Ok Guys I tried to use the search thing there, but it came up with the server being down.  So please bear with me, Im sure yall have heard this question a million times.  I just got an A-5 and heard that they are air hogs.  I dont want to have to fill up my Co2 tank every couple games so I was thinking about going to nitro.  From what I have read here I can use Nitro with the stock gun as long as it is a high pressure tank.  Would I also need to get a regulater for the tank and if so What would be the optimum pressure to set the regulator at for the A-5 with a flatline barrel?  If anybody out there has been using an A-5 with a 20 oz Co2 bottle I would appreciate any feedback as to how often you have to refill as well.  Thanks

First unsticky this

i dont have an A5 but i can answer your question.  for your question your right you can just screw the tank in and play as long as it is a High Pressure tank. You do not need a second regulator.  A5 are known to be gas hogs becuase of the cyclone feeed system but if u get a good size HPA tank you will be fine.  sorry i dont know how ofter you would need to fill a 20 ounce

The same thing happens to me but then I press refresh and it usually does come up for wat you are searching.

  Yea, with my A-5 I have to get my 20oz filled every few (full) hoppers...   I was also wondering about using HPA on mine; I guess it can be done stock; i've been looking on a few forums for this and asked a few players, but thanks for the help that you gave to someone else that also helped me
