    I played in weather that started out at aroung Zero in the morning and warmed up to a balmy 19 or so. Honestly, EVERYONE was having issues, myself included. I was running a Retro valved mag with an old J&J Chrome barrel, and I got a break about every 10th ball or so. I spent more time cleaning my barrel than actually playing. My brother went through both a Q Loader equipped A5, X7 and SP1 before grabbing my old bone stock M98 back up with an SP barrel. It was the only thing he could get to work. I partially think the issue was more the Q loader than the markers, but....

    With that said it was pretty much agreed upon that we would have had more luck throwing the paint at each other than we had trying to shoot it out of markers. At one point, I jumped out in front of an open doorway and some dude and I sat there 20 feet apart attempting to shoot each other. After shotgun blasting paint at each other for 10-15 seconds, we both dropped our markers, laughed hysterically, and agreed to call ourselves out.

    Besides the Tippy 98's, about the only "weapons" getting kills that day were the 3 or 4 guys running around with Nerf launchers.

    We were using Polar Ice I beleive...

          I used my tac-one in about 20* weather the other day with no problems. It wasn't as accurate at usual though... but I think it's because I was using summer paint.

                You wild man!!! I would not play in anything under 70!


                Seriously, I've played with a classic using C02 in 50-60F weather and the problem was "chilling the bottle" (when C02 goes to a solid state) not the marker or the paint.
