so.. here is the weather forecast for our sunday tournament..
http://www.timeanddate.com/weather/austria/vienna

Its gonna be messy and we want to be prepared, so we will wear rain coats under playing jersey and..

..there are some other things we are not sure about:
- should barrel ports be closed (with tape)
- we heared that spraying paintballs with water before use in rain can prevent from breaking them in barrel.. is it true?
- we are planning to use DXS Silver.. should we use Bronze? should we try to get something else?
- is it better to warm paintballs before use, or leave them at temp that they will be used?
- any other suggestions/tips/tricks/experiences?

Thanks for answers!
Didnt see the unusual idea of watering your paint.Never ever let your paint get wet .Moisture causes the shell to soften and the entire ball to swell .look on the floor next time you play ,you will find both. As I mentioned above to keep paint warm when its cold ,you will find the more you check paint grades and makes they are manufactured for a temperature window ie 10 -30 deg .More important to keep it in the window than just simple hot. Warm paint can become "bouncy if it spends time in the hot sun or on your back ,for a long time . Hope that helps

The best way to play in the rain, only personally. Got a Land Rover and drove it around the woodland. I worked at the site, so kind of got away with it....until the owner found out that is!!!
