I was just messing around with my A-5 with R/T shooting dry and it emptied a 20 oz. in like 5 mins or less. Is this bad?

Its not necessarily bad, its just that you haven't done anything to maximize the co2's efficiency, like adding a regulator, etc.

I don't know if you read this yet, but if you haven't, that thread probably has all the answers you'll need.

Would a 68/4500 HPA tank give me some more shots and more consistancy.

so you shot a ton of liquid through your gun. Ypu that sounds baout normal then to go through it that quick.

Go with an anti-syphon tube, expansion chamber, or remote line.

You were probaly pointing you gun down and cycling strait liquid. You probalt took away a half oz a shot. 1oz= about 50 shots, you shot all the potential air up.
