holy crap, you were born in 1990? im sorry, i just feel really old right now.:rolleyes:

CO2 will freeze the valve on fast strings, if that is what is happening to your gun.

If you take the proper precautions, you can shoot CO2 just fine.

People forget that Mags ran on CO2 for YEARS before Nitro.

An expansion chamber, palmer reg, remote line or anti-siphon tank will all help. Combos of these will help too.

Unless something is wrong, I doubt its teh valve, So its safe to blame CO2(usually is).

Run an expansion chamber or something along hte lines of what dayspring suggested.

How long have you been shooting your Mag? You may just need to learn the trigger a little better. I have had my classic valve up to 15bps with an AutoResponce frame on Co2 and only see 10-15fps shootdown over a crono. With full triggerpulls you wont usaly see the shootdown untill 10+bps and then only on a crono. I would check your Reg seat, if its dirty/worn it will cause shoot down.

By the way a was useing a anti-siphon and X-chamber on my mag when I did the 15bps (I have a .WAV file of the sound clip I used to figure the BPS rate)
