| i think that nitro is one of the best things you can get for your gun, even if you dont have low pressure sys. nitro will be 100x better than co2. When i used to have a 98c i ran nitro for about a year without the low pressure system and it worked fine and it was the best thing i got for my gun, plus if you switch guns the tank will still be good to go with you. |

| And it's not "nitros". It's HPA or Compressed Air. Or Nitrogen. But "nitros" implies other things. |

If I were you then I would get compressed air. Because I'm pretty sure it's cheaper to fill too and it's alot more consisitant, and it's low pressure which makes your gun quieter. ------------- TIPPMANN 98 CUSTOM 14" Progressive barrel 32* Black gel grips BT-16 Double trigger Pen Spring Mod X-core Expansion Chamber Vertical Adapter |

| So since I have an A-5, would nitrogen work better with the comp-air system? |

Thats debatable. Just get the High Pressure tank and see how it performs. If you want, you can buy the LP kit later. |

Actually... I don't think that you can really say "Nitrogen" because. A HPA tank is a compressed air tank. All HPA is is compressed air. Nitrogen is a gas comonly confused with in the paintball world to be the same as compressed air or HPA. So "HPA" and "Compressed Air" are the same thing but... "Nitrogen" is a gas. Not the same as HPA or Compressed Air. ------------- **MY SETUP!** WGP 04 ProStock Autococker Worrblade Delrin Bolt **SOON TO COME** Nexus Ram & QEV's CP Shorty Reg CP On/Off & Rail System And some other cool stuff!! |

Darn.... I thought this was going to be a question on whether or not nitrous could be used in a fiber wrapped PB tank. Several of us are thinking about doing nitrous on our snowmobiles and I'm wanting to use a PB tank for the nitrous. |

^ Okay. Nitrogen dosen't work in a HPA paintball tank. A Paintball tank is designed to hold HPA or compressed air. (Same thing.) Paintball tanks don't actually hold "Nitrogen". ------------- **MY SETUP!** WGP 04 ProStock Autococker Worrblade Delrin Bolt **SOON TO COME** Nexus Ram & QEV's CP Shorty Reg CP On/Off & Rail System And some other cool stuff!! |

^ Yeah for a snowmobile. And no you can't use a Paintball Tank for that. ------------- **MY SETUP!** WGP 04 ProStock Autococker Worrblade Delrin Bolt **SOON TO COME** Nexus Ram & QEV's CP Shorty Reg CP On/Off & Rail System And some other cool stuff!! |

Well shucks dude. I can't believe that you consider me so ignorant. I am well aware that it is not "nitrogen" that is actually in the tank. That is just another name for HPA. Given that the topic starter called HPA "nitrous" indicates that he needs all the help he can get on this subject. And that is why I gave him all the names of the same thing that I could come up with. So don't push your lecture on me. |
