Two guns at different PSI on one tank

[Convert]

Might be a rogue 3am idea but has anyone had any experience with hooking up two guns to one tank? Ideally I'd like to connect my rifle and pistol up at the same time. Is that lunacy?

Scare stuff about it online.

You use a two way split remote line

A two way remote line has more hose to get in the way and tangle up than a single remote line

 

You would be handling air at about 600 to 800psi, so it’s high pressure but not as scary as 3000 or 4500psi if there’s a line failure 

Treat air with respect and don’t make your own lines & fittings unless you are competent and confident with what you are doing 

 

These will technically work fine with two guns used seperately - it’s just a bit more length in the line which will take a bit more air to fill the line.

If you shoot one gun then it will refresh the line in the same time ready for the next shot 

But if you shoot two guns together then there is more line and more of a draw upon the air in that line to refresh. If that refresh takes too long for your guns in-line regulators then the guns will have difficulty and you need to slow down between shots 

 

 

The above assumes you fit the splitter to the cylinder 

If you have one regulated line for airsoft pressures and run the split after that then there will be more potential refresh problems for the guns as they are trying to refresh both from a lower pressure

Thank you for your response. Very helpful.
