Co2 anti/syphone ?

[Smartpart5]

i was reading my manual to my pro/carbine and it says that anti/syphone is suppose to suck up water in my co2 tank. But on a impulse you need it suck up only air.

Actually an anti-siphon keeps (co2 in liquid state) like the impuls says and it does not suck up "Air." paintball guns use the gas state of co2, from entering the gun, on all guns

must be a misprint in the pro/carbine manual

lol, water. an a/s is a tube inside your tank that sticks up above the liquid co2 so it only sucks up the gas. Like the guy above me said, its probably a misprint.

that has got to be the most confusing explaination i've read so far.

anti siphon: anti = prevent; siphon = take in
CO2: carbon dioxide; gas or liquid state

a bent tube inside the tank which the open end inside the tank stays above the liquid inside (CO2) it sucks out the gas state of CO2; it prevents the liquid state of CO2 from entering the chambers of the marker.

suck up water? get your terms right or else people will laught at you...and I don't think there are any markers out that that operate on liquid co2...just gas co2..cuz even a tippmann's cupseal will break down due to liquid co2. As for the Anti-syphon...its sapose to "suck up" co2 gas on the top of the bottle. So...can you give me the exact quote from the manual? because I'd like to see what it really says.
