| If i got a nitro tank with a preset pressure of around 800 psi would it be worth the money to buy a regulator (like a palmers stabilizer) for my a-5? Also how much of a difference would it make? |

I wouldnt worry about a reg right away! I would get a fire power upgrade such as r/t or egrip. Then a barrel first. Then you would be lighten em up ------------- GO BUCKS!!! |

yea i would worry about other things befor you start worrying about regs. If you still have the stock barrel get a new one and get a fire power upgrade , then you can worry about a reg. -------------

It would make it a little more consistant, but isnt nessasary. ------------- 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 |

i'd recomend e-grip and not r/t. r/t uses more gas and e-grip will make it lighter and have a lighter trigger pull. Also your friends probably won't call you mean names because they think the r/t is full auto. Just don't tell them you have your e-grip on turbo ------------- Impulse with: Dye Grips, Richochet AK Hopper, and Trigger Job.

Well in that case if your going to use HPA I would get a high pressure regulator and not a palmer. Palmers are best for co2 unless of course your going to use both. Then yes get the palmer. ------------- GO BUCKS!!! |
