Too cold for Co2?

....wrap your co2 bottle in a sock and play with it under your armpit :)

You can get 28 gram N20 disposables, they are for some whipped cream machine ( which sucks banana peals.) I'd like to see someone mod a stock class to use that. The're not that much bigger than a 12 gram.

So it takes you an hour drive to fill your scuba tanks? Big deal? Find a way for it to "pay for itself" by selling refills to other players. You will quickly find yourself buying a few more scuba cylinders and doing bulk runs. Its amazing what cash in hand/profit can do to motivate people to drive an hour one way once or twice a month. Selling HPA fills used to pay for me to play paintball, is that worth your time and effort?

Expound the benefits of HPA to your buddies, once they figure out that it works well regardless of how cold it is, they'll hop on the band wagon, especially if they can get the air on site.

Expound the benefits of HPA to the local field owner. Some people wont play during the winter simply because their gear doesn't perform well in the cold due to the CO2 performance, more people on HPA means more people playing = more income for the field owner.

I ended up playing Co2 in 32-28 degree weather. Everything was good for a while but my mag did not like the Co2. My mag now hates me. I now have a fund to start collecting for a HPA steel tank. Do not make offers I have no money yet, just a fund.

i've played with CO2 in sub zero tempatures, i was using a tippy with the velocity turned all the way up (just so it would get more co2 in the gun) i was shooting snow it was way cold.

we were playing outside in alpena michigan in the middle of january.

bad idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!

had 3 friends blow burst disks that way!

however you can put them on the outside of your hopper to keep paint from getting brittle in the cold weather


BTW we've played in -5*f weather and not had many problems w co2 (with the exception of spiders)
