i'm thinking of converting my A-5 to HPA, and was wondering what parts i'm gunna need, and how much it's going to cost me.
Also, what's the cheapest brand of HPA tank. My A-5 is stock concerning the internals Thanx |

Just a tank. An 800 psi ouput tank or more is all you need. Crossfire and PMI are good, cheap tanks. Can be found pretty much anywhere.

Crossfires are great tanks to get. Quick recharge rates, light, and compact.

A good tank is definitely a plus. I just recently got a 114ci/3000psi tank with adjustable regulator off of Ebay for $100. For brand new (when they get them back in stock) you can't beat ActionVillage's price on a 114ci/3000psi Crossfire for $160 + free S/H. Edited by Stormy Knight |

Makes me wonder if I should get one for mine. I thought about the low pressure kit, but wouldn't I want to take my expansion chamber off then? Would I leave the X-Chamber on for HPA or get a regulator?

You would get aregulator, HPA doesnt need an expansion chamber

At a high (like 15 or so) ROF the gun will choke due to low airflow. A good reg wont do that. |

So should I take off the x-chamber and buy a low pressure kit, tank, and regulator for my A-5... or buy a little electric speed gun so I could play tournies? Could I use the tank and regulator on both markers?

CHeapest is not always best.
Go with either a crossfire or a Pure Energy, Stay away from 3A tanks. |
