Remote for Tippman A5

[ctftwo]

I'm going to upgrade my A5 w/ a remote air supply system but I've no experience with this set up. What would any of you recommend.

ur gonna need a pod pack that harnesses one...and all it is a quick release valva from the back of ur gun...jst make sure ur twist the knob thats connected to the tank till it turns on...and then wen ur gonna take the remote off...turn the valve off...then degas ur gun then disconnect it from ur gun...

well i switched to a remote for about a months worth of playing found i didnt like it so i ended up sticking my hpa bottle back on my a5. thats just my 2c but if you want to do it i would say go with a coiled remote line that has a slide check that way you can disconnect it from the marker with out having to turn off the tank the slide check also degases your marker. also get one thats got cloth cover or buy one seperately it helps with keeping the line from tangling, twisting and from getting caught up in the bushes in the woods

I played with a remote and a gas through stock for awhile, but i find that I much prefer air mounted on the gun. If you find the gun to be VERY heavy or you cant hold it up for long periods of time (IE scenario) this would be a good possible set up for you (w/ a remote)

Ditto. I played without a quick disconnect and without a hose cover for a while. I finally broke down and got those and I am kicking myself for not having those from the get-go
