I was just messing around with my A-5 with R/T shooting dry and it emptied a 20 oz. in like 5 mins or less. Is this bad? ------------- Tippman A-5: R/T Freak Jr. Kit Coming: 68/3000 Crossfire D.O.P. Bullet Drop Originally posted by Tae Kwon Doe- "Good Kids" dont carry around .357's. |

Its not necessarily bad, its just that you haven't done anything to maximize the co2's efficiency, like adding a regulator, etc. I don't know if you read http://tippmann.com/players/forum/wwf77a/forum_posts.asp?TID=61929&PN=1 - this yet, but if you haven't, that thread probably has all the answers you'll need. ------------- M98 Custom- -14" Progressive -GTA X-Chamber -Rocket Cock |

Would a 68/4500 HPA tank give me some more shots and more consistancy. ------------- Tippman A-5: R/T Freak Jr. Kit Coming: 68/3000 Crossfire D.O.P. Bullet Drop Originally posted by Tae Kwon Doe- "Good Kids" dont carry around .357's. |

so you shot a ton of liquid through your gun. Ypu that sounds baout normal then to go through it that quick. Go with an anti-syphon tube, expansion chamber, or remote line. ------------- http://www.anomationanodizing.com - My Site

You were probaly pointing you gun down and cycling strait liquid. You probalt took away a half oz a shot. 1oz= about 50 shots, you shot all the potential air up. -------------
