HPA slower than CO2 on my A5??

Have you tried adusting your VA?

Are you using a high output tank? or a low output?

ok do both Nitrogen tanks do this?

ok look at your air american tank..at the part where it screws into your markers asa..is it blue or red?

hmmm is there any blue or red?

hmm are your tanks full? what do your tanks gauges say?

well I dunno what to tell you...either the tanks are low pressure..(tippmanns can only take high output) or there is something wrong inside of the A-5..heres my advice to you..take your marker apart and clean it and make sure all of the parts are there and try it again..if you still have the problem then take it toyour local shop and they will figure it out...sorry I couldnt help you out anymore but I'm completely stumped on this one..

well try cleaning your marker first before taking it to the shop like I said earlier...it would be a shame to find out that was the problem and your now being charged for the repairs..

This is a common problem with A-5's on HPA. The Problem Results from the fact that High Output HPA tanks have an Output or between 700-800psi, wheras CO2 tanks can hve higher outputs upto 1100psi thus giving you a higher velocity. The easiest way to fix this is to Get a Maddmann Spring Kit, or a RVA. Either of these will give you enough spring pressure on the valve to open it enough to give you a higher velocity.
