First off, you may want to post such questions as this is the "New Players Section" . With that said, I will notify a mod to have them move it.
Secondly, CO2 is in a liquid state when it is in the bottle. As it leaves the tank, it absorbs heat, changes into a gas and expands. This expansion is the pressure that runs your marker. In it's liquid form, CO2 is very cold and if not given the time to expand, will freeze things it makes contact with. Using an expansion chamber, remote line or a stabilizer such as a Palmers will provide a place for the CO2 to absorb heat and help it expand.
Not the best Mr. Wizard explanation, but hopefully it helps.

Stop yelling at us please. And the guy where you got your CO2 is a tool and apparently has no idea what he is talking about.

He told you your CO2 is too cold?? I hope he didn't mean that it was put in too cold and that he only meant the weather, or else that's like saying the ice cubes placed in my drink are "too cold". lol.
But anyway FAT HEAD (lol), I think oldpbnoob covered it pretty well. If your playing in warm weather and can't stop your gun from freezing up or getting really cold, just look into getting an expansion chamber or remote line, that should help fix the problem and their not too much money.

the faster you fire, the faster you are releasing Co2 which as oldpbnoob said absorbd heat to expand and "freezes" anything it touchs, therefore the faster you freeze the gun.
shoot slow... the gun has time to warm up and not freeze shoot fast (as with an egrip) and the gun will not be able to warm up as well after each shot |

One of the best and least expensive expansion chambers out there is the DOP X-Core 8-Stage. I have them on two of my markers and they work great!
