I'm assuming from your post that you took an expansion chamber off of a WGP marker and put it on an A5. The first bit of advice I will offer is to make sure it is an expansion chamber and not a regulator. (A pic would help us tell if you are not sure. If you can't post a pic, then be very specific about the marker it was originally on.)

Okay, just based on the fact that most Autocockers come regulator-equipped rather than expansion chamber equipped, I am leaning toward saying that is a reg.
Short version of difference between reg and x-chamber:
Now that I went over necessary background material, I'll try answer your question a little better. Putting that reg on your A5 will not damage it. However, if the reg delivers at a lower pressure than the 800 psi or so that Tippmanns need to operate you will experience problems. Most likely you will see lower velocities and possibly feeding issues from the Cyclone feed. If you are using it with CO2, you may see some of the other problems I mentioned above. You said you broke your tombstone adapter. Once you get it replaced, if you do use the reg on the A5, do not use it as a fore grip. There have been cases of damage to the body around the tombstone adapter area of the A5 from hanging heavy tanks there so this is to be avoided as well. |
