that has seen action. Its just gonna be a man portable MG that will eventually see service in a sidebyside tank I am planning. I have purchased a 3L tank (180+ c.i) that is 4500 psi rated. The output reg is putting pressure out at 800 psi. My question is of the air source. The Spyders regulators reduce the pressure to around 300psi to operate the markers. My plan is to run a remote line.

    Will one regulator be able to keep up with 2 markers shooting at ramp mode of 10.2 bps? Or would it be better to have each branch of the remote lines lead into a reg for each of the markers?

      Well, back in the ROF-wars days, players would semi-routinely push things like Dye spoolers, E-Mags and Intimidators to 20-ish BPS, with 24 not being unheard of. That was with older tanks like Crossfires and Flatlines. Modern tanks should be able to keep up roughly as well.

        I think you'll be fine as you've set it up.

          Thanks for the responses fellas. I will post more pics of the progress as I go. I have motorcycle projects and other markers to play with but this turret project has a hard deadline so it will certainly get worked more often than not.
