is an x-chamber or regulator better for CO2?

I'm running co2 in my a-5 with a remote. Is an x-chamber better or a regulator?

They do different things. Expansion chambers are meant to expand CO2 while it is entering the gun and regulators regulate the air while it is coming into the gun and keep it consistent which would help with keeping your velocity/accuracy consistent.

I'd just stick with an expansion chamber since you obviously use CO2 and A-5's are not needed to be regulated because if they were, they would come standard with their own regs. Plus CO2 doesn't work too well with most aftermarket regulators.

what's a good x to get? I really don't like the look of them cause (go ahead and yell at me now) I have a mil sim. Trinity makes an ak-47 clip x-chamber, but it is really long. I'd like something with a flat black look rather than gloss.

I'm pretty sure they're all just about the same. And you might want to look into an anti-siphon tube for your CO2 tank.

ACI x chambers are supposedly really good...i don't see why the regular tippmann one wouldn't work, though...
