Years and years ago (when PGI only covered Uk stuff, Robbo was in NWC and had hair, and the Preds were the top team), I saw a picture of the Turks in a competition in what the captioner had labeled "jetpacks". Basically a wooden board with two or three tanks strapped to it leading (via an impressive array of plumbing) to a Golden Eagle.
 
one thing you are n't taking into consideration!

You have to be very careful with remote set ups , if you use Co2.
The reason is simple , on a gun mounted system , you use a anti-syphon and/or expansion chamber to stop liquid Co2. It works because the gun should always be the right way up.

BUT..With a remote system , you have a strong likley hood of drawing liquid up the hose and into the gun.
If you have an anti syphon tube in the bottle for when its stood up , if you lie down in the game , it works as a syphon tube instead , filling the hoses with liquid. Likewise if its anti syphon when lieing down , when you stand up , it'll draw liquid out of the bottle.
In either case , if you're in the wrong position for long enough , you'll eng up with a gun full of liquid Co2. Not a good thing
( unless you have a gun that prefers liquid C02 , and is set up to run like that! )
So be careful. Know what your gun likes , and make sure thats what it gets. For instance liquid in a mag is not a good thing , it'll send the velocity through the roof ( In any gun set up for vapour Co2 ) , and then the gun will just cough and splutter until you get the liquid out.

New Subject....

Someone asked about twin Co2 remotes too. Way back when , I used to run a VM68 ( A.K.A : PMI 3 , PMI Magnum , and several other name variants ). This is a big gun that has a healthy appetite for LIQUID Co2. So I used to run it with a 3 1/2oz at the front ( under barrel bottle mount ) running to a 12oz out the stock , connected to a 20oz on my back. Next to another 20oz bottle. With a few well placed on/off valves , and some good quick release connectors , anything is possible. Although thanks to a friend , I did once have 40oz of Co2 vent up my back!!! Very cooling!!:D

If you are leaving the bottle on the gun , then an anti tube is a good idea , if you're gonna go with the remote ( so the bottle will sit vertical , valve at the top ) then dont get an anti syphon.

If you run Co2 , and your gun isn't fond of liquid , then the more precautions you can put on the gun to stop liquid , the beter!;) .

Getting an on/off tap type valve will also help with the o-ring situation too. As someone said earlier , turn off the supply ( unscrew 3/4 turn or turn the tap off ) and then fire the gun until it just de-cocks by itself. Then take the bottle off , and hey presto - still a good o-ring. Also , when you put the bottle on your marker , when you screw it in and you hear the whoosh of the gas going into the gun , only turn the bottle another half turn in , dont screw it right in until it wont go any more. This will help , and you'll know that 3/4 turn out and the pin valve is not activated anymore.

Good hunting!

i think its vapour but it suffered badly when someone at sparklie filled it, i think with liquid, snowstorms, mist coming out the barrel i couldn't see half the time when i was shootin,. He said it was the weather but everyone's guns were fine. But then i might just be wrong!! I'm no expert..

My new gun, don't come with the bottle, i've sold my current marker to my m8, i can't be that tight and tell him to go buy one, so he can have my current bottle.:D
