    Posted: 07 July 2005 at 11:19pm
Ya I am upgrading to compressed air for my tippmann a-5 since this I believe is the only upgrade left for it. I'm not sure what size to get and stuff for my paintball gun. I think i'll need two compressed air tanks so I can play all day woodsball with my friends not at a park, because I don't want a huge one that is hard to move around. I usually shoot on average 800 to 1000 paintballs when I go paintballing give me a size and how much it is for it. my tippmann a-5 has a flatline barrel, response trigger, double trigger, eyes wide open red dot scope, pro seal front bolt by dead on, and I don't have a stock for it because I don't like them and if I needed I just use the tank. help me out and if there is more upgrades for my gun let me know.

You just need a preset high pressure output tank. I wouldn't suggest getting two tanks unless you are made of money though. They are too pricey to begin with. I think a 68ci 4500psi tank would be good for about 800-1000 shots.

A tippmann a-5 is the roughest on air meaning it uses more than other guns because of the air feeder. I'm 16 years old what else can I spend money on :P

Get a palmers stabalizer. It is the best regulator for both co2 and HPA. You will notice a big difference when you get it.

Puh, I have two 68/4500's. They were worth the money.

Anyway, you say you only shoot 800 to 1000 balls per outing. I say get like a 72 to maybe an 88 ci 4500 psi tank, high output, preferably Carbon Fiber or Fiberglass. This tank will give you more than enough shots, without having to carry around two smaller tanks.

And get a regulator like they said.
