Rent an HPA tank if possible. If you can't, buy a regulator. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |

| If it is cold enough, you can tape a small heat pack to your tank to keep the pressure up. |

i tried that and it doesn't work. you have to keep shaking those things up. like those other people said, see if you can borrow or rent an HP tank from somewhere. the cold won't let the co2 expand and you will get VERY lousy performance out of your marker.

As CO2 get's colder, the output pressure goes down. It want's to stay liquid. Liquid will come out of the tank with the gas and continue expanding as it makes it's way through your marker. At least get help from a combination of either an expansion chamber, Anti-siphoned tank, regulator, HPA/Nitro, or even C3. Useing a remote won't give you spectacular gains. ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |

| Put your coat on over your pack that holds your tank , it might stay warm enough. |

DO NOT USE HAND WARMERS ON YOUR TANK! that is very dangerous and could cause your tank to explode. also, go here..... this has answered and covered everything mentioned in this topic. http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/forum_posts.asp?TID=150048&KW=hand+warmers - http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/forum_posts.asp?TID=150 048&KW=hand+warmers

i bought the x chamber and my gun lasted a lot longer than anyone elses it was awsome!! when their guns would freeze up id run up and bunker them. There were 3 ice shacks and theyd be sitting ducks in then cause their co2 would freeze their gun in a mater of minutes!
And yes winter paintball may be a pain but it is awsome! ------------- Tippmann 98 Custom Combat stock red dot sight Lapco offset sight Flatline barrel |
