hey i was recently firing my marker when i noticed something strange.  I saw Co2 coming out of the screw for the velocity on my a-5.  It kinda turned white and frozen and little puffs of co2 came out each time i shot.  What is happening? please respond

head down to yor local proshop and ask for the a-5 o-ring package...ususally when there is co2 leaking out of your marker you can bet it is because of an o-ring

This is perfectly normal. It happens every single time you fire. You just noticed it now because you sucked up some liquid co2 which condenses and you can see the white cloud of vapor which is normaly invisible.

Its just blowback gas from the front bolt which vents out of the velocity screw port, as well as everywhere else it can including rear bolt, trigger, the SS line hole, and just everywhere it can.
