today when i went paintballing my ABT wasnt shooting well. about every 3 shoots it would make the sound like its out of air but when i looked i would still have well over half. i asked one of the workers and they said it was just because of the cold. so my question was is there anyway to stop it from it doing doing that?help:)

hmm... are you using co2??? if so a hpa tank will fix it... if your using hpa i'm not sure what could even cause it... i know it wouldn't be the cold as hpa doesn't need to expand so it works about the same regardless of temp

Had to be using CO2. HPA would fix. If you're using HPA already, I'd check the type of lube you're using...might be too thick at cold temp.

im not sure at all what an ABT is......My guess is that it is like a spyder. I would check your cup seal.

I'm not for sure how your gun is setup but in the cold, lithium batteries work better then regular ones. Our ions had the same problem in the cold but my 98 custom worked just fine. I don't know if your ABT runs on batteries though.
