I remember way back in the day that the RP Schere company used to make a winter weight paintball called "Ice" something. It had a thicker shell to stand up to cold temps without breaking in the barrel. I wonder if they still make it?
Of course, the stuff bounced off players that wore lots of thick clothing for warmth. Heh. The coldest day I ever played paintball in was around low 40s. By then though, my marker was highly modified to work on a mere 350 psi of pressure and very rarely (never) broke normal paint in the barrel. I had to worry more about freezing the CO2 tank solid while shooting. :) Mike M ________________________________ From: jvragu47 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: R/C Tank Combat <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 2008 7:27:46 AM Subject: [TANKS] Re: Winter season battles Neil, We put on a demonstration for a local airclub in March one year. I actually was doing a live fire demo when the paint just would not fly. I think that the first 2 shots went out, but the next broke in the barrel.. The goo was so thick that the follwing shots broke behind the first. The temp that day was a balmy 45 degrees F. Since then we've never attempted an event under 60 degress F.
