No M14's use v7's, and i think the type 89 is an 8...My M14 has held up on some snow games, seems to be a strong design.

Wait a min. Is the v8 a type89?

Yup, the only gun that has the V8 mechbox is the Type89.

Well, Altough I have no doubt V.2 mechbox's are the most fragile out there, winter or not, it's the only thing I've used in winter for 3 years now. Never had an issue with the mechbox itself. ''Only'' thing that happened is I snapped a metal body on a freaking cold day. So if you use a V.2 at around 280/330 reinforced GB and you don't abuse automatic fire... Just personnal experience. This winter will be my first one using Li-PO. Can't wait to kick poor Ni-MH's ass

Has anybody used a PTW at -20.

I have one coming next week ,

just in time for real a Northern BC winter.

Or would you be crazy to use this gun.:sad:

IMO..

AK-47 is the best winter gun. V3 gearbox, and the design of the upper and lower reciever is pretty good so as snow has a hard time entering the inside (opposite is true with armalite ie.. ejection port cover). As well, you can take off the upper reciever plate and jam those hot hand warmers in to warm up your mechbox. As well, the selector switch is huge, the magazines/mag catch is huge, all easy to operate with gloves on. I used AK in the winter and it's very nice.

Yesterday was about -10 degrees, and my TM G36C was totally fine. One 600mah mini lasted me the entire game.

HaZarD SFD · November 26th, 2007, 20:01

I would suggest 100% to play semi only. I have attended a game when it was
-30 out and on the field were a G36C, CA M16, and a G36k. All ran great untill
about 3 hours in.. hopups started to harden up and became totally useless..
The CA M16 hopup blew lol.. but no mechboxes broke at all.
