I was thinking about getting a nitro tank for my A-5 and was wondering if I would also have to get the Low Pressure kit for it too.  I dont wanna spend alot of money on my gun.  I know that the tanks can get quite pricey, so I've been looking at the 3A Steel Nitro tanks.  But I'm not sure if it would work on my gun effecirntly and effectivly. 

The nitro tanks are measured in Cubic Inches (CI).  I was wonder about how many shot you get off a 47 ci 3000 psi tank, and what size CO2 tank is it comparable to?

The designation of 3000psi or 4500psi refers to the capacity of your tank. The more pressure you can fill it with, the more shots it can deliver. For example 3000psi tanks can deliver about 10 shots for every cubic inch and 4500psi 15 per cubic inch.
3000psi
68ci = 680 shots,
47ci = 470 shots,
88ci = 880 shots,
114ci = 1140 shots.
4500psi
68ci = 1020 shots,
88ci = 1320 shots,
114ci = 1720 shots.


these are estimates. You won't need anything to run hp on the A-5. I would suggest either pure energy fiber wrapped or crossfire though. Im not too sure aboput 3A tanks.

Also, i suggest getting a rear velocity adjuster, helps to save air.

I've looked at quite a few Nitro tanks and I've come across this term "rehydro" and I'm not sure what it means.  How much money does it cost to get a "rehydro" test done on one of these tanks?

actually I'm 17...not 9 and I pay for all my equipment on my own...my parents dont give me any money.  Unlike the stupid little rich kids that their parents buy them autocockers and intimidators. 

 

I am only trying to gain some knowledge about a nitro tank.  I had no idea that you were such pricks here that you can even simply answer a question no matter how many times it's been asked...if you dont like the question...DONT RESPOND TO IT!!!
