Newbies guide to HPA/Nitro/Compressed air

Isn't it about time to lock this thread down?

so what would it take to convert a stock a-5 to use HPA?

Wrong, you need to make a new thread so I can tell you to use the search button before starting new threads. 

Please do not bump threads of this age. If you have a question, make your own thread.

i remember Sneaky made a thread about this same topic about a year ago.  This thread has gotten much more flak, surprisingly.

I may still do that, but I really dont care to.

If I were to do it, I would not waste my time by getting things wrong. What you're trying to do is like what the American Idol contestants try to do to Simon when he tells them they can't sing: "Well I'll bet you can't sing, so what gives you the right to trash on me?" Well, sweetheart, I'm not the one making the FAQ. You are. I am not forbidden to criticize it if it is wrong. In this case, blatantly wrong. Well, honey, I'm not on American Idol, and you're not Simon. See, this is not a contest to get your attention. This entire thread is not about you, nor is it directed tword you. Sure, you have the right to post whatever you may feel like, weather it may be critisizing me, or accually helping new players, (OMG! What a novel idea!) which I am doing. Now, mind you, my original post is not 100% correct, it has errors. But, is anything perfect? Sure, I have a few minor things incorrect, but it is nothing earth shattering. Its aimed at new players, not someone with a brand new CF 4500 and a DM.   You act like I have never helped anyone before. That's all I ever did before I got sick of all the duplicate questions. Wrong is wrong. your whole deal about LP tanks and LP guns is misleading at best, and is not a minor error. Integrate (or paraphrase; that would be better) what I said in my first post into that segment, and the whole FAQ will begin to hold water.

I didnt paraphrase, but I just put that entire paragraph in. Do you want a cookie?

Nevermind

Ok guys...I think I am looking at getting a crossfire 68/4500 tank with dead on bullet dropforward (the 5.5"/2.5" one). Does this sound like an adequate combo?

Since I have no practical choice but to order online I've got a few questions.

Will the drop forward replace my stock barrel adapter, or will I mount the barrel adapter onto the drop forward? (I don't see how the latter is possible...unless I use a drop forward adapter for both the grip and the tank adapter...?)

Will the drop forward come with all the necessary screws and such?

If I need a new hose, will macro line fit into the same fittings as the stock steel braided hose?

I'm sure i'll be able to think of a few more later. I've been using Co2 forever and I dont want to screw up the transition.

Then tell me what to do, and I will fix it.
