| here's my idea for the a5. since it is a reall gas hog why not have another tank? like just have one for the hopper. just put it on the side of the gun. or have a double remote sorta thing. well this is my thought and if someone makes it then post it on the site |

it doesent use extra gas because of the cyclone feed. the cyclone uses excess blowback gas to function.the gas that it uses would have gone to waste ------------- a5 polished internals flatline custom aluminum foregrip drop e grip w/custom blade trigger palmer stabalizer 71ci 4500psi dye throttle dye invisions vision impy tapeworm crossfire 88/45 EVO |

I have a twin tank A5. I run a 12 oz. on the bottomline and a 4 oz. vertical. I didn't do it because the A5 is supposedly a gas hog; I did it so I could completely empty a tank and then turn on my spare tank which prevents wasting of CO2 (yes, I'm cheap). Also, it looks kind of cool. I used one of these and some macroline with appropriate fittings: http://www.countypaintball.com/Product_Description.asp?item=1672 - http://www.countypaintball.com/Product_Description.asp?item= 1672 -------------

what would be the point of the second tank for the cyclone? It would
use just as much gas as before, just from 2 different sources... Also, how would you actuate the airflow. If you suggest using a solenoid for e-grip users, then I suggest you go back and search a post titled "Cyclone 2" ------------- http://www.anomationanodizing.com - My Site

As everyone has said before, the A-5 is not a gas hog, that is a myth made up by people who do no real research on a subject and just make unbiased assumptions and have never even used an A-5 anyway. And also, if you put a whole extra tank on the side it would make the A-5 to heavy and bulky to be very practical. -------------  Join the XP Re-Revolution!

If you don't want to use so much gas, get an expansion chamber.. helps regulate a lot -------------

The A5 is a gas hog??? Do you mean that I should be getting less than 1000 shots from my 20oz?? Crap, why didn't someone tell me!!!!................ |

^do you mean you should be getting MORE shots?? It would make the A5 heavier and bulkier making you a bigger target. The A5 isnt a gas hog like many people think. As Bugg said, just buy an expansion chamber. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

Ya think?? I regularly get about 1000 shots from my A5. I have no expansion chamber and use CO2 and shoot mostly full auto at 12bps. |
