Hey A5 dude15, where do you live because down in Texas it has snowed about every year. Then again Texas has very unexpected weather.

lol no no no flatline in cold very bad

flatline+cold=Many broken balls and hours of cleaning, cursing, and frustration.

I doubt artic balls will do anything for it.

Well, maby if you shoot very slow. But i doubt it.

O yea and also the barrel loses performence dramaticly because in the cold if you have a reguler co2 tank the pressure will drop making the velocity drop making the flatline only shoot up to 100 feet anyway.

Yeah the Flatline sucks in the cold so much! It almost made me sell mine when I first tryed it out. The paint gets brittle and every single shot will break in the barrel. And if you still use co2, dont expect any added range because your velocity will be low. Use your regular barrel, it will save you so much trouble.
