We've played for a couple hours in -23 c (without wind chill) and had no issues with our reinforced V2 boxes (metal bodies and large batts, semi only, and take as few shots as necessary).....BUT, we've also seen 18 AEGs go down at a winter game at just -7 c.
But, for die hard winter players I'd recommend the following;
-I would strongly recommend the Mask sorbo piston/cylinder head set.
-I also advise using the softest hop up bucking you can find (a frozen bucking kills your range, especially with the harder types).
-Try to avoid running higher than M100 springs (higher fps means higher stress on the box).
-Avoid using LiPo and full auto select fire (increased ROF will increase the risk of box breaking apart).
-Avoid using mini style batteries (cold temps sucks the power right out of them, and you'll be changing batteries with every mag change).
These are basically good guidelines, but there are always badly cast boxes, and there are always well built AEGs....so no guarantees.
**Winter games are not advised for players using plastic bodies and/or TM quality (non reinforced) mech boxes. The plastic becomes very brittle (as it contracts in the cold) and non reinforced V2 boxes will see the front end blow off.
