Most HPA tanks run at about 800-850 PSI.

no problems at all. C02 runs around 700-1100 psi Normally. Where a HPA tank will give you a constant 800psi output, your prolite will need no parts/upgrades to run off HPA, and your o-rings will thank you.  -------------

just a simple plug and play, unscrew your CO2 and screw on the HPA tank. No modifications involved.  ------------- A5 Rfs Dwg triggr Ricochet R5 8"Lapco Bigsht/14"CP Classic Palmers Stab.

Yes, you can just screw in a compressed air tank. No upgrades or extra regulators are needed (compressed air tanks come with their own regulator). Some compressed air tanks come in standard, high and/or low pressure output versions. You should use standard or high pressure output tanks - low pressure outputs may not provide enough pressure to recock your gun. X Fire

As stated before you dont need anything for the upgrade, but the upgrade will let you use macroline. Its a nice thing to upgrade to because ite very easy to remove the line, and it is alot more flexible than the regualar line. Cheap as well
