SNAKEBITE Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 If this is indeed a serious question I can answer ............ C02 is affected by tempreature, as is a p.c.p. rifle. In warmer weather power increases and in the cold... well I'm sure you can guess. A springer is also affected but only by the effect of the tempreature on the grease inside the gubbins. It is so minimal as to be of no bother at all. If it is not a serious question then i am unable to answer due to me having to keep on th right side of the mods for a while.

henry d Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 It is explained by the combination gas law..... P1.V1 /T1 = P2.V2/T2 P=Pressure,V=Volume,T=Temperature. so for a certain VOLUME , pressure and temperature will vary ie. if the temperature rises then the pressure will rise by the same degree.

SNAKEBITE Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Yep. And in really hot weather leaving a fully charged pcp in a car in direct sunlight can make it go bang and blow your seals. No, I have not had the pleasure but I have seen the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
