Say you are using CO2 on your RT. CO2 is known to sometmes stay as a liquid. What if your RT started to shoot liguid CO2? Wouldn't this severly damage your RT?

i havent heard any bad stories about it messing up, but it couldnt be good for it... you should think about getting a expansion chamber or possibly a palmer stabilizer or if you have a lot of extra money go for low pressure

a anti siphon tube would be a good envestment too

My friend has an A-5 with an RT, and when he got it installed, the guy at the pro-shop dry fired a lot of CO2 through it, and then we all took turns firing it in the store, until we had used up an entire 9oz CO2 bottle. Needless to say, if someone tried to lick the marker, their tongue would have adhered to it.
From the bottomline to the end of the barrel, it was practically frozen. However, everything was performing fine, and when I asked the pro-shop owner if it was a bad thing to fire CO2 through it like that, he sorta scoffed, and said it was perfectly fine.

So I guess it really shouldn't be a bad thing, although getting an anti-siphon/remote and/or regulator couldn't hurt.
