Has anybody ever used their tanaka k98 in the winter? i want to put together a SS sniper eastern front impression, and the only way to do that would to get a tanaka, and use it in the winter.
on second thought, does anybody make a k98 custom out of a VSR's internals?

Try searching around the custom k98 threads, as well as the ones on the Tanaka. That shoudl tell you how they perform in colder conditions. you do realize the topic name is for Heer, and its for an SS impression ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png)

Generally gas weapons is useless in the winter, atleast on (normal) cold days. You have troubles sometimes in the fall and early spring too, it depends. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) (In my part of the woods anyway.)

The tanka works fine in the winter. We used one at Long Winter in 28 degree weather and it still short hard and acurate.

My Kar 98 shoots all year long and it always shoots perfect and it has just the fps i want. It can be ajustet form 100m/s - 220m/s with 0,2g I play in denmark so i use 160m/s with 0,43g bullit. Its the top limmet here. :-) ![](http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/7198/kar989luftsq9.jpg) I use a HPA rig. I have 1 magazine convertet for HPA and one normal magazine. But i dont use the normal mag. Once you have tryed HPA you don't want to go back to gas. ;D The bottle can be hitten in a gas mask canister on your back. (See the picture below) I use the same system when i play with my MP44 so its nice to be able to plug your kar98 in if you want to play with somthing different. ![](http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/9474/mp44fyrcq7.jpg)

I too had an external rig for some of my gas guns and it is really nice. Not having to worry about huge inconsistencies. Also the Adjustable part is a big plus. If you wanted to convert your gun if you search the classic airsoft forum and get just a parts gun for cheap because for guns like my M1 Garand, the green gas fill valve was the same threading as the brass barbed connector on most any JAC classic gun, so I didn't need to tap a new hole.

Well, since i'm going to be portraying a sniper, and won't be needing a gas mask can, i can still use the gun without that rig, right? just use regular gas?

You could buy a marushin kar 98 or d-boys and spend like a hundred more dollars for upgrades but the only kar 98 good for winter is d-boys kar98 but its not powered by gas on second thought, does anybody make a k98 custom out of a VSR's internals?

For colder weather HPA is a better bet than Green Gas plus you get regulated output. I like your setup Mikkel!
Granted, cold is subjective to everybody. I don't consider it cold unless the daytime high fails to break 0 degrees Fahrenheit. That's about the point where I don't go outside at all. The parent of this thread is in Ireland and I doubt it ever gets that cold there.
At our April event there were a few guys with gas pistols that were putting the mags up against their bodies to keep them warm. For your primary weapon though, I wouldn't rely on body heat to keep your weapon functioning properly.
And yes, there are a number of VSR10 -> K98 conversions that folks have done (I have #9 from Ersatzjack) that shoot harder than a gas Tanaka.

And you know.it's not the only way to do a SS sniper impression...the snipers where pretty active in the summer months too..its not like the eastern front took a break during the summer...:-)
