Am I correct in that a remote line means your gun is hard-lined to a tank at all times? If so, that is a step backwards for airsoft. Being untethered is the whole point; no tanks, no hoppers, no paintball downsides. That being said, is there a way to run the "stable gases" like CO2, HPA, etc, from a tank say mounted to your back, or inside of a butt-pack? And then having a line along your side or on your hip, that just "fills" a reservoir inside of a magazine, or inside of a stock or something. So no cartridges, and no hard-line. Is it doable?

Maybe this question was answered in a round about way, but I'm not clear.

So in the clear, "one" gas supply that can be easily, neatly, and appropriately integrated into your gear, like in a molle pouche. Then running a small hose along your side, or hip to a fill nozzle. That nozzle just "fills" magazines or onboard reservoirs in the gun, and does not stay attached. All while using stable gases.

There are currently several magfed paintball brands on the market that use a 13ci hpa tank screwed in the back of the marker, there is a m4 style stock that slides over it, the tank acts as a buffer tube and you do not have to use a remote line at all.
With a setup like this, using the m4 mags you already have would be better than investing in tippmanns proprietary co2 mags.
