SNOW out of my gun

[fyse0]

Hey guys i have a tippman 98 custom with a bunch of stuff on it. I was playing like normal it was bout 75 degrees outside. I have a 9oz tank and a 20 oz tank.. with my 9oz everything was normal but when i ran out and put in my 20oz i noticed snowflakes (yes the fluffy white stuff) coming out my barrel.. was my tank over filled? i think what i have is an expansion chamber but maybe its just a gas thru.. whats the problem i hope not my gun (its new and i love it with lotsa upgrades)

could it be: Overfilled co2, wrong kind of tank (if so how do i check if my 9oz is the correct kind of tank)

tell me ! thx

CO2 will do that sometimes. Usually it is caused when liquid gets into the gun but can be caused when normal CO2 vapour condensates inside the valve if it gets cool due to rapid firing.

I have never heard it called 'snow', but I know what you are talking about. It was cold outside wasn't it? Well you gun got liquid CO2 in it and that what that stuff was.

well i only thought it odd cause it was 75-85 degrees outside.. (i live in AZ, snow stands out in the desert)

Dude, run around to the kids in your town and get them to pay you to see *REAL* SNOW! In the middle of the desert!!!

It sounds to me like your 20oz tank might be a anti-siphon tank acting as a siphon tank. It it is a anti-siphion tank it needs to be set-up for your gun. One way to check this is hold the gun upside down and dry fire a few rounds, If no snow than have the tank set-up for your gun.
