    Posted: 16 June 2006 at 10:42am

in the special ops magazine i saw some pics of guys with A-5's that had an "inverted" co2 adapter on it. its like someone took the co2 hook up nozzle and just flipped it around so the co2 tank would be coming out the opposit way, as in, toward or parrallel to the barrel.

I was just wondering if any of you guys knew what these were called or if they were even real lol.

On most guns you just take your adapter and turn it around.  No hassle or cost. 

On the A-5 it is a little more involved due to the shape of the ASA.  You will need a drop/aftermarket adapter of some kind, as well as the standard ASA adapter block.  Once you have a drop on your A-5, you just install it backwards.  But there is no "special" equipment involved.  It is just regular stuff installed backwards.

search up "dagger a-5". I remember somebody a little while ago made a thread about having a smaller gun. He used the inverted asa thing.

A mate of mine recently made a invert block for his A5 out of thick steel he had plasmacut, it just allows you to invert the tank with the stock A5 ASA.
It didnt cost him much as it was done off the corner of another job. It feels real well balanced and you can play really tight, the weight is centred around the cyclone and front grip... Much better than having the tank vertical. Plus it looks awesome.
People who are organised are just to lazy to look for things.
