CO2 isn't unique to anything created in Germany...

Most places in the USA don't fill CO2 tanks on-site, so the temp of
the tank doesn't make any difference. I'd bet that those places that
do fill on-site take steps to cool the tank, like I said, a partial
fill, and then a fast discharge of that fill will cool the tank down
to the point that it will get a thick layer of ice/frost. I've had
small 12oz CO2 bottles for paintball that I couldn't touch bare-handed
for about 15-20 minutes.
