PCP Rifle air tank mounting

[crh1209]

Hello all, I am still very new to PCP rifles and was curious, can you set up your rifle with a remote tank like a paintball gun? I got a Gauntlet 30 and was wondering if instead of leaving the tank on the front if I could belt mount it and run a 400-bar hose from it to the rifle?

Thank you for your concern however I am not one to ignore people with experience and attempt ill-advised endeavors especially if it can potentially be dangerous. And as far as paintball equipment not being as high pressure that is in fact incorrect. If you should be interested in what I mean look at this https://a.co/d/iS3KUzg

I am familiar with 4500 psi capable paintball regs, as I use them on my bottle builds - I was referring to the OUTPUT PRESSURES of paintball intended regs, which are usually no greater than 850 psi - I'm not incorrect about a damn thing - if you're walking around with a tethered AIR RIFLE with a reg with say a 2000 psi output, if the tether God forbid looses integrity/gets snagged/uncoupled, you are TOAST - that tether has the ability to cut your throat or cause very serious injury before you have time to react. Not into stupid debates, or playing GOTCHA -

read the specs dude -
