Weather

yea nothing pretty much else you need to know excpet weather has more impact on your paint and co2 then the gun. if you keep balls in the sun they'll get to hot and goey and will just ooze paint in the hopper and then you'll be screwd cause all of your paint will be wrecked and make sure you have a squeege in the winter cause easier to chop you can also try and lower velocity if possible in winter to avoid chop! or just keep balls in hopper or in pouch to keep warm at right temp.

Tippmanns are bombproof, we have 80 on my site and they work if its snowing, raining, hailstoning, you get the picture! A guy even dropped his in the river, it was totally submerged and it stil worked when he fished it out, just keep it oiled in all the right places.

Not only that but they they shoot well too.

 

[joe bob]

you can make them look pretty cool too

Well last weekend i was playing the walk on day at camapign with my speed and it was pissing it down, only problems i had really was rain getting in the porting on my barrel affecting the accuracy slightly, no effect to the electronics though

 

[joe bob]

that is what electrical tape is for

if you play on a cold day and your CO2 gets colder each time you shoot, and your using an electro marker, it may not work at all!
some of the electronic circuits inside depend on having certain, constant, resistor values, if you cool or freeze a resistor, its resistance changes.

Each time you shoot a CO2 powered gun, its turns the liquid in the bottle into vapour, now doing this requires energy, and metal is a good conductor of heat, (it can transfer heat from A to B quickly!), so the liquid takes any heat, which is a form of energy (if you didn't know), out of the bottle and its surroundings inculding your marker. so your marker will get cooler too. if it is already a cold day, each time you fire your marker, your marker is gonna get colder!

"Nice", you might think, "it'll work faster cos theres no resistance in the circuit!"

But if the wrong voltage is going to the wrong place in the circuit, or the current is too low to power your solenoids, then you better hit the bench early and remeber to use air next time!


or just use a mechcanical.

E blades can get moisture under the grip...also...paint doesnt fly too well in rain as it hits the balls and makes them swerve about all over the shop...also eye's can get moisture on them which affects the way they see paint.
