a5 r/t with co2 and compress air

A nitro tank puts out very consistent pressure, at 750-850 psi, depending on the tank.  A CO2 tank puts out 1100+ psi when full, significantly less when almost empty.

The higher pressure from a full CO2 tank allows the RT to shoot faster than a nitro tank.  The nitro tank has the major advantages, however, of maintaining pressure and not causing freeze.

So it may take some tweaking to get your RT shooting as fast as it was, but IMO it is worth the effort.

You will want to implement the straw mod and super RT mod, and perhaps remove your trigger spring, and whatever other mods you come across.  You also want to use a tank that puts out 850 or more, rather than 750 or 800 psi tank.  Most tanks simply say "high output", so you may need to check the tank carefully.

Good luck.

thanks all for the information, other than getting bigger hose from
tippmann what else can i do?  Dont really like to remove the trigger spring as i like the hard solid feel.

Also I would like to know what these numbers mean on the tank (empire hpa)

dot-e 10915-4500
tc-su5134-310
ej102729
luxfer
p11f-20
8 05 (is this mean the tank was hydro tested on Aug 05 and i can use it till Aug 2010?)
ree 15
thanks!

 The only # you really have to worry about is the 8 05. Like you said, it's the Hydro date, and yes, you'll have to get it Re-Hydroes in 8-10.

   The main thing that I'd suggest that you do it polish your internals. To do this, you just need some Steel Wool (preferbly #000), then just polish (rub) wheres theres moving parts, until it's a shiny silver.

   You can also do the Straw Mod. All you do is take the straw from a Capri Sun, and put it over the pin that the front of the sear rests on (cut to length). You can also wrap tape around it.

thanks all for the helpful info!
