Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - all round good ranged aeg for winter and summer?

Lipo batteries to keep up the snap in the cold, and battery life. Make sure you mechbox is greased appropriately for cold weather. Try a soft bucking in winter as well to make up for the cold, and possibly use Teflon tape around your rubber to help negate the cold's effect on your air seal. You may have to slightly increase your FPS as well, as cold air will effect BB travel and once it leaves your gun you are helpless from then on.

How cold are we talking? Even a full metal AEG can crater big time in cold weather. Mechboxes and other high grade parts will crack if it is too cold. Another trick I've seen work is to shred a towel into 3' - 4' strips, put an eight hour warming pad on either side of the receiver, then wrap it in the towel strips.

Best method is to buy a PTW, but definitely the most expensive.
