: Can the freeze problem be solved with an expansion chamber device? (w/CO2)
The CO2 evaporating / boiling takes energy. That is why the temperature drops inside the tank.
When the temperature drops the pressure drops.
When the pressure drops below what your cannon requires, then you have good old 'shoot down' "freeze up" or whatever you would like to call that loss of muzzle velocity from the reduced operating pressure.

The third shot in my RPG is a blooper with CO2. The tank frosts up and STAYS Frosted for at least 30 minutes. Frostbite city. I feel NO liquid inside. It turned into dry ice. Solid CO2...
My pressure guage reads about 70 psi.... HALF what it should operate at...
The cure is energy ---- HEAT. Use a remote and Shove that CO2 bottle down inside your shorts.
Me I use Nitrogen Bottle. Just blasts away one shot right after another.
