on my tippmann 98,after about 10 shots,little ice chunks will ocme out of the cocking area,and ice will be on my barrel,velocity ajuster.
Is this normal or what is wrong with my gun?
PS-it was a hot day out.

Sounds like your marker is getting liquid CO2 in it. Do you have a reg or x-chamber installed on it? Or you might need an anti-siphon tube installed in your tank.

yeah mkings right. if your still running C02 without a expansion chamber, its normal for ice chunks to come of the cocking area after like 10 suscessive shots. The CO2 also sometimes freezes the barrel and other parts of the gun

it will happen if you don't have a xcamber but that all depends on how fast you fire

It'll also happen faster if you are shooting at a downward angle. That pumps more liquid CO2 into your system. You can either get an expansion chamber, or buy a remote coil. Both will cut down on the liquid going into the gun.
Liquid CO2 can damage the internals of your gun if you keep on shooting. It can crack seals and stuff.. it's best to take care of it A.S.A.P.
