Do you have to buy a Low Pressure Kit for the A-5 in order to use Nitrogen?

No, the A-5 can use HPA or nitrogen stock, but the tank must be a high pressure tank and I would suggest no less than 800psi output (and some suggest higher), though some have been able to set it as low as 600psi with an aftermarket spring kit. Though if you have a low pressure tank you will have to buy an LPK as most of those are preset for something like 400psi output.

Edit - this is an often asked question. Don't forget to search around a little for answers too.
