Ok I have a problem... Im a young noob and hadn't played paintball for a long time really. I went to put my Co2 tank in to test my gun (i had my tank filled up once I left a paintball place so I could play in the future at my home around october). Well I put it in and once I got almost to the end of screwing it in it started like spraying co2 everywhere and I backed off to let it do its thing and empty. So it emptied and now it looks to be frozen to my gun lmao. Not sure what to do, because I don't want it blowing up on me. Sorry Im a 15 year old chick. Help please.

It should be safe to unscrew the tank once it unfreezes(which could take a few days at most), you really could unscrew it now if you want, but it will be kind of cold. When you get it off look at the O-ring on the end of the tank above the threads, its probably is broken, replace it (O-rings cost like, $0.10) and you should be back in buisness.
