I have an HM1000X and a 30 minute SCBA tank. What are the pieces parts I need to run it tethered? What options/configurations are there?
Thanks!

As long as you can configure the outlet hose from your tank to a foster fitting, that is all you need. I would suggest you post a picture of your tank so we can help you.

I’d say u also need a reg between ur tank and gun.
Unless ur not planning on keeping the bottle open all the time

As already suggested, get an external regulator but I would do this. Remove the two o rings on the guns reg core (this will stop the reg working so you will get full bottle pressure. With your tether connected, use the external reg to optimise your guns velocity ( let’s say 135bar) now replace the two o rings on the original reg and set that to 135bar.
Now turn up the external reg to say 200bar, with or without the tether the gun should shoot at your set velocity.

Do want more shots? If so, you could order a 700cc carbon fiber bottle from Martin with a valve if it will fit under your moderator, just an option 
. He can also put a new carbon fiber sleeve and a unf 1/2 20 adapter so you add your own LDC of choice if you send it in....
