What's the use of a coil remote on your paintball marker?

Question

I am trying to become acquainted with the game of paintball and would like to know what is the use of a coil remote and how is it used?

Answer 1

A coil remote connects to your gun where your Co2/HPA/nitro normally would, and then connects to your Co2/HPA/Nitro tank. It is used to keep some weight off your paintball marker and is often used in woodsball, People often wear special vests or packs that hold your tank and some extra paintball pods for ammo.

Answer 2

It simply gives you more monuverability by allowing you to attach the tank to your back

Answer 3

Most people use coil remotes to make their gun lighter. Basically you can connect your marker to a tank that's hung on your belt or any other place on your body. Most players use them during woodsball and scenario games or any other game that will last a while, mostly because people don't like to lug around a super heavy gun.
