Yeah i have a tippman a-5, and i think it is the coolest gun. I just bought a dye xcel 14, and a hyperstar bolt. I have seen many people with the r/t, but it fires to fast, waste of paint for me, i can fire fast enough. But anything else i can do to get more accuracy out of this lil baby. I was thinking bout a reg? I just don't like how the stock barrel fires. I will post how the xcel and bolt works to fix that prob. Just give me a few suggestions.

Nitro will help. Check out the ones from Crossfire. I would suggest a 72/4500 for an A-5. This will make the gun not as long.

**dhill0413** · July 10th, 09:31 PM

or an 88/4500 stubby

the best barrel is not a boomstick lol...its a barrel kit.

if you want a good cheap barrel just get a CP or sumthign liek that.

thanks yeah i just got a new barrel and i am not putting a better one on for a while. Nitro is really expensive and i might see if i can get a cheap enough tank.

**donk3ypunch** · July 11th, 11:56 PM

go for a 68 4500

**chronic** · July 12th, 03:25 AM

Well since your newer (it sounds like sorry if Im mistaken) I would say get a small air tank... get a 45/3k tank or somthing along those lines. I would also get the A-5lp kit and a CP inline reg if you like your A-5 so much....

**donk3ypunch** · July 12th, 09:32 AM

nitro is a much better investment than a reg for an a5. u will not notice any difference that a reg makes if u have nitro. with co2 its a whole different story so if u r going nitro invest in a mid size tank and dont get a reg

Don't go nitro on your A-5. Nitro is way too over-rated on these paintball forums. Isn't 200 bucks more into paintball sort of pushing it? I think so. If you want great consistancy (sp), just go for the Palmers Male Stabilizer. Your barrel is probably good enough. What kind of paint are you using? If you're using the 30 dollar stuff from Walmart, it won't be accurate no matter what barrel you have.

wtf are you talkin about^^^^

spoken by sumoen that has never used nitro.

like i tell everyone...try nitro for a day...and you will see it is %100 worth it. Talk to anyone that owns a nitro tank...they will tell you that it is so worth it

dont give out bad information. good nitro tanks start from $75 for a 47/3000 and $200 for an 88/4500, with 10 levels in between...not all good tanks are $200, and nitro is definitely worth the investment you make.

ps prices above are for preset tanks only

**donk3ypunch** · July 12th, 12:58 PM

any carbon fiber nitro tank is a good tank but u will want one that is a little larger than a 47 ci for an a5, id go with a 68 4500 for yer a5
