32 degrees ammo

i have an idea that its not rated for that temperature, all day a few shots then BREAK. few shots then another. and paint was gettilng all over the bolt and feed tube. and no i was not choping. what are some good cold weather paint so this does not happen again.

First of all how old was the paint and did you do the "Drop test" to see how brittle the paint was before you started to fire it???

If not then the problem is down to the paint been to old/brittle

I think the Cronic is a great winter paint btw, so give that a shot and you will be laughing

Check your bolt o-rings, you have blowback.

my o rings are fine i checked them when i had to clean my marker
crap i forgot about the drop test, how does it work again?

 

[Graham-DV8]

This is from memory....

6ft high drop.....

1-2 drops 2 brittle will break in marker

3-4 brittle (just right for electros running @ low psi

5-6 fresh/just right

7-9 hard (will not break on target)

any harder it will be like marbles

This will tell you if they are fine, gas up the gun and put tissue over the feed tube and then fire. Tell me what happens.

True let the tech solve it

Damm those clever tech.....

Nice idea with the drop test, all my paint usually breaks on 1 drop. Zap teal and it never breaks in my bushy

 

[Graham-DV8]

I've used paint that broke after 1drop (and that was from less than 6ft) and it was fine. But I would not of prob used had I done the drop test before.

And that was with Zap Cronic
