I'm pretty sure anything stronger than a coat hanger will support your gun.

Not macroline, but 1/8" LP hose.
It will work for a PTT fitting (push-to-connect) but it'll be a pain to use on barb fittings because it's very, very stiff hose.

Macroline is 1/4" OD. LP tuning that msot guns use (1/8" OD) is always low pressure, usually 200-psi at the very maximum, depending on the gun of course.

Macroline fittings are typically only rated to under 300-psi, that's okay. Well it might not be okay per-se, but it's what we all use...lol

if you're trying to get macroline fittings (for HPA or CO2 tank pressures) then you'll really have to get metal ones. I've never tried the plastic ones myself but I wouldn't expect them to hold.
If you're using a bottomline reg that's adjustable, you can use hte plastic ones no problem. But HP pressures might not work so good...
