My paintball marker gets so cold when it shoots co2, that it is starting to shoot ice (snow)? What can I do to fix that

use the search my friend. Its very common. The deal is that the co2 is still in liquid form when it gets into your marker, so when you fire it gets expelled into the air, causing it to turn into the soid form of co2, aka: dry ice. Buy yourself an expansion chamber if nothing else, it will give the co2 time to turn into a gas before it goes through the gun. Not only will this eleminate the frost effect but it will also increase effeciency, consistancy, and the life of your guns seals.

^^^ do that or get a hpa or anti siphon tube.

If you are serious about paintball you could look into an air system, which is around 60 dollars for a non carbon wrapped and that would elimanate your problem. Its more effecient and isnt cold

I would just start saving up for hpa and wait around and get it. IF not antisiphon your tank and get an expansion chamber. The gun will work alot better. If you are playing in cold weather that will be some of your problem too.

if he's shooting a tippy or something low end hpa isn't in the budget. On the same note it is often tough to get access to scuba tanks to refill hpa tanks.

You could do any of the above to get rid of it, but it is completely harmless and normal. Mine used to do the same thing on cold days.
