The c02 tanks didn't explode. The tank was just unscrewed from the valve and shot off like a rocket and hit someone in the head killing them. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |

| Hybrid showed it there. It just makes sure you gun doesn't suck up liquid CO2 and it only takes the gas. You can get gun freezups(sp) and it won't function properly. |
