Last time i played in the snow it was about 18 degress out and the wind was blowing. I use nitro a revvy and pmi premium paintballs in a .689 BOA barrel. When i played i shot about 50 balls and then they started to break in all of our guns who have been playing. What i'm quessing happened was the paint expanded a little bit and broke in the barrel. IF you know anything about playing in the winter please tell me because i hate spending 40$ to play in an indoor course. (i'm broke)

it is most likely the paint. some companies make paint with "winter" fill. just make sure the paint is very fresh and is a good bore size match.

Up in maine we do it all the time.

You need a shorter barrel
Some thick shelled paint
And a Fomie bolt helps

This will reduce most of the brakes. The paint becomes brittle in cold weather. So you get the shorter barrel to reduce the friction and lower your chances of brakes. Thick shelled paint from wal-mart will work great. And the fomies are just easyier on paint
