First new gun use questions

[E coli]

Santa brought me a Pro Carb and my 8 year old son a Rebel bottomline. First use today, to familiarize ourselves etc. After much consternation, my new Smart Parts on/off spit out little paper o ring things, solving the problem of why I had no gas.
My son's Rebel broke paint like a big dog. I'm curious if it was the cold (25 F), or the cheap paint that came with the marker. No name, it was the 200 rds that come with your marker packages. I checked for chopping, but only a tiny bit of paint around front bolt. Got tired of cleaning barrel every two or three rounds. The first 50 rounds did fine, but after we were in the cold for a while, probs started.:|

Ain't the cold nasty? Cold weather makes playin really tough, It'll make your guns chew up paint and even more so if the paint is less than adequate. Being from Western NY I know about cold! Even expensive paint after awhile outside will begin to turn my marker into a paint blender. Try playin inside when mama goes shopping! j/k :eek:

My son already suggested that. Mom just didn't understand the effect the game has on you! Just think. I used to like cold weather.:P

yes, unless you get winter fill paint 32 degrees makes some and so does rps; i used the rps in a tourney when it was about 30* out and they shot good no breaks in the whole case i shot :eek:
