Basically when i fire my Imp (on Co2) quickly and consistantly both the bottle and the regulator start freezing over. Is very annoying considering i holdmy reg and have the bottle pressed against my arm when playing. Any ideas why the thing keeps freezing?Im problerbly being really dense and its a stupid problem but its really annoying. Any ideas???

I thought we established last time we played that your syphon tube was miss aligned causing your gun to draw some liquid Co2 when you fired rapidly. it sould be flush with the right hand side of your gun, if it dopesn't fit and you already have an o-ring in there, try taking it out and it might align properly then.... if it doesn't go to a plumming shop or something and get the right width.
Good luck anyways ;)

P.s stop whinging about your cold hands... ypu wear gloves son't you?:D

"ypu wear gloves son't???????" Type properly man!!!!
I wear very thin gloves but whats annoying is the bottle against my arms, coz i dont wear arm pads. Like some other wuss's.

Peace out

Even if you've got your anti-siphon set up correctly, if your firing fast for long periods you'll still freeze up. The liquid is taking heat from around it to warm up, this makes the bottle and reg very cold.

After an anti-siphon the only way to stop it is to stop firing, and let your set up warm up. The other option is to get an air system, I'm assuming that you have a vertical reg (because you said you held onto it). So your impulse is nicely set up for air, just get a nitro-duck (or another screw-in system) or if you have the cash a mounted system. Then you'll never have to worry about having your hands stuck to your marker ever again.
