Cold weather paintball..

Do i have to worry about my gun freezing or ne problems with my gun/co2 in the cold? its gunna be between 0-20 degrees

[Coolrulez]

YES YOU DO,

Co2 will most likely freeze after 10 shots (exaggerating). Im guessing you like in the Northwest because thats what the weather is like here, I would not recommend playing in that kind of temperatures, just wait it'll warm up soon. :)

[FoolZ GOLD]

yes, i do live there. But wut exactly will happen? cuz me and like 20 other ppl r gunna play at this kids house (he has a lot of land) and thye play in winter all the time and nothin happens to them...i think..

What happens is that your shots become inconsistent and you're more likely to break paint as the cold weather wreaks havoc on the shells. I can go all summer without a ball break but once the thermometer goes below 40 degrees my marker starts chopping and I'm running HPA. CO2 markers are usually much harder on paint at that temp. Though I enjoy playing in the winter...(for one thing... the games are much slower with snow) it's just not worth freezing my off to get in a few games. I'm old though...so take it with a grain of salt! :paranoid:

guns just don't cycle well in the cold, along with brittle paint it just doesnt work out.
but using either A/S co2 or HPA and some arctic inferno or polar ice paint would be the best bet for playing in the winter

Another reason not to play in the cold is that the paint can start to freeze in the hopper. I caught one in the tush a couple of weeks ago when it was like 20 degrees and boy did I feel it!

I can't believe after the other post you made about someone shooting your cousin in the face (without a mask) and you thinking it was funny, that they let you touch a paintball. Let alone the marker and ball together.

[FoolZ GOLD]

it wuzn't my cousin, it wuz my friends cousin

I was one of the people paintballing with FooL. It was also my first time, and LOTS of fun! I got shot in the hands four times tho, and I wasn't wearing gloves:crazy:

[cockerpunk69]

the cold will destroy ur cup seal, and with c02 it will ruin the rest of your marker.

stop bringing up dead threads.
