| ok i am going to get a nitro tank but im not sure if i need a high pressure tank or a low pressure (if it even matters) without the LPK (might be gettin that later on) so if u guys tell me some tanks that would work the best for a A-5 i would appreciate it much |

Get a crossfire 68/4500 tank. It will get you about 1000 shots and has a great built in reg with an output of about 850psi. It works great and gives you awesome consistency! I just got mine and it blows away CO2. Just make sure the top of the tank is RED. RED = high pressure output, BLUE = Low pressure output. If you don't have the LPK, then you need the RED tank. Just screw it into your gun and play!

Don't get the LP tank, even with the LPK, you won't need it since you
should be running it through a secondary regulator then. 68/4500's are my favorite size, I play front and a giant tank isn't an option for me. Also, if you want a regulator you can buy one anywhere you can get a HPA tank from. -------------

| get a high pressure tank, it will be ok once you ge the lpk, and when you dont have the lpk it will work fine because tippmanns run on high pressure. |

| Get a high pressure tank, they're more in demand and have a higher resale value. A 68/4500 is my favorite size. |

| If you shot a high end gun then go low pressure, but not on a tippmann. I have a crossfire 68/4500lp and it works great on my cocker, not my 98c even with an lp kit [im still troubleshooting it, prolly has nothing to do w/ the tank though]. |
