i am buying an expansion chamber for my a-5 because it looks way sweeter with my drop forward. WILL IT AFFECT THE WAY THE NITRO SHOOTS THROUGH MY GUN IN A GOOD OR BAD WAY???

 I'm pretty sure that it will give you some more shots. But if you have HPA then why don't you just get a regulator? I recommend the Bob Long Torpedo, those are sweet looking.

HPA with an expansion chamber will not be more efficiant at all. If you have a good expansion chamber you will encounter problems with it with HPA.

With an expansion chamber on, the compressed air can not get through the tight filter and tiny holes fast enough, and your gun will go "full auto" on you starving for air. A 2 or 4 stage chamber may be fine, but good ones over that will give you problems.

I'm going to give the typical response... get a palmer stablizer.  They work on co2 and hpa, doing a pretty good job as an expansion chamber.  They will only let in the correct amount of co2 at the given pressure they are adjusted to.

ok, maybe its just that they want to advertize everything, but take a look at the gun in the accessories section of the tippmann site. with (i guess someone on effect) holding the a-5. anyone else notice DOP 8 stage Xchamber with nitro? i personally find it odd. but as for the topic at hand, i wouldnt do it anyway, go gas through grip or a reg. 
A5, egrip, cp barrel kit, check it asa, etc

An expansion chamber only works with co2. Does nothing if you have nitro and like trigger said, can actually starve your gun of air.
