You have to remember, you are dealing with a very small diameter plastic hose. That said, the macroline you get is pressure rated for tolerances within the extremes of paintball. Most of what happens when a line blows is that the user has had the same macro on their marker for multiple years and the UV deterioration has taken a toll. Either this or the hose has released from a worn connector.

It's a very good way to customize your marker by various colors and such and is pretty reliable for 99% of tournament style play out there. I prefer braided stainless steel since I play mostly woodsball and find myself low crawling through brush and such that would pull the macro right out of the connections.

Nope, it isn't sealed up with glue. The connectors us a compression type fitting... you slide the macroline in and pull back on it. This will lift the compression collar. To remove it, just push the collar back down and pull the line out.

That said, it doesn't leak and is a very good way to get a color matched look to your marker.
