   My A-5 with the r/t isn't exactly CO2 effecient. I love it, but my 9 oz tank just isn't lasting me long enough.

NOTE- I mainly play woodsball, and I need lots of CO2 compacity (the place where I refill is far away). I am about to start playing some more tourney paintball. I do not have a remote, so it can't be really really heavy.

Poll Question: What size CO2 tank should I use for my A-5 with r/t?

	A single 20oz. gets me through a whole day of hopperball. If it were a regular walk-on day, the 20 oz and the 9 oz, would last me the whole day easy. However, I'm not trigger happy. So, you might even want to think about two 20 oz. tanks, if you shoot alot or have an electro or response trigger.

	I have a 20oz, and I don't find it heavy at all, then again, I recently challenged Arnold to an arm wrestling comptetion.. Go with the 20oz. It should last quite awhile. And if you can, get it anti-siphoned. That will help you get a few more shots out of the tank.

	Go for the 20 oz. It might seem heavy at first but you'll soon get used to it.

	if you got the money definatly go nitro. but if r using nitrp make sure to get the biggest cubic inch tank possible. As everyone knows all tippmanns are gashogs. wen i got my first nitro tank i fell in love with it and never went back to co2 on my a5. but now it just sits in my room collecting dust cause i use my proto now =)

	It sounds like a 20 oz is the way to go for me. I don't have enough money to put towards paintball to get trigger happy, if you know what I mean. :D Edited by PB 24/7

	Go with the 20, and if the weight starts to bother you or the overall gun feels awkward, try to save up and get a remote line. Thats what plan to do after I install my rt in my procarbine.
