I was demonstrating the speed of the gun in my sig and walking my trigger while dryfiring.  I got up to about 12 bps and then it got really slow and then started shooting gas out of everywhere possible everytime I fired.  I wasnt holding the gun down and it was only walking for like 5/10 secs.  Then in the next game I was up against some pretty tough competition with Angels, Protos, Dm5s etc. and I was having a walking/snapshooting war with a guy with a Proto and we nailed (gogged) each other at the same time after 20/30 shots each and several 2/3 second bursts of 12/13 bps on my trigger and I had no problems with it.  Is my gun still okay to use?  Im worried it may like xplode if it gets too much liquid and freeze and die!

My guns name is Mr. Max in remembrance of my dog that got hit by a car: Tippmann A-5
Ricochet R-5
JCS double Trigger
Tippmann E-Grip
Flatline Barrel

Do you have the need for speed?

The gun wont explode or anything. It's just hard on the O-rings and the internals in general.

Like Hella said, buy HPA.

Ya Im trying to get HPA but is my gun okay for now if its not leaking.  I guess it iscause it shoots good.  An expansion chamber would solve the problem and so would A/S right?

Take it apart and lube/inspect your o-rings. If its not leaking now it
should be fine, but if it does start leaking you may have damaged some
o-rings and just need to replace them.

HPA would solve this problem. If your stuck with CO2, a number of
things will help reduce freezing:

expansion chamber
anti-siphon
remote
palmer's stabilizer regulator
