Might want to check your reading comprehension skills there. The quote you took from me was out of context. Thanks for parroting everything I said, though. It backs up my statement.

surely this guy doesn't know what he's talking about WE co2 mags and co2 in general.

First, WE CO2 mags are charged with a 12g powerlet that is inserted in to the magazine, just like with pellet guns. It's NOT charged in to the mags like we do with propane.

Secondly, these 12g powerlets are NOT in a liquid state as you might be so inclined to believe. It is still in a gaseous state. In order for CO2 to form in to its liquid state, you would need immense atmospheric pressure to cause the phase change. It is not just temperature that would cause it to change phases, like liquid>gas propane. Specifically, it must be at 5.2 atmospheres or higher. That kind of pressure would crush you like a tiny ant.
