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.

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.

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 Smile
