Mr. Duffo tests the cold weather performance of several gas blowback airsoft rifles, including a Tokyo Marui Saiga 12, an AK, a GHK Steyr AUG, a Gun Modify Scar L, and a Tokyo Marui MWS. After being left outside in near-freezing temperatures for over an hour, the rifles were tested with cold magazines, revealing significant operational issues across most models due to the cold, moist conditions.
Cold temperature is always a problem for those using gas blowbacks, but let's find out if there are some models which can manage to keep up with the cold weather. Jason of GI Tactical, Airsoft GI's East Coast Store, checks with some models for this test, and the temperature outside when the video was taken was at 25 Degrees Fahrenheit, or around -4 Degrees Celcius.
