C02 is dangerous!

I couldent come up with a better topic title..

Anyways, I was inside here and decided I'd go shoot some aol cds with paintballs (which, btw, I hate aol, and forever will). So I load up the hopper, grab my imagine and c02 tank and head outside. I screwed on my c02 just fine with the bolt cocked, and everything is fine. When I'm shooting the aol cd, alot more gas is comming out and it looks like snow flakes are falling from my barral. After I unload a hopper full on the aol cd, I take the tank off. It seems the tank is screwed in very tight. So I unscrew it and wait for the usual gas to come out. ALOT of gas comes out...

So, heres my question, should I be concerned? Should I get a tank with a on/off valve? Or should I just say screw it and go HPA?

Also, think I will get a frost bite? It just went on my cloths..

co2 spraying out is normal. but your tank o-ring won't last too long. next time unscrew the tank a little bit until the pin disengages and shoot the exess gas instead of letting it come out at once when you take the tank out.

Well, if you'tr using CO2, and you shoot a lot of times straight through, then it will be like it is snowing out of the barrel, and everyting will start to sweat, that's just what CO2 does.

also.. in case you didnt do this or whatnot.. take ur co2 tank off with the valve pointing towards the sky... that way your liquid co2 isnt all bunched up around the valve when you're trying to take the tank off

I was actually unloading my old gun in the winter, CO2, and it sweat like no other, and I touched the vertical ASA, ya, kind of got a burn from the cold, so it's possible. CO2 gets very cold, even in hot weather.

Yeah, one of my friend's was leaking like whoa, and we took it to a hardware store to get it filled up, and it wouldn't work, so it was like frozen, it had ice layered on the outside...I dared him to put his tongue on it...he did, I laughed...
