When playin' paintball outdoors in cold weather, what should I take into account.?

Question

While my co2 freeze? How will the balls react?

Answer 1

The Co2 is a good question. Some markers handle it ok, but if you are shooting an electric triggered marker, it's probably going to freeze up the marker. The cold temps don't allow for the Co2 to turn to gas a fast as it needs to. It all depends on how cold it is. Just watch the rate of fire, no Rambo rapid fire stuff.
As for paintballs, they are ok, as long as you are not outside all day with the same ones. What I usually do is get some of those chemical hand warmers and put a couple in the box to keep them a little warmer, and it seems to help.
What makes it hurt more is the cold skin being more sensitive to the impact. So wear a couple layers of clothing.

Answer 2

CO2 should be alright, unless it gets so cold, that you shouldn't be there. The paintballs themselves will freeze, and hurt a lot more when you get hit.

Answer 3

i;d definately wear a sweatshirt and possibly gloves, because the ball hurts alottt when u get hit on bare skin because of the fact that it's so cold out. the ground might be a little hard too so be careful !
