all you need for hpa (high pressure air or "nitro") is the tank. thats all you need, nothing else. but i would highly reccomend removing the hyperstar bolt especialy with hpa, or it will chop so much, and your range will be very very short. -------------

| i agree about the bolt. the best bolts for tippmanns are the ones that come stock with the gun. i also would look into some other upgrades before moving to HPA. i would get a drop, R/T or E-Bolt, New hopper, and a double trigger before getting the HPA. good luck with it though. |

| Well i have a drop forward and im buyin a double from a friend for like 10. But i just got the hyper bolt so i still wanna try it out but if it doesnt work well then ill consider the old bolt. But also i wanna no of any sites with good Nitro/HPA tank prices. I was lookin for somethin maybe under 150. Thanks, Please reply back. |

Get the nitro. Who cares about a double trigger. I have had my a-5 for like 2 years. I have nitro a new barrel and remote. and its been the same for a long time just like that. I would say get nitro and maybe a remote or drop later on. Other then that i don't really see it. -------------

| go ahead and try out the bolt. its not too bad with your velocity very high, but it still looses a lot of range. for $150, you can probaly get a deal for a 68ci/4500psi tank if you shop around. |

Don't expect to get a good tank for under 150 unless it is 3000 psi ------------- http://www.imageshack.us">
