On/Off ASA's and Drop Forward's
The way your tank connects to your marker significantly impacts both the ergonomics and the lifespan of your equipment. At Pittsburgh Paintball Supply, we carry a variety of air system accessories designed to give you more control over your setup. Whether you are looking to make gassing up your marker easier or you want to shift the weight of your tank for better balance, we have the hardware to customize your air flow.
On/Off ASA Adapters A standard "gas-through" ASA (Air Source Adapter) can put significant strain on your tank's o-rings and the marker's internal seals when you screw the tank in under pressure. Our selection of On/Off ASAs solves this by allowing you to fully attach your tank before engaging the air. With a simple turn of a knob or the flip of a lever, you can pressurize your marker or bleed the air out instantly. This not only makes it safer to remove your tank but also prevents the "hissing" leaks and shredded o-rings common with basic adapters.
Drop Forwards and Rail Mounts For players who find their tank makes the marker feel too long or "back-heavy," a drop forward is the perfect solution. These mounts relocate the ASA downward and forward, bringing the tank closer to your body. This creates a much more compact profile, making it easier to "tuck in" behind bunkers and improving the overall balance of the marker during high-speed play. We stock various lengths and angles, ranging from subtle rails that slightly shift the tank to aggressive drops for a classic, compact look.
