well i bought a tippman A-5 with the R/T trigger. I have added the flat-line barrel system and a collaspable stock. I want to convert the gun to nitro. What parts do i need. I dont play much speed ball. Also should i get the A-5 low pressure kit. anyways my next parts are going to be a remote line,and a e-grip.

all you need for nitro is the tank. i dont think the low pressure kit is worth it- you could use it on much better things.

If the LPK had an effect on gas efficiency (ie get more shots/fill) I'd say it was worth it. All it pretty much does is reduce recoil which is negligible at best. It isn't worth the the expen$se. All you need is an HPA bottle set for 850psi and you're good to go without any other parts or modifications. I have two HPA tanks for my A-5 with stock internals and it works great!

Yup. Just get a High Output tank, and you're good to go (850 psi). As for the LPK... I don't think it's worth it. Theres more important stuff to spend your $ on, with better benefits. Now the X-chamber... they do nothing for HPA. Don't waste your $. Get a Palmers Stabalizer or other Reg instead (Palmers if you plan to use Co2 also).

If you find that you get hit in the hopper quite a bit, then maybe go with the riccochet....as for the remote coil, I would reccommend getting a coiled rubber, rather than steel braided hose.  Get a slide check on it, so you dont have to reach around to your tank when you disconnect the marker.

As for the website, I would say Hotshotpaintball.com, but there are plenty others.  Shop around first.

the stock hopper isnt going to support a response trigger at all. you'll definately need a loader. the ricochet's pretty good but it wont deflect balls. the halo tsa looks pretty good.

i've had good experiences with all of them

Yea, except for the fact that he has an A-5... which means unless you rig some kind of centerfeed, you have to use the Cyclone. And if the ball hits the Rico at the right angle it will deflect off.

oh, whoops.

but i did test the ricocheting abilities of the ricochet. i put it out in a field and shot it like a million times, with different ranges, angles, and velocities- every single ball broke on it. even when they just barely clipped the side. so the chances of a ball ricocheting in a game is probably pretty rare.

Yeah... the actual reflecting capabilities of the Rico are disputable...

But I would also add my vote against the LPK because you have the RT - lowering the pressure can mess with the RT operation.  Instead, I would install the "super RT" mod to make your RT faster...

The highest your tank will output would be 800 psi to 850 psi for a high pressure tank and 300 psi to 450 psi for a low pressure tank. The 4500 psi is the pressure in the tank. Any remote line will work for CO2 or HPA.
