Co2 Vs Air

hey people ......one question....what you think works best for the A5......co2 or Air?

Hey RevoXT do you hav picture of your drop and xcore I was thinking of getting a drop but I dont know if it would work as far as hoses. I was thinking macro but I am kinda scared of it with co2 

macro was horrible when i used it with co2

As Ive said many times before, HPA is a screw. Half the stuff you hear about how "horrible" co2 is is nothing more than hype. They just want your $200 for an air tank that you dont really need.

On my A5 I personally shot +-4fps over a chrono with just a crappy mid 90s Tippmann x-chamber and a 20 ounce bottle. I also emptied the entire hopper as fast as I could fire, the entire gun was covered in ice, and it didnt miss a single shot.

HPA on a Tippmann makes about as much sense as putting  Aviation fuel in your Lawn mower , It'll work , but your lawn cant tell the difference .

HPA is cheaper at your field.. are you in the twilight zone? C02 Fills at field are like 5$ Here HPA Is like 9$... I have no problems with C02.. I haven't added my X-Core yet so it'll be even better when I do, Anti-Siphon does fine I can do fully auto and NEVER freeze up, the only good thing about HPA is you could get a 72CI\4800 and get about 1,600 shots.. :-P, and QcXF pm me and I'll give you a look of it with Macroline right when I hook it up which will probly be on Friday since that's when everything comes in...The drop I am useing is the Shocktech A-5 DropForward w\ On\Off ASA, the on\off is kinda pointless since my tank has a on\off valve lol but it balances the marker VERY well... and tecumseh the only reason I can think of that your Macroline didn't work well is that you most likely didn't have anti-siphon and were rapid firing.. causeing the line to freeze and then crack... and RicWhic414, What are you talking about "Lighter" A GOOD tank which would be 68\4500 runs you about 160-200+ I'm talking Crossfire\Pure Energy... 3000 PSI is just a waste.. Why spend 160-200 when you can spend 20$, add a smart parts on\off valve 20$ and then anti-siphon it for 10$? If you really want to adjust you can get a C02 Regulator... you don't need HPA at all.

I already said everything that you said above Enos.. I forgot the part that C02 is lighter though :-\ HPA can weigh a ton.. I remember I saw a 112ci tank.. woah lol

.....as I was saying you're gun SHOULD NOT freeze if you do the cheap mods that I listed above.. mine never has, I can get up to 15bps right now and by friday I will be up to 22bps with my R\T, I'll report back then. If you REALLY want HPA.. fine, but it's not required.

3000 PSI is just a waste..

It isn't if there is nobody that can fill higher than 3000psi.  I purchased my HPA tanks around the local infrastructure.  It would be a waste to purchase a 4500psi tank if all I can get are 3000psi fills.

You must be weak... lol, either way anti-siphon with an X-Core will basically eliminate ALL liquid. Anti-Siphon does a pretty good job but under rapid fire little bits of liquid gets in... X-Core takes care of it... And no, me and my buddy use a "home-made" chrono. and we also compare fire rates to eachother guns, hince his spyder does 15bps, we put them side by side and see how well they keep up. Field is about an hour away.. I only go there when I am ready to play. If you even call Tippmann they say C02 is THE way to go it just has problems BUT you can SOLVE them and have a perfect c02 tank for only 60$. Question on speedball? They fire extremly fast. They normally have Ions\Shockers\Electras and other high-end electros which can NOT have ANY liquid hit the selonoid, that a good enough answer for you? Shootdown can be solved, my gun proves it. I'll also make a video once I install all of this new stuff into my gun...
