| Just a tank. An 800 psi ouput tank or more is all you need. Crossfire and PMI are good, cheap tanks. Can be found pretty much anywhere. |

Crossfires are great tanks to get. Quick recharge rates, light, and compact. ------------- TK by PB4MS.COM |

A good tank is definitely a plus. I just recently got a 114ci/3000psi tank with adjustable regulator off of Ebay for $100. For brand new (when they get them back in stock) you can't beat ActionVillage's price on a 114ci/3000psi Crossfire for $160 + free S/H. http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/DisplayProductInformation-Start;sid=N7es-R9femeshl3KIYRsURX5iBjV8IRdWSQ=?ProductID=pgSsFAY7_%2esAAAD3x2elA_2t - http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/S tore/en/-/USD/DisplayProductInformation-Start;sid=N7es-R9fem eshl3KIYRsURX5iBjV8IRdWSQ=?ProductID=pgSsFAY7_%2esAAAD3x2elA _2t ------------- A-5 Armson DOT Sight Armson Raised Sightrail DOP Bullet Drop DOP RVA DOP X-Core DOP Vertical Adapter E-Grip(APE) Flatline Barrel HPA JCS Duel Trigger Lightening Bolt QEPH Vortex Mod |

Makes me wonder if I should get one for mine. I thought about the low pressure kit, but wouldn't I want to take my expansion chamber off then? Would I leave the X-Chamber on for HPA or get a regulator? ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |

You would get aregulator, HPA doesnt need an expansion chamber ------------- I eat paintballs and drink CO2 for breakfast. www.outdoor-forums.com/mattpace |

At a high (like 15 or so) ROF the gun will choke due to low airflow. A good reg wont do that. |

So should I take off the x-chamber and buy a low pressure kit, tank, and regulator for my A-5... or buy a little electric speed gun so I could play tournies? Could I use the tank and regulator on both markers? ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |

CHeapest is not always best.
Go with either a crossfire or a Pure Energy, Stay away from 3A tanks. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |
