It might rain on Sunday, and I'm playing on that day, and I'm wondering, will the rain effect my eVLution 2 in any way, so it won't work/break?

Thanks.

My guess would be if water got inside the hopper(where you pour the paint into) it might break. Who knows?

put some kind of cover on it just in case, bin liner.
if it moves it becomes a target

shouldnt hurt a thing. Unless while your loading in a game, and hopper lid wide open, and water gets in a crack. thats about it, *if**if**if* with a 1/1,000,000 change of some getting in there. I have played, rain, sleet, snow, mud, u name it, ive played it, and never had a problem..even since i got my revvy..

Playing in the rain is usually a sloppy mess...

Paintballs don't like water. Hoppers are usually sealed pretty well, so I wouldn't worry too much unless you plan to submerg the hopper.

It shouldn't affect the hopper at all. The board is comleatly seperate from the actual body and feedneck. The Evo motor is fully encased with in its own body making it pretty hard to break the motor unless you fully submerge it under water.

Check my thread in the Great guns thread for Timmy tech help or PM me
