Cold weather & ball breaks

[theeighthwonder]

I have a Spyder Shutter, Lapco Autospirit stainless barrel, shooting PMI Marbillizer Balls. The temp was 20 degrees and I had severe ball breakage before my gun froze up. About the breakage, wich is more likely to be the culprit, the gun in cold or the barrel in cold? I have heard rumors of both having cold weather issues.

Why did you make this a poll?

Your gun and barrel is not the problem in cold weather. It is the affects on the co2 and paintballs.

If the problem was a matter of the effects of Co2 and cold weather, wouldn't my team-mates and opponents have the same problem. In other words they were shooting , bruizer fugitive, and 2 tippman model 98's w/ all of us same paint. I was the only one breaking 90% of the balls.

Well we played the other day,it was 35 out,almost all of us was spary painting each other,in other words blowing broken balls out the barrel.Only one paint ball we had out there at the time was marbs and they held up too it.i had some inferno at the start but then i was out .That held up.Then the rains came and we had proball and it wasn't any better.I was watching my friends gun blow snow out the barrel. A yes Count we where not warming up our tanks or guns.My tank froze up in the mid part of one game,kinda had too due too low CO2.refilled it and thur it in the truck for 10 mins in a warm cab.My gun didn't freeze A-Mag. I loan my piranha too a kid to use and it held up ok.Till it got the cold weather Blues too.

cold weather affects co2 by droping the psi, and affects paintballs by making the shell less flexible(more brittle). if u want to play in winter find paint that is made to last in cold temp and get nitro.

I have nitro and CO2 but back in the woods we only have a fill station of co2,I wasn't gooing to lug a 250 cycl. in there.
