Hello all,

Would the freezing cold weather affect an ego in anyway?

Reason I ask is when in the warm it fires great, but both days I have played in snow it makes a loud venting bang when it shoits instead of the normal POP it usually makes.

The lpr is two turns in from flush with factory settings and set around 280fps.

Cheers for the help

It certainly affected mine at D10 last week. I went through 2 brand new Procells in one day. Any problems were fixed by a fresh battery.

It was doing all sorts of strange things. I had 8 balls come out at once. And yes there was the occasional strange noise. Some of that was me swearing.

Yepp, my ego 11 did the same about 2 weeks ago whilst playing in sub zero temperatures, did really weird things and sounded alot louder with a bang sound. When in the warm works fine and shoots great.
