Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - AEG BB misfeeding/misfiring

-Shade · November 24th, 2013, 12:32

Played a game the other day where the average temp was around freezing or below zero. Does cold weather cause issues for AEGs, not including the batteries?

Essentially what was happening to me was my gun wouldn't fire my .3 bioval BBs properly. They would misfeed. I would press the trigger 2-3 times, and the motor would cycle fully each time no problem, before a BB shot out. If I switched to .3 green devils or ANYTHING below .3, like my .28 and .25 - they would fire perfectly with no hassle.

Is it just always cold in the UK where green devils come from, so they know how to handle the weather? lol? Is it just the biovals?

I just fired every BB type I have inside my house INCLUDING the .3 biovals and everything works flawlessly.

I may have answered my own question here, but is it just the weather then? Can I help this in any way? Obviously the simple answer is just use green devils or lower weight BBs, but are there any other surprises I should watch out for with cold weather? (aside from batteries)

Thanks!
