ATS Performance in the winter?

Does any know if there are any issues playing in the cold? I plan on playing a few games around 0C (32F) down to possibly -10C (14F).

My AT-85 is designed for HPA, not CO2 so I'm not sure if it will work well in the cold. I'm worried seal failing and oil freezing...etc.

What are the operating temperatures for the AT-85?

Thanks

0C will be fine. I can't comment on -10, but I think any problems will stem from brittle paint rather than the gun. Make sure you are using thick shelled winter paint and you should be okay.

You got it russc. I've tested by leaving them outside overnight in our MN winter, not exactly controlled but defiantly cold. The morning temp was -15 and other than the paint being a solid clump it ran fine. Just make sure you are using winter paint and that you do not have any excess moisture in your HPA system.
