aye .. my TM De's don't mind the cold though being a lil more worn I generally only get a lil over 1 mag of bb's and I have to drop down to .25's from my normal .28's

I took my Shrike/LMG M4 into the cold (around 3-5degrees) .. didn't have any running issues with the gun itself.. but I run a CA reinforced V2 box, and I only run a 110 spring... battery was fine.. infact the game was like a month ago and large 9.6 3800 MAH still has juice in it however the lil bitty battery in the box mag was starting to get pissy around the 4K round mark...

... though I'll admit once we get close to zero temps here on the island (it's a WET chill to the bone fast cold... serious) I can think of better warmer things to be doing

most of the people I see with issues are heavy springs or high ROF/heavy trigger fingers and small batteries ... however I'm sure there are people outside that "norm"


as for playing in the snow... I have to admit the few time I have done it... theres something to be said for the ability to hammer at a tree limb above someone you can't get a shot on.... and dump a few pounds of snow on their head ...
