This time im wondering about gun rust. I have questions like do the metal parts of your gun rust if they get wet in the rain or in the snow? and what could it do the internals of your gun?

It's hard to get water into the internals of your gun, but if it does happen you can do some serious damage. It's actually corrosion of the wires in your motor that you have to worry about the most. So if your AEG gets wet, make sure you check your motor cavity for water.
As far as other parts (body, exposed metal, etc) rusting, yes, it can happen. A good rule of thumb is to clean and dry your AEG if it has been exposed to weather. Another tip is to make sure that your gun case or gun bag stays dry. Many of the bags/cases have foam in them, foam that retains water long after it's exposed. Leaving a gun case open in the rain then storing your gun in it for a few weeks is a one-way ticket to nasty corrosion. If your case gets wet, take it home, open it up, take the gun out (i.e. while you're cleaning it) and leave it open and empty to air out for a few days.
Like anything else, a little bit of care and caution can go a long way to keeping your stuff in good working order.
