| 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. ------------- A-5 Flatline E-Grip Tapco T-6 stock JCS Duel Trigger JCS Universal BiPod Core Remote 88ci/4500psi Crossfire R-5 Hopper Apex Barrel Hot Shot red dot Lapco offset Spec Ops A5-A2 grip |

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. -------------

Don't do it! I have a friend that tried that and the same thing happend that A-5command said. Drastic drop in velocity.
