      the valve recharges way too fast for CO2 to change from a liquid to a gas, resulting in freezing the valve

          but doesn't that happen in the regular valves to ( freezing the valve)? what if you had a real good reg or expansion chamber and a remote to give the liquid more time to expand.

            If the co2 does get into the valve the retro will freeze over, blow off, and drop off... Even with those countermeasures the retro will screw up and drop off...

              The ReTro valve/RT valve cycles so fast that it actually heats up the gas. If you use CO2 it will heat it up and turn it into liquid, then it will freeze over, then orings break, then you just messed up your gun because it automatically turns liquid inside the valve. You can't use an expamsion chamber because if you heat up CO2 it turns into liquid, therefore no matter how good an antisiphon tank/expansion chamber you have, CO2 still turns to liquid when it heats up.

              ENDO!

                ok i got it now thanks guys

                major damage- i don't think that it heats it up to a liquid that doesn't really make sense.

                    Doesn't heat make things more gassy? That's how it goes in my physics book...
