How waterproof are AEGs. I am wondering just in case i get caught in the rain or snow.

Light snow isn't a problem. I wouldn't really recommend playing in the rain.

There's allot of opinions on this topic. Pika on ASP has stated several times that he plays in all out rain storms(lives in Florida). And several other people do also. In the last while that I've been playing, I have to agree, though make sure you clean and dry your gun afterwards. Actually last weekend I soaked 3 of my AEG's:) But there could be adverse effects though the general concensous is don't submerse your gun, but using it in most weather won't do allot of harm.

A real wise idea if you do take it out in the rain or snow (I've done both, and my AEG's still work fine) and to elaborate on what luke said, be EXTRA EXTRA sure to wipe down your AEG/dry it, or use some rem oil on the metal parts. I've had one unfortunate incident where my MP5 was wet and was left in the gun gas for a little while, with mold growing on it, and spot rust on the metal parts. Needless to say, it was neither fun to smell it, nor clean it (all problems were the exterior though).

Well one other addition that I usually forget to do with my armalites, clean and dry the outer barrel under the handhaurds, I've noticed some rust(specks here not patches) start under there when I hadn't payed much attention after a weather intensive game.
