Liquid co2 will cause problems in any paintball gun. It freezes the o-rings, causing excessive wear and eventually the o-rings will leak.
In am mag, ice from liquid co2 can delay the action of the on off pin or regulator causing a low velocity shot. If this occurs, just hold your fire for a second or two to allow the co2 to warm and turn to gas.
The Mag is made from stainless steel and wont itself be damaged, but it is a good idea to an o-ring parts kit around, the same as you would for any other marker.

It shouldn't permently damage the marker, just mess with performance untill the co2 gets out/warmed up.
It will weaken and eventually kill the o-rings. Having spare parts around is always good.

yes it weakens the o rings and eventually locks up the trigger to solve this prob get a vert tank, or anti siphon, or stock and remote
or to temporarly stop this point your gun in the air fire and hold the trigger down for a couple secs to let the gas warm when doing this point the gun up

wouldn;t a vert tank anti siphon stock and remote be a stay for liquid Co2? or am I reading it wrong?

Anti-syphon tank: good
Vertical adapter: good
Expansion chamber: prety good
Remote: real good
Combine and you have a pretty good setup, as long as it's not cold out. For the cost of a really good co2 setup you could have got a better Crossfire 68/3000 stub.

running remote with anti-syphon (something liek that) makes a straw for Co2

ok now draw a line threw the tank for the anti syphon. If you have the tank on your back the ainti sypon is on the bottom of the tanks, drawing up liquid Co2. Unless you have the tank upside down on your harness but I havn;'t seen that...... or am I horable horabley mistaken
