playing in the winter??

winter is coming and i would like to know if u can play paintball in the winter. i was talking to my mother the other day, she is a teacher and some of her students r sponserd by some company in paintball, and they say because of something with the c02 tanks you cant play in the winter, so can u or not?

there is no point of playing with co2 in winter, hpa will do the job perfectly

I have never played in the winter, what if you just put a sock over your tank, will that work lol

yeah never play in the winter with co2..

  c02 works in winter if you get a wool cover at least it works for me.

Why are you posting those smileys?

Co2 will give you troble beyond your greatest imagination in winter. However, you can do a few things to make winter play a little more worthwhile. First of all, if you want to solve the problem foreveryou can buy a HPA tank. www.FirstCallPaintball.com is having a great deal on this HPA tank. http://www.firstcallpaintball.com/detail.aspx?ID=1436 If you buy it before sunday night you can get free shipping, or if you spend more then $200(not including paintballs) shipping is also free. If you do not have the money or do not want to buy a HPA tank you can do a few things to try and warm up the co2 so it can expand into a gas from a liquid. If you get a remote line and run it under your jack your body heat will warm the co2 through the remote and let it expand into a gas. If you do not want to by a remote you can buy a few handwarmers and duct tape them to your tank. Then you can put a sock or a winter hat around it and keep it on with a belt, rubber band, more tape, or what ever you want.

anything that will keep the tank above 40 degrees will work. under 40 degrees it can not turn into gas. but if you somehow keep the tank above that temperature (hand heat pads, or any insulation on the tank) your gun should be useable. i wouldnt put those handwarmers directly on your tank. they can heat up well over 130 degrees, which is very unsafe. get some kind of pouch for your tank in with a remote, and put the heat on the inner top of it to ensure no overheating.

just a remote alone does not mean the problem is solved. its all in the tank's inner temperature.
