Freezing will be nonexistant with HPA. All you will need is a High Pressure tank and you will be good to go.

Nobody uses nitrous in thier guns. You were thinking of Nitrogen. Nitrogen will not require any different setup than HPA.

I would reccomend buying a regulator to keep your velocity more consistant.

All it requires at basic level in unscrewing the CO2 tank and replacing it with an HPA tank The output from the tank is at the same pressure as was that from the CO2 tank (the HP tank has a regulator in the neck that reduces pressure from the 3000 to 5000 psi in the tank to the 800 required by the marker. There is no freezing with HP air or nitrogen. CO2 freezes because it goes from liquid to vapor sucking up a bunch of heat in the process. The HP tank suffers from no such phenomenon.

BTW, it is Nitrogen or Nitro. Nitrous is the gas they use at the dentist's office...sometimes caled laughing gas.

Ya after that you will be fine i would suggest the WGP 50ci 3000psi N2 Tank on extremez.com.  It is a smaller tank but an awesome price and great performance.

Yes

It lowers operating pressure giving less recoil, more shots per tank, quiter, more consistancy, less breakage, etc
Unfortunately you awesome sig was to much of a resource hog on others. Thanks for understading.

Yes, no other modifications are required. Later you may want to add a regulator between the HPA tank and the marker (I like the Palmer Stabilizer). That will allow you to reduce the pressure into the marker...saves some gas and is a bit more quiet.
