I was wondering if it was possible to play paintball outside in the winter, in Canada, so that means it gets pretty cold. We would be playing at temperatures at around -10 degree celcius.

Is this possible, will it ruin my gun? We will be playing with spyders and tippman and running compressed air...I know the paintball would freeze, but that's under control. But I need to know if the gun would funtion normally and not break...

Thanks alot for the help

If you're using co2 you better have an expansion chamber or a reg. I think it'd be ok with hpa

Make sure that the lubricants you use will not congeal at that temp. Other than that, I would suggest keeping all spare paint inside and warm, until you are ready to load for the next game. Hpa should not be affected by the temp to much and the only other issue will be the guns being more brittle because of the cold.
