Hi and thanks AO

Also last week my friend went out to his backyard and shot about 1000 rounds with CO2 in about 10 minutes. He put a wool sock over his tank with a couple hand warmers in there. He said it worked fine, he had pressure and he wasn't blowing any ice out the barrel. Of course with any warmers you need to be careful not to overheat CO2 and explode.

I always wondered if that would condense CO2 further down the line. Was that a tippy or mag?

Liquid can't be condensed further. Well....it can. But the "pressure vs difference in volume" graph is almost vertical. Maybe i didn't fully understand your post though.

98 custom, everyone I know still shoots tippmann, I just converted myself from an a5. I have know idea how a mag would do. I have an rt pro so I am not too interested in seeing what would happen if I ran in some CO2.

From what I know, when it is cold the CO2 just doesn't "boil" back to a gas very fast. I don't know what the actual boiling point is, I know it is way below zero Fahrenheit, but it is a matter of "boiling" fast enough when it is cold.

I do have a cheap autocoker trilogy and it is about 25 degrees today if anyone wants me to run any experiments.

I was just referring to heating the CO2 in a bottle, warmer than ambient temperature and higher than normal pressure for the ambient temperature, then chilling the vapor back down under the same pressure, seems like it should be 'wet' with some amount of liquid and gas. Maybe just condensation on the inside of the hose.

We'll have to start a thread in the tech section...

Thanks, for the space Gate.

Take care of your new mags Gate. I already miss them dearly

don't worry, they're in good loving hands, my friend who got the pewter one wanted a mag for a long time, around 1999-2000 he almost bought an X-mag but went for a shoebox Shocker instead , I never miss a chance to remind him about what a "Smart" choice he made .

As for CO2, I remember that we used to do the same thing that the friend of MKing did, a wool sock with hand warmers, results weren't as good as with HPA but we were able to at least play with lower but decents velocities.

Thanks, for the space Gate.

my pleasure :)
